I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I respect those here on TRF...the question is would you trade the PO for the Explorer II???

A.J.R. · 27 September 2011, 08:08 AM

I dont like the Orange Bezel on the PO so probably yes.

spuds · 27 September 2011, 08:12 AM

Seeing as you already have a DSSD & a 44mm Breitling personally I think you'd miss the 'heft' of the PO if you went for the lighter 16570.

Then again if you WANT something smaller & lighter I'd jump at the 'classic' Explorer II.

Mosco · 27 September 2011, 08:13 AM

Nope.

T-Rip · 27 September 2011, 08:16 AM

long term value I would Imagine the 16570 would hold a better?

smallcandle · 27 September 2011, 08:17 AM

Never been a fan of the orange bezel, so I would do the trade.

Nope

mboverst · 27 September 2011, 09:13 AM

I'd keep the PO without hesitation.

matt4hand · 27 September 2011, 09:51 AM

I would trade in a second

GradyPhilpott · 27 September 2011, 09:52 AM

I would.

DCgator · 27 September 2011, 09:55 AM

No. Keep the PO unless you really just want to own a EXPII. In that case buy a used EXPII. My 2c.

Welshwatchman · 27 September 2011, 10:23 AM

I'm not in love with either so I'd go with the one with the best re-sale.

masterserg · 27 September 2011, 10:25 AM

Yup. No doubt. But then I am biased. I have an Exp II just like that one :) or maybe save the PO for a later trade with the Exp II 42mm? (I believe that's a doubt).

seand442 · 27 September 2011, 11:59 AM

Not a fan of the orange. Plus, I like the Exp II so I'm going with that one.

hdrazor251 · 27 September 2011, 12:03 PM

Yip but the Exp II is my grail.

Art 1 · 27 September 2011, 12:06 PM

Quickly, before the other guy comes to his senses.

gmh1013 · 27 September 2011, 12:11 PM

I dont care for black face EXP 2 but a Polar I might....I really like the P.O.'s

toph · 27 September 2011, 12:18 PM

tough one, but probably not. is it a straight trade? if so yes as i can get a PO fro $2200-$2500 and EXP II $3500- $4000. Then you know what i would do

Agree.

MortgageGuy · 27 September 2011, 12:57 PM

I like the orange on the PO so for me I would not make that trade

redwolfoz · 27 September 2011, 01:10 PM

If it was the new orange hand Explorer II, I'd trade in a heartbeat.

I'm mad keen on orange watches, but I was really underwhelmed with the orange on the Omega when I finally got to see it in person. It was badly done. Either that or they'd so tweaked the colours by Photoshopping their artwork that the reality left me disappointed.

SWIMPRUF · 27 September 2011, 01:29 PM

No.

...If it's the 42 then yes.

gwalker · 27 September 2011, 01:43 PM

Don't like the Explorer so no way....

skyedog · 27 September 2011, 02:02 PM

nope

sea-dweller · 27 September 2011, 02:06 PM

Yep!

Dr. Robert · 27 September 2011, 03:30 PM
