Seems Prince Harry is still high on the Explorer II
Was at the local pub near closing time watching some of the Olympics; of course, WIS dude that I am, couldn't resist trying to spot some watches here and there.... At one point, the camera panned over to catch members of the Royal Family rooting on their men's gynmastic team.

Wouldn't you know it? Nice clear shot of Prince Harry wearing his Polar 216570!


If I don't say so myself, the watch looked absolutely awesome in those bright lights.

It's a great choice for him. Neither of the heirs wear anything too flashy. They are both involved in the military so its fitting. I love the polar explorer ii, something about that orange hand.

Here in Australia rooting has a different meaning. Just about spat my cuppa tea out when I read that.

Too funny

I have to say that the black dial would suit his fair skin tone better

Harry - are you on the forum, mate? If so, wrist shots please

Wow, great shot! I was watching last night and saw them in the stands, but missed the close shot of the watches. Nice catch.
