Dress or no dress? Or more or less sporty?

If you want the polar look for a later year so you can get the parachrom movement with its anti shock and anti magnetic improvements.

The choice between these two to me depends on what else you have
Definitely sporty look. Ive got a lot of fairly rare vintage watches that are not ideal for daily use. Always worn Omega but Rolex has been pulling me for some time now. My daily wearer at the moment is a seamaster but I suspect the explorer 2 is gonna be firmly fixed to my wrist. Its arriving today and Im just a little excited.

The 1655 is my Grail. That orange hand...
Unfortunately my budget wont stretch to the Steve Mcqueen ! I would love one too.

Good news they have come down. They bubbled then the green Millgauss, now the ceramic Daytona.

They have come down but still looking 2-3 times more than a classic explorer.

So new watch has arrived! 2008 , box papers and negotiated a great deal.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing the picture now. I've seen several people comment about owning both polar and the black dial. I can understand this as the two really do look so different even though the layout and basic elements are the same.

On this model for me the Polar is much more Original. Neither is a beautiful balanced watch in pictures but there's something really nice about them when you wear them.
