Explorer II 42 polar has arrived!

After visits to many ADs and placing my name on several waiting lists, I grew impatient and finally decided to pull the trigger from one of our trusted sellers here. It arrived today. Thanks Tony G!

I was a little apprehensive about buying without trying it on first, but I gotta say, it has lived up to my expectations so far. Fits well on my 7.25" wrist and I prefer the look over the 16570 that I previously owned. Here's a wrist shot... you can be the judge. Those of you considering the polar 42, proceed with my enthusiastic endorsement!

The black dial is great also, but I already have a GMTIIc and a few other black dial watches. This one mixes it up nicely!
