Two's Company..

This was a bit of an unexpected incoming but I'm glad it happened. Last November I purchased my first 5 digit reference, the polar 16570 and loved it. I wear it most weekdays for work and thought it would be nice to add the black dial version at some point. While browsing different references online I came across a good deal on one and pulled the trigger..here it is..

Nice duo! They're being offered at a great value, IMO, right now too!
Congrats and enjoy
Looks like a CLS too had one when the new body came out, really liked it

That's was my dream too!!! But I decided on a Polar dial and a NoDate Submariner for the Black Dial version. But your plan works wonderfully too!!!!!

Well the Polar has seen the most wrist time since I just received the black dial yesterday but I'll probably be splitting them equally throughout the week..

Funny you mention that, I was thinking the same thing. I was browsing the Crown&Buckle website for leather options as well.
