Explorer II Polar First Rolex
I was really wanting a GMT II as my first however I was fortunate to be able to take this off my uncle's hand (pun intended). It's still an amazing looking watch and really pops! I've had it for a week and have received multiple compliments on it as well as a trade offer. I do still intend on getting the GMT II, but will need to hold off for now.

It must feel special having a watch with a story behind it. And getting compliments on it already? That's a great sign! The GMT II sounds like a fantastic choice for your next watch. Patience is key when it comes to building a watch collection.

That's one heck of first Rolex. Congrats!! No need to rush into GMTII now that you have that.

Congrats! I love mine and have no desire for a GMT2. This is the perfect lower key travel watch and unique dial in the lineup.

Very nice indeed. Congrats on your great looking Polar Explorer. A classic that has great wrist presence, thus all the compliments. The GMT can come later, just enjoy. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

You’ve got a lovely watch, and GMT function so best of both worlds …

Congratulations...one of the best.
I have BLNR, and nobody notices. My sister thought it was a $200 watch, true story.  On the other hand (no pun intended), I have received more compliments on the Polar EXP2 than any other watch. |

I’ve worn my exp II polar for nearly 20 years, still looks as fresh and relevant today as the day I opened the box. My first Rolex too!

I predict you’ll change your mind. I wanted a sub and gmt and ended up with an Exp II which I love - buying either of the others now seems pointless. I’m guessing after a few months, you’ll come up with some new ideas!
