Very nice - in the future people will ask why there were so few white face ROLEX sports IMO

nigelk · 3 October 2019, 05:18 PM

what a stunner! cant wait for my own polar to come back from RSC :)

adawil2002 · 4 October 2019, 01:18 AM

Very nice. In my opinion the Explorer II Polars are the best Rolex.

16570 was my first Rolex sport reference and is what really sparked my interest in collecting 5 digit sport watches.

Beautiful watch

To anyone considering an Exp2. They suck. They look cheap in person. Go buy Subs and other mainstream models.

The more I see these the more I want one. I think a full set no-holes version is in my future. Quick question- is there a consensus on how well the glidelock bracelet works with 5-digit sports models featuring SEL / no-holes cases? I know that you can get them to fit but how seamless does it look in terms of variation in metal and finish between the new bracelet and old case? I've read some of the threads and seen a few pictures but it's still a bit unclear whether it's worth trying to retrofit to achieve best of both worlds or if it will always look a bit "off". I already have a SEL 16710 with holes so I know that the old bracelets are decent though not exceptional.

I think the no holes 16570 with the 97200 Glidelock is a great combination. It is the best of the five digit and six digit world together. Just use the 16570 spring bars and you can see the fit below.

My wrist swells and shrinks as I exercise, go between the office and outdoors, etc. so the Glidelock gets used almost everyday. But I prefer this Polar to any of the current Rolex lineup.

To sum up, I highly recommend this combination.

I too have the 16570 and thinking of doing the same. Any idea how much the updated bracelet with glidelock will set me back?

I’d be sorry I let mine go if I hadn’t picked up the 6 digit polar shortly after

16570 is the one that will never leave my collection.

Pretty watch.

Dedot · 4 October 2019, 07:44 AM

This model was my impulse buy a number of years back. Went to the AD to have a browse and saw a polar one and was mesmerised by the white dial and walked out with that. Enjoy wearing it!
