Uh no. Just because you can does not mean you should. That explorer is a very versatile watch and has a date function. It’s one of the 5 digit classics that emphasized function over form and is understated. The milgauss is not a particularly attractive watch, and it’s not that anti-magnetic compared to what omega puts out. I mean it’s your life, but I would suggest sitting a while and considering it. The issue is because of the value of these things one can always trade them in, or towards another watch creating an endless array of possibilities, if you want that watch after thinking on it a while go ahead, but make sure you’re not just chasing the dopamine hit that comes with a new watch.

No Way, trades rarely make sense. If you want to do, then sell the polar on your own and then buy the milly. That's the financial way to do it

As much as I love the white dial Milgauss, I would keep the Polar.

Unless you found the Polar to wear too small for your taste, then go Milgauss.

I found Milgauss to be a perfect daily driver.

I owned the Z-Blue Milgauss for about a year. It was the most uncomfortable watch I've owned. For me the Polar is far superior from a comfort perspective.

Keep the polar and buy a black dial Milgauss GV. The green crystal is what makes the Milgauss in my opinion and the black dial Milgauss would be great contrast to your polar explorer.

NO! Milgauss is boring compared to your Polar.

Ha. I hate the green sapphire. I don't want a non-green sapphire black dial Milgauss because I already have the Airking, its too similar.

This thread has been helpful for me to crystalize my thoughts. I'm going to keep the polar. Thanks all!
