Same thoughts here, you either like it and buy it, if I have to convince you, well maybe you are looking to buy the wrong watch. Most people know what they want when they see it and feel it. I suggest a visit to your local AD and try it out.

I love mine

I will have to get a night shot. The way the light reflexes off the bezel at night is something to behold.

You can't go wrong with a polar exp IMHO.

You got it!

Btw, is it an easy fix to change from white to black? Would be nice to have both the set ups! I can't really decide which color I like the most...(such a huge problem) ;)

Well you need a new set of hands and a new dial. I was quoted 4000 SEK for this from an AD. Unless you know what you are doing you should let an AD install it.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking for a used Explorer II, but am quite unsure which serial number to go for. Any thoughts? I like the newer ones with the serial number engraved under the bezel...

I'm not really into serial numbers, but if you get an Exp2 with engraved rehaut you will most likely get the updated 3186 movement. However some of the last 16570 had a smaller amount of white gold surrounding the plots on the dial which I found less attractive.

If I were to buy one i would try to find one with thick black hour markers,my G serial got thinner than the older ones(don`t know when they changed it..) - still love mine!

Why you want to buy one is because I have a brand new, unworn 2010 V serial black dial 16570 for sale - as new and in box ;-)
