The stainless steel 40mm case retains sharp edges and solid proportions, with hairlines visible around both sides under close inspection. The Oyster bracelet is equally well-preserved, exhibiting some light surface hairlines on the clasp and links but no stretch or notable damage. The white “Polar” dial is in very good condition, displaying bright tone and strong contrast against the applied black surrounds. The hands are also in very good shape, showing no corrosion or discolouration, with lume ageing evenly across both dial and handset. The fixed 24-hour bezel remains clearly defined, and the sapphire crystal is clean and scratch-free. Overall, this is a well-cared-for example of the late-1990s Explorer II — crisp, original, and ideal for collectors seeking an honest Polar reference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51575678402839,"sku":"ROL-EXPLORER-II-16570-POLAR-40MM-1997","price":10999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/8670\/3383\/files\/Rolex-Explorer-II-16570-Polar-40MM-1997-2_41c35c01-9919-491f-b7f5-61d404e65a3f.jpg?v=1762939853","url":"https:\/\/crownvintage.com.au\/products\/rolex-explorer-ii-16570-polar-40mm-1998","provider":"Crown Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
