Incoming >> ExpII 42....White!

Originally got the white shortly after it's release. Then sold it after convincing myself I needed the black (common problem for some of us).

After some time and numerous trips to the AD and TRF EXPII threads I knew I had to get back on board with the white dial. I just love how crisp it is!
The matte black is a very nice look but I've realized that the white dial is the Exp for me.

For those considering the 216570 - it's a win win (dial is just personal choice).
I've got to say it wears more comfortable than any of my other Rolex watches. The lower profile and 42mm case is perfectly done.

Thanks to DavidSW once again!!!
Here's my BNIB beauty.....

Congrats on IMO the most distinctive and coolest Rolex sport watch! I think the white 42MM EXP II is unique and uncommon in the Rolex world ... and the case proportions and dial really balanced. Low key yet striking!

Congrats Travis! I think that Rolex got it totally right when they made all the updates to the 216570. Although I prefer the black dial...there really isn't any wrong choice as both are stunning.

x2 I share the same opinion as Bruce Wayne! Looks great on you Travis! Wish you could have stayed with us on the Dark Side but the Storm Troopers need some love too! Congrats on your change up! DavidSW strikes again!

Congratulations, Travis!
I guess once you go black, you actually can go back:)

Enjoy it in good health! I agree with you...it is the most comfortable Rolex I have ever owned by a long shot.
Have a great weekend.

looks great Travis, I'll be heading down the noir path when the time comes to add a 216570.

I have the preceded model with a polar face, but that polar face on the newer model is striking.

Congrats Travis!

The new Explorer II's are by far the best modern day SS Rolex sport watches on the market.

Congrats Travis and wear that beauty in good health!

I need to stop looking at the Exp II threads myself because although I have the black dial, the more pictures I see of the white, the more I want one too!
