16570 White or Black?
Hi all,
If all else is equal, and you have 0 watches in the collection would you get a white or black dialed Explorer 2 (16570)?? If you have a dark dialed diver (non-Rolex) would that change your decision? What do you think? Mike |

Black) There are no bulletproof reasons why one or another. Look at both and choose what you like better - easy.

I like the polar explorer 2.
- The dial is easy to read. - the white dial gives me variety because most of my watches have a black dial. - I like the simple look. I also have a nodate Submariner. |

The black dial looks classier, due to the white gold trim on the dial as opposed to the gloss black paint on the white dial. I started with the white dial (my first Rolex), but er... decided I really had to have the black dial too. Ahem.

My personal favorite right now is the black dial. Not sure why, usually love white/silver dials, but not so much on the exIi

Polar for sure! I don't like black-faced watches with stainless bezels. I have a polar delivering tomorrow, can't wait to see it in person

I would go for polar as long as you have a different watch with a black dial, which it sounds like you do.

I like the Polar especially if you already own a black diver.
