·Certainly beautiful, but I’d have had a hard time giving up the Exp II.
Incoming traded Rolex + Omega for a Rolex

Yeah, it wasn't easy, but it would be a lot easier to replace the Explorer II than find another Hulk in a trade that I could afford.
In the past couple of years I've sold a 1991 Polar Exp II, a 2005 Polar Exp II, and a 2008 black Exp II with 3186, and now this one. I saved selling the black one for last, thinking that I would never part with this 42mm Polar Exp II. But like I said, I can get another Explorer II anytime since they're not scarce yet, and my 4yr extended warranty was up in 5 months. Now I have another 5 years of warranty on the new Hulk.

·I gave up this (never peeled the stickers off)...
And this, with a little cash and the extra bracelet...
For this NIB, incoming today...
But, how is it better than this, my Omega Ti Planet Ocean 8500?
Only time will tell...
I bought my first Hulk 3 years ago and passed it on after 3 weeks, because I wanted a Grey Side of the Moon more. I've occasionally thought about replacing it though. I really didn't wear my SMPc much, which feels a little thin and insubstantial on my wrist vs my Planet Oceans. And the 5 digit Rolex watches also tend to wear small on my wrists. Over the past year I've sold off a 40mm Polar Exp II and black Exp II, a TT Blue Sub, and a GMT II Coke, but I still have my 6 digit GMT II BLNR.
I really admired the 42mm Polar Explorer II, but the SS bezel sometimes made the white dial feel huge (and the 40mm Polar wore too small on me). I also didn't really wear the Explorer II as I kept it immaculate as a safe queen in stickers. Dumb.
Failing to find a decent trade of my SMPc and Tudor BBR for a SubC No Date, I went for this Hulk deal. I came out a little on the short side of the trade, after all was said and done, but he saved me the trouble of having to find a buyer for these and risk being scammed. I feel like I overpaid about $500 and he thinks I underpaid him about $300, so in my eyes he still came out ahead.

·The Hulk has only been losing an average of 1 second/week, but for one week it didn't gain/lose any time at all. Meanwhile my BLNR would gain about 1 second/week. That's pretty much quartz accuracy (less than 1 minute/yr off). So, It's off the winder and getting a rest until the next time I wear it.
Most of my non-radio controlled Swiss and Japanese quartz watches all gain 1-2 minutes per year, the exceptions being my X-33 and Grand Seiko that gain 4-5 sec/yr or my Bulova Apollo 15's that gain about 10 sec/yr.
