Rapid Review of GMF's 226570 Rolex Polar Explorer II

[kennygconspiracy]

I have JF V3 a2836-2 polar. Do you think this is superior enough to warrant buying?

Absolutely, without a doubt.

I used to have the 216 polar and noire ( pix date it as that was London Olympics 2012 ).... the lume on the rep looks insanely good... compare to gen its a very good homage.

Great review, thanks!
@kennygconspiracy please can you make a picture of this Explorer II near a Sub 41mm? I’m interested in full watch dimensional difference

 

[Komnenus]

Great review, was looking for something like this!
Thank you!

I don't want to get too excited but mine is on the way of giving green on the QC

Absolutely, without a doubt.

In light of the anticipated release by CF of an Explorer II 226570 with DD 3285 movement, hopefully including proper size date wheel. wouldn't't it make sense to wait rather than buy a current GMF or VSF version with their movements?

Buy both! hahaha

Btw is there (even a rough) estimate when the CF version might be released? I got my hands on used Noob 216570 for now, but still...

Rumors rumors. No confirmation yet from anybody. If anyone knows from his TD, please post!

@kennygconspiracy - what do you think about the black dial version ?

 

[spaceman007]

Nice review @kennygconspiracy , would you consider this NWBIG? lol
Definitely putting this or the black dial on the list to buy but curious to compare to the CF version as well.

Thanks for this share. Your pictures are impressive.
Regarding the replica, I agree its seems to a major move forward !
It is weird they made the base of the orange triangle on the GMT hand thicker than the 2 other sides.
