New (to me) polar 216570

[bmclaurin]

First post here. Picked up my first ever Rolex a few days ago, a pre-owned polar 216570 from Tourneau in Las Vegas. I live in Vegas, so I’m fortunate to have such a plentiful selection of fine watches all over town. But I can tell you, there are practically no Rolex sport models to be found, even here. I’ve been on the hunt for a BLNR, but refuse to pay over retail, so I’ll likely be waiting/hunting for a while. In the meantime, I stumbled across this fantastic pre-owned Explorer a few days ago at Tourneau, and I just couldn’t pass it up.

I’m no collector, but I have a couple/few decent pieces I’ve accumulated over the years. My previous daily driver is the Omega Planet Ocean 600M 43.5mm, which has been fantastic ever since I bought it about 5 years ago.

But dang, this Rolex is simply on another level. It is so balanced and comfortable. I can wear it literally all day with zero fatigue or discomfort. I practically forget it’s there, which is essentially impossible with the giant PO.

And as an added bonus, my Watch Tracker app tells me I’m running +0.2s/day. Are you freaking kidding me??!!

Anyway, cheers and hello.
