Toasting the (old) 216570

Here is a toast to my now old 216570 EXP2 Polar, I now look at it like the perfect watch that survived a 50th anniversary without any major changes. Sort of like the Dolphins perfect season, I will wear it and toast champagne each year when Rolex releases new models..

It’s so funny to see the pre release speculation and then the actual release. I was freaked out they had discontinued the JM Daytona after waiting years for one. Feeling a little better now and I really love the new Daytona Meteorite dial.

Cheers and hooray! Why change or fix if aint broke? Those who are disappointed are merely after for the profit (majority)

Rolex can discontinue the hell out of it (or not) at their discretion.

My Polar is loved and ain't going nowhere.

EXPII prices on Chrono24 are still very high. I noted one black dial advertised as "discontinued model".
