Nevermind on the attachment or pic post, as it looks like I need 10 forum posts to post a pic. I’ll upload soon enough :)

Thanks all!! I’ve searched around different strap options but currently im sticking to orange as it plays well with the gmt dial and explorer II writing in the timepiece

Yea I’m looking at some darker brown leather straps to see what works...I think some fading straps may look really good on this but will be trial and error...

Welcome and Congrats! Your Polar was a great choice. I purchased mine while just visiting my AD this past June, Actually was great timing as they just recieved it that morning, still in coffin in back and haven't had one since. Enjoy ! !

need help
Hello all. I am new to this forum and I'm having difficulty finding where to go, so I can pay the annual sponsorship fee in order to post my watches I would like to sell. If anyone can help me with this process it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

Thank goodness every individual on the planet is not forced to think the same way!!!! :)

I don’t disagree the steel strap is pure class, but that doesn’t work for my day to day if this is my daily watch :) ...great thing I can swap it back on when I need/want!

And I LOVE the orange nato strap look on it!!
