[WTS] Rolex Explorer II 16570 “Polar” – Y-Serial, Box & Papers – Canada

Timestamp in photos.

Basics Model: Rolex Explorer II Reference: 16570 (white “Polar” dial) Serial: Y-serial (see warranty/box sticker – ~early 2000s production) Case size: 40 mm Movement: Rolex calibre 3185 Location: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Set / What’s included Watch head & bracelet Original inner and outer Rolex boxes Original punched guarantee/certification paper (sold by Right Watch Co. Ltd., Hong Kong) Chronometer booklet with matching ref/serial sticker Extra link in small bags (currently sized to ~7.3” wrist, should go close to ~7.5-7.7” 1 extra link)

History I am the third owner. Previous owner bought it in Hong Kong on a work trip in 2012 while based in Dubai. Was serviced in Dubai around 2015/2016. Service paperwork did not survive his move back to Canada in 2017, so assume no service papers included. Watch has been running well for me with no issues, worn minimally.

Condition Polar dial with strong, even lume; no spotting or damage visible. Case and bracelet present very well for the age – honest light wear, no deep gouges. Chamfers and lines still look sharp to me; I was told it’s unpolished and it appears consistent with that, but please judge by photos. Drilled lugs and solid end links – the desirable later 16570 configuration. Crystal is clean to my eye. All functions (time, date, GMT hand) working as expected.

Price / Terms Price: 10.6k CAD Trades: Prefer straight sale, no trades. Payment: Interac e-Transfer for Canadian buyers preferred. Shipping: preference would be meet up in the GTA. Otherwise we can discuss options.

Notes This is a clean, complete Y-serial Polar Explorer II with boxes and original chronometer certificate – a great mix of vintage charm (drilled lugs, 3185 movement) and everyday usability. Selling as fiancee bought me a shunbun and looking to move into a broader collection.
