UUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! Posts like this KILL ME!!
Want the Polar 216570, want it for the Orange hand and "Explorer II". I want that, because I want to put an Everest band (orange) on it, and that will make it my casual wear. Everest doesn't have a band to fit the new EX2 yet (they said they are working on it, but....). As a Backer for Everest, I have the black, orange, and green (Orange and green not yet arrived). Last night I was SOOOOOO close to buying the 16570, but couldn't get the right deal on it since I was settling... I'm not going to just order the 216570 unless i know Everest comes out with their Orange band.... SO TOUGH!!!!!!!! This is killing me!!! |

Culley, All I can tell you is all my 20mm straps fit it peferctly. I don't know Everest straps well but everything I buy for this one is 20mm and they fit with no big gaps at either end.

I have the Black Everest in 20mm in my posession. When holding it up on my DJ2 (also 21mm at the lugs) it is..smaller, say by...1mm. I'd hate to get the 216570 and the band...is just too small. And I'll go by their measurements (both Rolex AND Everest). No offense, but it is different... |

Not sure if I signed in on this thread....still new to me!
Almost went polar but the black just sang to me a little sweeter. They both rock. |

I am new to the forum and close to pulling the trigger on my first rolex. Im leaning toward the 42mm polar exp II but its so hard to chose between that or the subC. It will be my first and only (for a while atleast). The pics of the polar exp II are awesome!!! Can wear with suit but fits right in with a t shirt and jeans.
