Skiing with my Explorer II

As the title suggests, I was in France last week skiing in the three valleys. Needless to say, the Exp II was in it's element. Perfect on the slopes, and versatile enough to be dressed up for an evening dinner. Here are some shots.

A tiny bubble of water landed on the cyclops, I noticed this when I uploaded the images to the computer - looks quite cool me thinks, even if it was a complete coincidence.

Fantastic pics!
I've always looked at the white 216570 as the perfect outdoorsman adventure watch. Been thinking about that one a lot lately.

Put the Polar 'inside', and every time you look at it you will be thinking of nothing but what's 'outside' and THESE types of pictures. Well done, sir.
Great shots, thanks

Nice, I am skiing Squaw Valley USA tomorrow. We just got pounded with 6 feet of snow in this last storm.

I know the EXII is technically designed for cave exploration, but that polar dial EXII has to be the perfect alpine watch.

Looks great with the snow as a background. I am envious. I am usually training pretty serious by now for my yearly late March trip to Whistler BC. Unfortunately a mild heart attack and and subsequent stent in early December set me back. Make no mistake I will be out on the slopes next year.

I'm with you in spirit brother. Enjoy your time and be safe.

Awesome!! And really great pics. I did the same thing with mine recently, although my pics aren’t nearly as good as yours.
