Hello all,

Am looking for a second opinion as to what to do
I have decided to sell my Exp 2 216570 Polar and put up some funds for a GMT BLNR or an omega speedmaster dark side of the moon. Any opinions?
Thanks!

my opinion is that they are both great watches, if I could only have one would be the GMT

GMT vs Chrono
Metal vs strap
Rolex vs Omega

Brandon(phila) · 12 February 2015, 07:24 AM

What else is in you collection?

If I could have 1 watch only

GMT is more versatile...work or play.

Speedy is a very cool watch, but to me black watches are "Sports" only...just my opinion

I traded my dark side for the BLNR, so I guess you know where I stand

You have a stunning Omega, my fav, so go for the Rolex.

1st amg · 12 February 2015, 08:18 AM

BLNR gets my vote, I think the DSOD is over priced for what it is.

osamu · 12 February 2015, 08:41 AM

I'll say the DSOM, you have a watch with blue in the skyfall, and a rolex sports model. A ceramic chrono with red accents I think adds a lot to that collection.

I understand if you go with the BLNR too. By itself, I think I'd choose the BLNR too.

AS1 · 12 February 2015, 08:43 AM

Unlikely to get a lot of votes for the Omega over the Rolex on this forum!

subtona · 12 February 2015, 08:56 AM

i would keep the explorer II

3 time zones… what are you going to do with 3 time zones?

mattmcmhn · 12 February 2015, 09:08 AM

If you're set on trading the 216570 (which, I wouldn't haha) I would do it for the BLNR. Mostly just because I'm not a big fan of the new 9300 Speedmasters, I like the classic more.

domrusso10 · 12 February 2015, 09:13 AM

You're in the wrong place if you want an honest opinion about rolex vs omega lol

Agree. I prefer the 42mm polar over the BLNR due to it's larger size, brushed bracelet, legibility, and clean crisp white dial with orange hand and black text. IMO, the ExpII looks better. I'm not into the all black watches and also think the DSOM is overpriced, so I vote keep the ExpII 42mm. Good luck with your decision.

locutus49 · 12 February 2015, 09:19 AM

I'd keep the explorer and buy the GMT separately.

CabbageHead · 12 February 2015, 09:46 AM

Good bye polar explorer, hello BLNR!

toneafficianado · 12 February 2015, 10:01 AM

ExplorerII! You will miss it if you sell. I say keep it and sell whatever it takes to get the BLNR as well. It'll be " all there in black n white" then!!

Urosfan · 12 February 2015, 10:57 AM

I would keep polar and add gmt

mjclark32 · 12 February 2015, 11:00 AM

BLNR for me

Wllnv19 · 12 February 2015, 11:09 AM

I had a similar dilemma..deciding between the DSOM and the BLNR...went with the BLNR, still love the DSOM..but I flip watches a lot and felt the BLNR would have a better resale value, plus it's a beautiful watch!

Keep the polar Explorer 2 with the white dial then add the BLNR.

brandrea · 12 February 2015, 11:20 AM

The BLNR gets my vote

With what you have the GMT would be great. I don't have an omega, but if I did the dark side is what it would be.

dchernikoff · 12 February 2015, 11:30 AM

If you do any travel or deal with people in other timezones, the GMT is more practical. And in my opinion is a more classic look.

But they're both very nice!
