Background: you are looking for a ss watch, you have owned Polar Expys before (3 times) and given it away as presents to family members, you know you love it and the Expy has gotten the most amount of replies ever here (JJ's review), but......

You recently saw a white ss daytona, and someone's post (thank you Karis) has picked your brain.

You can get an Expy at a discount and your AD can get you the daytona for pretty much list in under 4 weeks.

What would YOU do?

Is this a trick question?

My goodness, that is a tough one, let me think about this for a minute

ok, I have got it...let me be clear...GET THE DAYTONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

GerardoG · 27 August 2009, 09:39 AM

It's not.

esm · 27 August 2009, 09:40 AM

I'd wait for 4 weeks.

Carlo Miguel · 27 August 2009, 09:43 AM

Daytona all the way...

swatty · 27 August 2009, 09:44 AM

Daytona

Dr.B · 27 August 2009, 09:46 AM

Daytona!!

C. Davidson · 27 August 2009, 09:47 AM

Im poor so paying double or triple the price for a Daytona isn't a viable option for me. I would go for the Polar Exp II.

If money were no object, by all means I would go for the white Daytona. No question about it.

Good luck to you!

mb hawaii · 27 August 2009, 09:48 AM

Daytona!

kcmo · 27 August 2009, 10:54 AM

Well, you already know my answer, G......DAYTONA baby!!!!!

Add the Expy later......you KNOW you're not done filling that watch box yet!

2th Dr · 27 August 2009, 11:05 AM

Good answer Karis. I agree.

viper · 27 August 2009, 11:07 AM

Get the explorer. It sounds like you want it more.

forza1976 · 27 August 2009, 11:10 AM

Daytona all the way :)

A little tease... :)

AIKO · 27 August 2009, 11:17 AM

Regardless of price, get the EXP II. I just love that watch much more than the Daytona.

Neither... Save the money up and buy something even more expensive!

bradiowausa · 27 August 2009, 03:54 PM

Daytona for sure.

sushisummo · 27 August 2009, 05:12 PM

Buy both.........problem solved..........LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Singslinger · 27 August 2009, 06:58 PM

I'm assuming you've never owned a Daytona, in which case that would be the watch to buy.

I say this because you've owned the white Exp 2 three times already and although you say you love it, maybe it's time for a change of wrist scenery.

Art 1 · 27 August 2009, 07:37 PM

In my case it would be the Explorer 2 since I don't have one and do have the daytona. If I did not own an Daytona and had the money that would be the watch I would purchase.

Gaijin · 27 August 2009, 08:54 PM

No brainer if price is not a consideration. Daytona. Either dial color.

Gerardo, are you getting the Daytona in the US, or here in Mexico? If the US, go for it.

As you already know, that Daytona is like $$ in the bank down here in Mexico (although I don't trust the banks here). Somebody came into the local AD here last year (EMWA, before they closed), wanting to sell two Daytona's, one a P serial, the other a K serial. The AD offered the seller $18,000 for the pair (one black, one white dial). The seller turned them down, as he wanted at least $20K for the pair.

Get the daytona...you know you want it!

GerardoG · 28 August 2009, 02:27 AM

Hello Martin. US. I have built a relationship with my AD, service and prices beat even Caribbean duty free.

sexner · 28 August 2009, 02:58 AM

Get yourself another Explorer II, Gerardo.

I love and use regularly the dual time-zone feature.

And I don't have a need to track the elapsed time of my bananas going black on the counter - so would be a waste for me to own a Daytona.

It appears as though you have a love of the Explorer.

onefatchowchow · 28 August 2009, 04:00 AM

Daytona, Baby!
