I thought like you did and then tried on the explorer 2 polar and the dial is just very big looking and empty,to me any ways it was a big turn off.the black I liked a lot more.

Ya I really should go try them on, but I always feel bad walking into a watch store knowing I am not going to buy anything from them because I truly enjoy the service and price I get from the trusted sellers here.

If you can wait and save for the EXPII, that is what I would do. If you can't, then really the only thing to do is try on the EXPII and make a decision based on the one that sings to you.

If it were me, I would take the EXPII over the sub any day of the week. Why? Because subs are a dime a dozen and the EXPII is a much more unique piece IMO.

I own both a DSSD and a polar 42mm EXPII and if I had to keep just one, it would be the EXPII. I had the old version and it is one of the only watches I ever missed after I sold it.

You can't go wrong with either and again get the one that makes you smile the most

I would flip it. The Explorer II is a real standout, the only thing that comes close to it on the market is the GMT IIc, which is sufficiently different in its execution to make a decision relatively easy. The Sub C is not one of the best watches in Rolex's lineup, and looks extremely overpriced and underspec'd against its competition now - it's certainly no classic

I'm not a Sub C fan, and I've flipped about 30 watches in the last 10 years so you can guess what I'm going to say...

keep the Sub

sdwtchlvr · 25 October 2012, 03:48 AM

If you can't get both, then get the one that you will wear most and enjoy. Both will be around for a very long time.

Keeps the sub, no point wasting money

Solo118 · 25 October 2012, 03:59 AM

I had the SubC, flipped it to get an EXP II. Needless to say I went back to the SubC after just 2 weeks.

It fits me a bit better, and I simply missed it after getting the EXP. Do not get me wrong I loved the EXP II, but I prefer a Sub in my life.

sierra11b · 25 October 2012, 04:06 AM

If saving isn't an option I would do it having owned both the 116610 and 116710. The 216570 is the best flip I ever made.

Although I will say that if you can save you will have a white face and black face. If you're a one watch guy I would probably opt for the black 216570 as that's what I have.

andyol1966 · 25 October 2012, 04:39 AM

Agree with all those that said keep the sub and save for the Polar ExpII. I did that myself and love both watches. I wear each for a week then swap. Love the contrast between the black and white dials. Both are great watches and I can't decide which I like most. Certainly wouldn't flip the sub after such a short time.

mannyv11 · 25 October 2012, 04:47 AM

Ya I guess I will be keeping the sub for the time being I really do love the watch. It fits perfectly and the bracelet and clasp are awesome. Hopefully in 2-3 years I will be posting an incoming thread for the polar exp =)

As already said: keep it and save for the new EXII (in black hahhaha)
