Congrats! I agree about the Apple Watch. While useful, it does not look good in a suit or dress. Though it certainly doesn’t stop some.

Thank you all for your kind words. I must admit, I am newly fascinated by horology. I am unsure why I missed this boat for so long. I am 38 y/o and besides having a bunch of “fashion brand” watches growing up, I’ve never paid any attention to this hobby. Love it.

Congratulations. One of my favorite Rolex watches and one you do not see everywhere. The Polar lead me to buy the black dial Explorer II and it gets as much wear as the Polar.
Enjoy.

Congratulations! Great first Rolex

The Exp2 is actually a one-and-done piece, it's that good.

A year?! That’s too long for this piece! Perhaps because you’re in a major city and many people have requested it too. I hope you get it soon.

Ughh! I've always had a love affair with the 42mm Polar, but I think it'll be too big for my 7" wrist. Looks great on you. Congrats!

Appreciate that. My wrist is not very big even though I’m 6ft 230lbs. I think it’s 7.25, might look ok on your wrist.

I have the same watch, got it in December, 2014. Don't wear it as much as my Sub, but I am wearing it today!

Enjoy it for many years!

I picked up my copy of this just a few days ago. No prior buyer’s history but I waited two years. So far I’m enjoying it very much. I think it’s one of the most striking.
Congratulations!
Enjoy!
