So, as may of you guys and gals know, I'm a watch nut. Love them all, not just Rolex.

I've been searching high and low for my next watch and I can't find one that I just "have" to have as of yet. I'm not a flipper, so I'm buying for keeps. Lately, I'm being drawn back into the fold. I keep looking at 1675s, 16710s, 16570s, 5513/5512sm 14060s. They really are INCREDIBLE watches. So, what to do, what to do, what to do....

These things are just sooooo nice! I keep coming back to this one.....

looks soooooo good in pics.

And, now the wife is looking at datejusts!!!!! Oh boy oh boy! I need another watch!

JBat · 27 April 2010, 12:13 PM

It is sweet. I want one myself. If it's singing to you that much, go for it.

Latrodectus · 27 April 2010, 12:16 PM

Yes, a great watch...since you really want it, get it and you will love it for ever!

truetime · 27 April 2010, 12:38 PM

i am too looking for a NICE 5513

HAPPY HUNTING

bests,

Do it Mik!!!

Rolex Freak · 27 April 2010, 02:36 PM

I sold mine a couple years ago, and still kicking myself HARD for doing it. I will bring another EXP II home very soon though. Buy it and keep it.

Davidco · 27 April 2010, 02:38 PM

I love my Explorer II, it wears well and looks great, however, IMHO my Sub is more comfortable on my wrist and does not make any noise. My Sub is my new favorite.

they look great in pix, definitely, and even better in person/on the wrist. you've done the research, you're a WIS, you know what you like, and it's the polar Explorer.

Just do it already! Go for it!

You will never regret it.

Psmith · 27 April 2010, 10:11 PM

The Exp II is a great looking and comfortable watch - I've had two of 'em - but these days I find it wears a tad too small & light for my liking. Looking forward to the much-anticipated new version next year (we hope)

Cheers

CoopJr · 27 April 2010, 10:54 PM

These and the Subs Mik...perfect all 'round watches..."keepers" indeed!

multimedia · 27 April 2010, 11:21 PM

Go for it!

The Explorer II is a real cool looking watch.

Cheers,
Joe

Renoir · 27 April 2010, 11:25 PM

Agreed!

The white dial is special.

wildsidemtb · 27 April 2010, 11:29 PM

pull the trigger I would if I had the money

Puffy · 27 April 2010, 11:33 PM

It's a super versatile watch, perfect for any occassion, and it should form part of every WIS' collection...

R1@160@alltimes · 27 April 2010, 11:42 PM

Welcome back to the light side....I thought you were lost in PAM land forever

dalip · 27 April 2010, 11:59 PM

Don't know why...but the Exp II has never been in my radar....But I will try one on again.
Back to you....you know what the response is going to be here....and it's just the push you need..Do it!!!!!

AWS · 28 April 2010, 12:48 AM

I love my Exp II. It is my best all around watch.

GerardoG · 28 April 2010, 12:49 AM

Can't go wrong with a polar expy!

sakuraba · 28 April 2010, 01:17 AM

Go for it Mik!

This was one watch purchase I never regretted.

Starwalker · 28 April 2010, 01:48 AM

The only reason that I dont like the POLAR explorer is because of the creamish contrast of the lume against the white dial, it seriously does not appeal to me. I prefer the black dial a lot better....just giving u my thoughts, but whatever makes you happy :)

Following up on my prior post.....Your thread provides me with the perfect excuse to again post my pic from earlier this month. The warmer it gets, the cooler I feel looking at this shot.

Lion · 28 April 2010, 02:05 AM

The Explorer II are beautiful watches and I would love to own a white dialed one. I do not think you can go wrong in adding one to your collection!!!

Tools · 28 April 2010, 02:27 AM

I like both dials.............

Kanger · 28 April 2010, 02:28 AM

I'm dying for a white one......

laughinggull · 28 April 2010, 02:58 AM

I am not a big fan of white dials......

but then there is the Polar Exp....and it's just sublime

Nothing else like it

DO IT
