Had to do it!
You only live once right?

Just picked up this 216570 about two hours ago. On tour all across Europe and after almost 8 weeks I broke down and got it. Didn't help that EVERY hotel had a Rolex display in the lobby and this hotel in Tenerife had a Rolex AD IN THE LOBBY!!! HAHA.

Not the best pictures but it's late and been a long day (was in Switzerland earlier this afternoon).

Congratulations on your acquisition. I love the look of the polar dial and can never work out why it didn't sing to me when I tried it on.

I too love the polar dial. Prefer it to the black one. The white dial is really legible and looks great. I myself still on the fence though.
