Polar Incoming

I was originally told 4-8 months and got the call in less than 3 weeks. Picked it up earlier this morning, even received a Rolex hat with purchase.

I think the hat is more rare than this watch. Damn, dropped $20k in the last 4 months and I was not offered anything. Now, I want the hat!

Nice watch, you'll love it.

Congratulations!

I remember seeing them in every GQ magazine when they came out. I think they were the first watches that put Rolex on my radar. That orange GMT hand is as fresh as it comes.

I don’t know why people say it’s a dog. I think it’s possibly the best sport model in the current lineup. I love the big orange hand and the white dial is killer!! Congratulations.
