Both have 3186 to my understanding

Gotta have the bezel.

I have the 40mm Explorer II polar and recently bought the GMT Master IIc LN. They have similar functionality, however they look and wear different. The polar wears smaller and more under the radar kind of watch. Due to the bezel, it looks for stainless steel tool watch and to me it looks less like a Rolex.

The GMT is like your typical Rolex like a Subc. It is more shiny with PCL bracelet.

jcclx1 · 7 July 2018, 02:40 PM

I've had both, prefer GMT, but Polar Exp II is a great watch.

jamesbondOO7 · 12 November 2018, 12:04 AM

I have both and need both.

mistercoach32 · 12 November 2018, 12:12 AM

I looked hard at getting a Polar, but it’s the GMT II for me by a long stretch.

I own both and like the Polar Exp II better .

Saaci · 12 November 2018, 07:51 AM

The ExpII is impressively thin for a sports model. You can explore anything, even the inside of a suit. Plus the white dial with the black lacquer paint is spectacular and unique to the professional models.

Jerz616 · 12 November 2018, 08:08 AM

I have both and love both. When I got my GMT I abandoned my polar for a couple weeks. When I put my polar back on I realized how awesome of a watch it is. The GMT almost feels a little small but looks so good. The both have their purpose.

I’m smitten with them all.

But my first true love remains the Exp 2.

Wow that’s really saying a lot Seth

I’ve been jonesing for an EXP 2 lately, but I can’t quite decide if it’s only because I haven’t gotten the call for the blro

Rolex.c6 · 12 November 2018, 08:47 AM

GMT. It just looks better, at least that's my taste. Both watches have their own followers. But for me, I just like the colours and the bezel more on the GMT.

Bosbevok · 12 November 2018, 08:52 AM

I went with the GMT LN as I love the look and feel of it, and this version.

I posted awhile ago on this thread how l loved my Polar as my one and only Gmt. My AD called me about three weeks ago to come and take a look at an available Blnr. Well you see how that worked out.

Sorry for the confusion I meant this Exp II with Z Series

I will eventually get the explorer ii, but would never trade it for my blnr.

Doesn't surprise me at all. The most comfortable watch I've ever worn!!!

Rilz · 12 November 2018, 11:53 AM

I love both of them i own a GMT II which makes my choice easier.

Agreed, that how I went about it.

uansari1 · 12 November 2018, 11:07 PM

As you can see from my signature, I have a polar ExpII and recently acquired a GMTIIc LN. Both have the same 3186 in my case, but aside from the movement they are entirely different watches.

jenson · 13 November 2018, 07:38 AM

I really have no personal reason i just prefer the GMT over Exp.

blue lion · 13 November 2018, 08:20 AM

GMT here also but I like my Sub better than the GMT

Jonesy2099 · 13 November 2018, 08:25 AM

Both are great watches. I prefer the GMT due to the bezel, the PCLs for extra bling and I like the history of the GMT II.

Watchfiend12 · 12 December 2018, 09:28 AM

Couldn’t choose so bought both. BLNR and 16570. Each have their purpose and totally different.
