Congrats I have the white as I find the dial much more legible but I do absolutely love the black dial

It's clear what your favorite reference is. Congrats!
I've owned both and still can't give a definitive answer as to which I prefer.

Congrats on a great pair! I have the black dial and can see why you'd want the Polar as well!

My guess is, the 24 hour hand on the new one, gives a nod to the original Steve McQueen model....versus the white version not available at that time
But who knows....

AHHHH that make sense to me

I think the twins explain why he likes pairs. He has bought two of everything since they were born.

I'll see what I can do....
I was considering trading both of these older watches and buying my daughters new ones.
The AD offered a hefty trade for the pair, yet told me NOT to get rid of them.
I ran the whole story by my daughters and they both only wanted my exact watches.....so that's the way we went.
