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.

Please try it again. If it doesn't sing, it doesn't sing. Don't have to rush or push for it yeah. Even though many here voted for white, you don't necessarily have to follow them.

Pick which ever sings to you more.

I'm with the white camp too
