Icon20 Incoming!!!!!

Hey there guys!

After much debate, I finally acquired a new piece to complement my Sub-c - A Polar Explorer 42!!

I just got it home and I'm already loving it!
It has a very retro cool vibe to it while still being masculine and bad ass. Those who own this model know what I mean!
Without any further ado... sorry for the pics... I don't have a proper camera at the moment and crappy macbook pics are all i could muster!

Excellent choice. Your Explorer II is beautiful

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the 42mm Polar Explorer II for the past month now. As we all know, there is only one cure...
