The white dial TOG is really calling towards me more and more, should I flip my Exp2 for it ?

I really love the Exp2 but the white dial TOG is something different.

What should be the market price for a used 116264, I don't care about papers or boxes. Service is also not an issue.
As long the case, bracelet and bezel are dent free it's OK, they will be restored back to new in a service.

Thanks

Jack

Have you tried the TOG on your wrist? Make sure it you are happy while wearing it before you pull the trigger. The EXP II is a great looking watch.

JUSTROLEXES · 7 April 2010, 12:16 AM

I like the TOG better but that is me... I love the red in it and the gold bezel... just make sure you try one on first since it is a little smaller then the Exp... the price should be in the high 3zz low 4zz

Cru Jones · 7 April 2010, 12:24 AM

the TOG is a nice watch, for sure, but i could never give up my polar explorer for it....i like the GMT function too much, and the size of the Exp2 is just right for me.

also doesn't help that i'm not a fan of gold on watches, but, since you're considering the trade, that's not an issue for you.

i could more readily see a DJ owner switching to a TOG to have a more sporty watch without going all the way to an explorer or sub, but that's just me.

Hang on to your Exp2. It's a great watch.

DRAWTOOL · 7 April 2010, 01:02 AM

If you flip your EXP-II, you'll be sorry.

If you save your pennies and buy the TOG, you'll be happy.

jets · 7 April 2010, 01:19 AM

I'd say save for the TOG. At least try one on first and see if you like it as much as you think ;)

sakuraba · 7 April 2010, 01:22 AM

I agree with Mikey and Mario. Save for the TOG and keep the Explorer!

GradyPhilpott · 7 April 2010, 01:24 AM

Keep the Explorer and buy the TOG outright.

Alsey · 7 April 2010, 02:48 AM

I had one a few yrs ago, and the way the light hit the hour batons just didn't look right. Just reminded me of a Seiko 5 dial, so sold it a wk later.

As many have said go see one in the flesh and try it on.

I've seen many ploar exp 2's and personally I prefer it over the TOG.

Nairn1980 · 7 April 2010, 02:51 AM

Why not....as long as you get a reasonable price for your Explorer 2.

Exp 2 are really easy to get so whats the worst that could happen? you have to buy another....

You live once.....i make decisions in a day and don't often regret them!
Just go for it :)

Rolex Freak · 7 April 2010, 02:54 AM

If you need the money...NO don't flip. Save up and keep it. Otherwise every time you see the EXP II you'll be kicking yourself for doing it. Speaking from experience. It feels much better saving for the next one, than flipping to make the purchase. IMHO.

Good luck.

Gerardus · 7 April 2010, 02:55 AM

Keep the EX2.

JJG · 7 April 2010, 02:55 AM

Your Exp II already is showing a nice patina on the tritium. You may be sorry about four months after flipping it. The forums are rife with stories of flippers' regret.

Jackxv · 7 April 2010, 05:49 AM

I really like the Exp2 and the discoloration of the markers, the dial is off white too but only noticeble when kept next to a piece of a4 paper.

I think there will come a white TOG in time.
It will be on Jubilee

Thanks for your opinions

Jack

vitix · 7 April 2010, 06:11 AM

thats depends, do you give a use of the GMT hand? if you dont... flip it!!

JackR · 7 April 2010, 06:17 AM

Keep the exp unless you go 2t on the tog

BASSETHOUNDS · 7 April 2010, 07:01 AM

I wouldn't do that Jack , I believe the EXP2 's movement is way superior .

robsteve · 7 April 2010, 09:41 AM

Buy the Turn-O-Graph, flip the Explorer

It would look stunning on a Jubilee, but will of course increase the price you pay for it.

Hewes · 7 April 2010, 10:40 AM

I think I'm diggen that T-graph , trade it!

superb · 7 April 2010, 11:49 AM

I say you shouldn't flip it but buy the TOG outright if you can.

Keep the Explorer
