Incoming ! 216570
Quick story :
I got on the list for a Polar Dial Explorer II and a GMT II BLNR about 6 months ago. Popped in a few times between October and early January... but had not been to that store since. Bought a 2018 Submariner w/ date about 4 weeks ago from Chase @ Nashville Watches. Awesome Rolex, was flawless, and the sales transaction carried no tax. Fast forward to Friday afternoon, I get the call. Totally unexpected and I truly had given up on waiting. Seriously I was just done with AD's as the inventory was dried up in Seattle. They are being offloaded to Asia or somewhere...just not happening in my city. Wrong !

You get an Explorer ll "just like" the new one, but with the right movement. Much more reliable. |

Very nice! I have one myself and in my collection of Blk sub, Hulk, Cartier santos, my Polar Explorer II is hands down my daily and favorite.
Enjoy it and wear it as much as possible! |

Excellent! I hope you’ll be enjoying it as much as I am. Here’s mine on a Hirsch. I also have an orange Rubber B.

I own the black, but love the white too. It's so much more legible for my aging eyes.

Nice, wear it in good health! Display cases in the Seattle area are definitely bare, like everywhere else, was it BB or AGJ?
