watchguy51 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I had a 40mm polar Explorer a while back, and I really liked it.. not quite sure why I got rid of it - just wanted a change I guess. Now I'm wondering.. is there any rep variation with lug holes? Or has anyone drilled them themselves on one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 There was a dealer a few years back that had a vintage cream dialed Explorer II- prowatch-polo. Don't know what happened to Polo, he's no longer a TD here and his website is gone. The watch had a few flaws- but I don't recall what they were. The white gold surrounds in the pic are ok for a 16550 model as well as the steel hands. Later Rolex switched to black surrounds and black hands- maybe when the 16570 came out. These days drilling lugholes would be a job for PBdad or jmb. None of the cases have them since Rolex did away with them 5-7 years ago- even the rep makers are keeping up with the times!

Chuck P Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I like the looks of the cream dial and surrounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchguy51 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 anyone know if polar explorers can still be purchased with pre-existing lug holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
