First love..
This is what started it all for me. Seeing this watch advertised in magazines like Newsweek and Time made an impression on me when I was in my late teens. I remember being enamored with the brushed steel and the contrast of white on gray.
Doesn’t get much wrist time these days as preferences have changed to darker colored dials. But it’s here to stay. It has been with me for 17 years after all

Yes, my friend, the Explorer II is a great watch and the 16570 a cool reference.
I loved mine, but the Cream Dial killed it.
and it should stay with you.... very nice reference
gave mine to one of my son-in-law so still in the family...
I was toying the idea of giving this to my daughter if and when. I asked her about it a couple of years ago. She said it was too expensive. But shés still in college so who knows :-)

A long period of ownership
That is a long time Echi, 17 years.
My first automatic watch which isn’t a luxury watch is almost 3 years old. On 17 April i have it 3 years.
I commit i am also sensitive for watch advertorials like you.
A magazine is a paper salesman.
I saw a Longines advertorial a few years ago on their website... I bought that watch.
I saw many advertorials, i am afraid i end up with a huge watch collection 😎

Saved up and bought a 1970 Speedmaster when I was 17
20+ years later, however, it's the polar 16570 (and the Cartiers) which get all the wrist time. Never intended to get a Rolex, but took this one in as part of a trade with the intent of quickly selling it for cash. But fell in love with the dial and crisp appearance of this reference - for me it's the perfect sports watch.
Yes it is! A good one and done for many. All the exp2 that i see on friends and acquaintances, it´s usually their only nice watch. To be fair, I suppose no different from most other pieces in the rolex stable.

Interestingly, I hardly ever see the polar outside of the WIS community.
