New Explorer II Polar (226570)

First time poster. Today I was fortunate enough to get my new Polar Explorer II which is to commemorate my upcoming 50th birthday in January. I couldn't be happier.

That's my next one. Bought a Batman today, so I need to wait a bit, maybe next weekend.

Great 50th birthday gift. I know someone else that did just that. This reference commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II.

That's right. I forgot about that. That makes it that much more special.

Welcome to the 50 club!!

Haven't seen many EXP II incomings lately so really pumped you get this reference.

Wear it as a reminder to never stop Exploring life, no matter how old. Wear it in the best of health for years to come.
