New to me polar Exp II

Just bought this "previously owned" polar Explorer II at my local AD. Since the picture threads seem to be popular, I thought I'd share a few with it's new friends...

You can't go wrong with the EXP II . I have had my Polar about 8 months and it is getting more wear than all the other watches in the box.

With that fine line up of solid German brands you should add a Sinn to your collection! Check them out.

No, the Explorer is just fine, especially in company with the other "tools". Like others in this thread I really enjoy the Leica.

Congrats to a great addition to a wonderful collection of pleasurable tools.

Best,

A

Nice shots with the Leica and the vintage Benz. What model is it?

Next on the list of German toys should be an H&K.

I guess that depends on whether he needs some extra home security or is planning world domination!
Anyway, he couldn't post pics of that!
