do you prefer the 40mm or 42mm? I really prefer the 42mm, before i thought it was ''to large'' for my 6.5 inch wrist but it fits me perfect, like a glove. Not much larger than my SUBC.

Now that’s a beauty with the white gold hands and lume plots.

They should have left the polar explorer that way rather than paint the hands etc black IMO.

I love the look of the black hands, but as you probably mentioned in a recent of my posts i don't really like the finnish of them LOL..

Love both of them. Had an opportunity to get the polar a few weeks back. Pretty sure it’ll be my next purchase.

I noticed the newer Polar shown by Dave seem like following the trend of 16570 Polar. Rolex reduce the black border towards the end of the production for previous Polar.

It’s a fantastic watch, and unbelievably for Rolex, not bad value
It’s very thin and wearable but provides a ton of functionality in a subtle but svelt and beautiful package even on my small wrist!
You just can’t go wrong whichever way you look at it
