    My quest for a GMT watch is over! Thank you to all whom contributed on my other thread.

    After much research and deliberation, I finally pulled the trigger on a mint Rolex Exp II (polar), Z serial.

    It was the watch that sang to me from the beginning, with the 'Great White' a close second. I looked at Omega, Hamilton, Sinn, Rolex, even JLC, but I kept coming back to this.

    The pics...

    I think I have a nice little collection now!

    I love the 16570 Polar! Congrats.
    Hmmm, I did end up selling mine... why did I do that?

    Best of luck! I'm loving it so far (although can't get a great fit on the bracelet) and I think it's a great compliment to my burgeoning collection!

    Heh, I sold it to take the sting off buying the Silver Snoopy, figured I didn't really need two white dial watches. I was younger and dumber then ::screwloose::

    Great watch, the Polar Express. And it does work well with the rest of your collection.

    Enjoy!!

    The Icy Cool Polar white dial shows incredible depth & clarity Sir. It's my favourite white dial & I wish to own the RE II 5 or 6 digit reference some day....

    Why thank you. It pulled me in the moment I saw it. I wanted to ensure I wasn't blinded by the light and looked at other watches, but the force is strong in this one!

    Thanks! It was my grandfathers and I will always cherish it. From around 1976 or so I believe.

    I like watches with white dials even though I don't own one myself. But who knows....this forum is full of temptations...
    Wear it in good health.
