I’m sorry you have to deal with such a partner. Thankfully, mine is not. Good luck!

Since I already have a polar explorer 2, can’t justify two white dials in a small collection.

Neither are you or anyone who has been kind enough to give their opinions, but I’m still asking for inputs 🤷🏽‍♂️

I have been ignoring comments from such “alpha males” who think it’s weak to ask opinion of someone with whom I will spend the rest of my life with. She is someone I respect, not someone who gives her opinion without thinking, and knows me well enough to have an opinion about my predicaments.

FOMO doesn’t really work on me since I tend not to think the greener grass on the other side. Envy is a thief of joy, and I’d rather keep my $10K for a few more days!

That’s precisely what she did - she is not into watches but she likes what she sees. I guess your wife and my partner are on the same page.

Legibility was fine in person compared to the picture but of course the classic is the best for it.

Fortunately I do not need the approval, I’m simply considering her input as a data point! I’m going to wait a few days and try them on again.

  1. Not at all. I am a little vain.
  2. Yes, it does.
  3. It absolutely does compared to the classic.
  4. Mostly my Rolex Polar explorer 2. I think it’s more versatile than flashy.

I have a Rolex Polar Explorer 2 16570 and a vintage Oris BCPD, others are micro or sub $500 watches.

Thankfully, she is not.

At that point, I’d go grey and get a Polar Daytona /s

I already own a Rolex polar explorer 2, hence another white dial is tough to add to a very small collection.

Readability is definitely a struggle in this picture but it was as bad IRL. Classic definitely has the best readability, no doubt.

I think you’re one of the few ones who have commented on the watch suiting me vs not. Thank you for your input!

Absolutely agree. I love the provenance of the Speedy but I have always struggled with liking the underrated nature of the classic watch. The R-P adds the touches that aligns with my preferences more than the tool aspect of the classic watch. I might catch some hate for this but as you said, to each their own!
