Icon20 New Watch Alert - Explorer II Polar, 16570
Hi all,

So I ended up "pulling the trigger" on a 16570 Polar, from 2007, yesterday and I will be picking it up today.

I have to say, this community/ forum is amazing and I'd like to thank everyone for the help/advice while I was searching and figuring it all out.

Spent a pretty penny on this one...but for whatever reason I really connected with it and hope to pass it down in the family someday...

I will update you guys with some photos if all checks out!

What a beaut! So much historical significance with that piece. I love it! Congrats

You should see if you can pick up this magazine on the Explorer II. I picked the Sub version up once I got mine.

Solid end links! I believe the center ones on all 16570s are hallow!
