Damn, all the pictures of the polar are so poisoning to make me pull the trigger.

The movement is the only thing preventing me from doing so

Am I too paranoid on it?

Looks like they made a silent update to the crown. Lol

Oh yes! This is the correct winding crown! I guess I have to purchase

No problem with the lume overnight. Its the same as with my VSF Subs.

On pictures at TD CTime website the GMF Explorer II both are shown with small/correct size crowns….

The GMF Explorer II's now have correct crowns? We need a confirmation!

Love all the pics of the GMF Explorer II...Convinced me to buy the watch. Unfortunately I just got the QC pics and looks like the numbers on the bezel were painted by an 8 year old. Hopefully the next one is good

Does it has the correct crown?

The crown doesn't look that bad. Guess the issue is they're too thick? Here's a pic of the watch from the QC if interested.

crown is updated, yeah shame abt the bezel

So the crown is updated but now a problem with the bezel or are we thinking this is a one off QC watch ..be curious to see

I hope it's just a one-off issue, and not the standard. Seems like a pretty big miss if all of the bezels have that lack of quality, I sent a note to the seller, and will update when I get a response back.

CTime just sended me QC pictures of a black Explorer II from GMF. Watch still has the big crown. Don’t know if CTime has old stock. I asked him to check with factory and send new QC Pictures of new Batch when in Stock.

Perfect, I look forward to your response. Appreciate the reply

The TD e-mailed me back and agreed that this was a one off defect. Need to wait for a new watch and QC pics now

Wear it in good health !
It doesn’t seem too big compared with Pepsi..

Dang it! I purchased the black one off someone before I read through this whole thread. The one I purchased has the larger crown. It wouldn't have bothered me, but it will knowing that they have been updated. Question, would a TD be able to source me the new crown? Would I also need a new tube, or do we think it works with the previous tube? Thanks!
