214270 Flipped for 16570 w 3186...
It all started with a SS white faced Daytona. Then a couple of years back I added a BLNR. At first it had a bit too much 'bling' but brushing the PCLs helped. I still wanted something that was more subtle and picked up the 214270 from a trusted seller. I wore it on occasion but the BLNR kept finding its way on my wrist. Recently the Explorer II caught my eye. I like the 40mm given my 6.5" wrists and the sleek profile. This is my first Rolex flip so I'll see if there's regrets.
This is also my first 5 digit reference and I'm still getting used to the older style bracelet but overall I love it! |

They are lovely watches and so unassuming. My wife has worn a Polar 16570 for the past three years as a daily and prefers it every time to her TT 29mm YM.
Enjoy. |

Congrats! The polar is on my want list along with your previous 214270. If I'm able to get either one, I'd probably get the polar first!

The 16570 it's an awesome watch I had a polar for 2 years, sold it and got a black which I recently sold , it was the first Rolex I bought new and wore it for 14 yrs.
It's a great combination of dressy and sporty watch ,It wears a bit small IMO. |

I really enjoy wearing my polar 16570 as well. Thinking about adding the black version that I once had a long time ago. These references are so underrated.
