The Explorer II Polar really is a piece that needs to be seen in person. The contrast of the stark white dial, the matte black hands and indices is so unique. Add in the orange 24 - hour hand and text, and the blue lume. It might be the most underrated watch in the catalog.
You got very lucky on this purchase - congrats! There are many variables to accessing a purchase, most of the time obtaining a Polar is very difficult.

Congratulations! It is a superb watch that garners much attention. Could be good or bad. But it is my daily and I love it.

I guess it depends if the lume is charged or not. If the lume is at all charged, which it usually is, the plots will have at least a blue hue to them.

Just got a back from a walk at dusk. No issue with visibility and even had a slight hint of lume. I would equate the lume to using a dimmer switch. It had just a little bit shining. I’ve attached a picture but it’s low quality to meet the upload standards.

It seems that I have been seeing quite a few 226570 incomings. Mostly white dials. There is one I haven't noticed yet though.
Mine!!! Ugh. 6 months and waiting. Congrats OP!! What an amazing watch! |

I just got on the list myself. I really don't want to wait 2 years. Grey market might be my only way...

Just took my Explorer II swimming in Barcelona with a view of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família!

I love the Exp2 Polar. Always reminds me of the very fond feelings I had as a kid enjoying orange whips and orange creamsicles. Congratulations!

Heck, maybe it's just perception, but it seems I've seen a lot of these incoming lately.
It makes me excited because I just hit my three month mark of waiting at an AD with a previous purchases. Hopefully soon. Congrats OP! It looks smashing on your wrist. |

Completely agree! I always liked it but once I bought it and wore it for a couple days it was a different feeling and appreciation! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
