My kinda Sunday (update on Polar after two weeks)

What a handsome, young-looking watch. It looks so fresh, it's perfect for sunny days as well.

This was not love at first sight. After two weeks, it's all I wear. I got a new Bluesy, a PM and a SS SubC, and they've gotten almost 0 wrist time since two weeks.

I must admit I am in love with the Polar.

Here I am matching it with a Dunkin' Donuts (orange!) breakfast Sunday.

Have a great Sunday!

I love that watch. I wish they brought it back in 40mm though.

Nice! What wrist size circumference and span do you have? I’ve been eyeballing getting one, but not sure if my wrist can handle 42mm.

Glad you're enjoying it! Wore my 16570 polar for 10 days while vacationing in Mexico recently. It's a great watch for the beach IMO!

I noticed DSW sold one for 14,800 last week. People slept on the polar dial and now they may be sorry. It is good to have a fresh one on ice in the safe!

Got my ExpII couple of week ago after waiting expressing my interest at the AD 1.5 years ago. Totally love it! Pictures never do this model justice. Probably only the owners know how amazing this model is.

Very comfortable, you hardly notice its 42mm, fantastic legibility. One of the last true tool watches in the Rolex catalogue. So glad I was able to get one, probably the last the AD received.

Picked up one in October and hasn’t left my wrist. My hulk and BLNR sit alone at home.

It’s a fun watch to wear and very masculine. Very understated too.

Oh -- crazy stuff. They got a black one at almost 14k now too. They may be smelling that Rolex will discontinue it!

Haven't really taken a look... I dropped it on the floor from a table... so I will soon buy a tester to see how the movement is really doing... How old is yours?

Have never really measured it... but it's on the smaller part of the range for sure! I would not think about it and go ahead if you can get it at MSRP.


Thank you all guys!!

Polar looks great- wish I had grabbed one to match my black face when the prices were sane.

Had a Polar 16570 years ago. These white dials are beautiful.

Wow what a perfect way to spend your Sunday! I agree with you that watch is perfect for sunny days, I can not wait to wear mine this Summer, but first I have to buy it. I do not think I can wait much longer as these are just appearing in my life more and more!
