My first INCOMING!!

Hi everyone - want to thank the forum for its input when I posted a thread while I was deciding between a sub c and explorer II. This forum has been enjoyable to read and I've learned a lot from browsing posts over the past couple of months. With that said, I finally pulled the trigger a new Polar Explorer II. I find myself looking at it then realizing I didn't even see what time was. It's an awesome watch and I look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Sorry for the crummy iPhone pics. Will take some better ones with the SLR later. Thanks everyone and have a good one!

Congrats, you chose wisely!

Just out of curiosity, was the white face the clear choice for you? I picked up a Polar this week as well but even when I was at the AD buying it I was flip flopping between the white and black face.

For me the clear choice was the polar. I have never owned a watch with a white dial and knew it was the right choice because basically I couldn't stop looking at it. For me personally, I didn't love the matte dial against the shiney black hands on black dialed explorer II, but that's just me and at the end of the day you really can't go wrong with either. Thanks all for the congratulations!!
