I posted a few weeks ago that I was missing my 16570 and bought this one. It is the most balanced watch on my wrist. It probably is because it is 5 digit and just the right weight, size and purpose - just perfect. I think it is time for me to start adding more 5 digit references to my collection.

It does look perfect!

AJM914 · 17 May 2019, 11:42 AM

Nice!

Chester01 · 17 May 2019, 11:48 AM

No doubt 5 digit is the way to go, until they get rid of the giant lugs.

thicker lugs means more steelinox. worth the money paid.

Lol, I have considered that I may be more likely to have my watches refinished every 4-5 years with the newer thicker lugs as there would be no danger of them getting to thin!

Love it !
Very underrated. 2nd time zone & stealth Rolex.
But surprise surprise ......
Prices are going up after years & years.
Next Rolex cult watch ?

Don’t know why Rolex replaced the 40mm Explorer II with a 42mm case. A move in the wrong direction in my opinion.

Totally agree. The new E2 is like a manacle - like most 42 mm watches. Rolex succumbed to a design fad.

ancientmariner · 19 May 2019, 12:51 AM

OP, agree 16570 is super comfortable.
Congrats and enjoy

Because the 40mm was so unpopular for so long ...

42 is a nice watch as well but the 40 is for me

ppalasthira · 17 May 2019, 12:26 PM

Congrats. That is a nice piece.

Beautiful!!!
I agree 5 digit only for me.

Sublovin · 19 May 2019, 01:57 AM

It is a great watch and one that I plan to keep

sunnygps · 19 May 2019, 02:44 AM

Now I am thinking of getting a black dial one also. It will be a great combo to have. Prices on these are getting ridiculously expensive.

I love my black dial 16570. Great under the radar piece.

Chloe&Harley · 19 May 2019, 03:13 AM

Great pictures

ranxoren · 19 May 2019, 03:21 AM

Yeah absolutely love mine! The only thing I had to change about it was putting a 214270 bracelet on. I love the feel and clasp of the modern bracelets and it takes it to a whole other level (for me).

Since then I also removed the cyclops and now wear it on a Super Jubilee lol

I didn't know you could put a modern bracelet on a 16570. So the 214270 bracelet fits?

I have mine on the SubC glidelock bracelet. However, it is not a perfect fit as seen in the picture below. I don’t think it will scratch the case or anything, but not a perfect fit. It could also be due to the holes case.

How is the 214270 bracelet fit on the 16570?

Todd Turbo S · 19 May 2019, 03:36 AM

I completely agree. I love my five digits (Daytona and same watch you just purchased).

Nice picture

zimv20ca · 19 May 2019, 03:37 AM

i love my 16570. my first rolex.

Gerardus · 19 May 2019, 03:55 AM

Super!

dc5leland · 19 May 2019, 04:49 AM

the polar is a unique piece. white dial is not something that you see every day. ��

yihyoon · 19 May 2019, 06:50 AM

Just got a polar 16570 with 3186 movement from Japan, one of my favorite Rolex and the size is perfect. It's also one of the few rolex that I consider switching strap

sensui · 19 May 2019, 02:46 PM

That's the polar Explorer II to have for sure.

Recaro18 · 19 May 2019, 02:51 PM

5 Digits are the best!!

ILuvSubs · 23 May 2019, 04:37 PM

One of the most underrated references out there IMHO. Congrats on the pick up!

Pict · 23 May 2019, 04:41 PM

I'm a huge fan of the 16570 and that looks very nice, congrats.
