Incoming Polar EXP2 216570, Excited!

Sealed the deal via email late last night with DavidSW. Would do business again. First real time piece, sold my late father’s Harley since he passed this February. He wanted to see me finish my MBA this December and regretted not being able to help me with it or do something to celebrate it so it’s my way of fulfilling his wishes. I just had commencement for my BBA I finished last July since I crammed an extra class in late so I pulled the trigger early to beat out inter-state taxation for online transactions. Sorry no pics unless someone wants to see tracking updates.

Thanks for everyone’s advice and well wishes in prior posts asking novice questions. Pics to follow tomorrow afternoon.

Got mine back in March and don’t take it off. I love that it’s different than all the others I see in the wild. You will love it.

O one more thing (I'm excited for you) the cyclops on the Polar is not so much in your face like a black dial, it's very subtle and blends in so well on the white dial it's almost un-noticeable until you need it

I almost got one last week but I went with the Navitimer instead.

When I tried the Polar on my wrist, I don't know... The love simply didn't happen between "us" !

Funny thing is: In my opinion, it's a gorgeous watch on other people's wrists !!! Congrats !
