What's more low key and stealthy? Black or White dial Explorer II?

Mrdi · 11 February 2009, 03:09 PM

I like Arctic.

Wolfgang427 · 11 February 2009, 03:15 PM

White.

Starwalker · 11 February 2009, 03:17 PM

Black...always

chenx15 · 11 February 2009, 03:17 PM

i love the polar

Timber Loftis · 11 February 2009, 04:07 PM

Either. Both are frikkin great.

Singslinger · 11 February 2009, 04:36 PM

I think Rolex use white in their advertisements for the watch...

(I prefer white myself)

cody p · 11 February 2009, 04:59 PM

i think a white dial is more of a beacon than a black one.

Chris B · 11 February 2009, 05:02 PM

I have white so I'll say black, grass being greener etc lol

JJ Irani · 11 February 2009, 05:03 PM

I've had the pleasure of owning both......but preferred this one....

Jedi · 11 February 2009, 05:07 PM

They're both pretty stealthy, even the white, which I prefer. My wife wears the black, but that's been usurped recently by her Aquanaut.... hmmmm... time to swap out the bracelet??

yannis · 11 February 2009, 05:20 PM

A white one since it is a rare and distinctive colour. Not many sports Rolexes have a white dial afterall.

kcmo · 12 February 2009, 03:35 AM

I owned a white and ended up selling it. Prefer the black dial now.

bradg · 12 February 2009, 04:31 AM

I like the Artic...but both are soooo sweet.

DSJ · 12 February 2009, 04:37 AM

black

Agree........I like the white and have one!

SirLoki · 12 February 2009, 04:59 AM

low-key, definitely the black. white always stands out imo

Brunotheboxer · 12 February 2009, 05:01 AM

I say white.

redshirt1957 · 12 February 2009, 05:18 AM

I like them both and I think the black is more low key.

jmsrolls · 12 February 2009, 05:54 AM

Black, especially without the "bubble":

Bebot · 12 February 2009, 05:59 AM

White is the way to go for me.

By the way, I am in the market for a white one.

swish77 · 12 February 2009, 08:55 AM

Go for the black. It looks cooler and the red GMT hand stands out more. Overall, it's more of a classic Rolex look, IMHO. But I could be wrong ....

bodybump · 12 February 2009, 09:04 AM

Black is the new white...

Akira · 12 February 2009, 09:07 AM

White only, if not, they has a lot of blacks,
Still different

Black is more low-key.

Bisquitlips · 12 February 2009, 09:10 AM

White in the Explorer II is my color of choice. Stealthy??? No, but none of them are stealthy as I would find myself looking at them 14 dozen times a day!

Blown Wide Open · 12 February 2009, 09:41 AM

I own a white, actually my second one. I flipped the first and regretted it later.

They have never been spotted as a Rolex. My Seadweller and GMTII have been noticed and complimented at least once a month.

mike · 12 February 2009, 10:57 AM

For stealth I'd say black.

promethus · 12 February 2009, 10:59 AM

For stealth, white. cause the gmt hand don't stand out.

xjeeunitx · 12 February 2009, 11:00 AM

I think black is more stealthy just because most of the Rolex sport models come in the black color. Some might say that white is more noticeable since they don't make sport models in white but only Rolex guys would know the difference. Just my 2 cents.
