Wow! That was fast
My local AD has repeatedly told me their “expression of interest” for Stainless Steel Submariners and GMT Master models are suspended, and have been for at least three years.
Two weeks ago I enquired about an Explorer II Polar Dial. I was surprised when they said they could get one “sometime this year” and “when would you like to receive it?” This afternoon they messaged to say they’ve one arriving next week, would I like to come view it and possibly purchase? Less than three weeks wait time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Jump on it and be happy! The polar is a great rugged watch. More rare than you think and not many made or seen in the wild.

Good for you, nice pickup!
A friend of mine asked our local AD about availability and they told him not high demand but that they get less of them than other sports models. |

It's a gorgeous watch with the same functionality as the GMT II without a rotating bezel. Congratulations!

Congrats man. That’s awesome. Honestly the Explorer 2 is just as good as gmt and submariners, if not better, it just doesn’t get the same hype and publicity.

Great. Thanks for sharing. You'll love it. The good news is you are now one step closer to, or actually on the real list for your SS Sub or GMTs. Well done. Enjoy

Beautiful encounter, looking forward to your photo with the watch! This model is really practical, it is not for nothing that they have become a Rolex symbol.

This rings true in my experience with WOS for some time
I'm sure one would arrive quickly, if I became a VIP spender The Submariner is probably the first watch, customers ask for They sell what Rolex decides to give them at the end of the day |
