Well thank you all, for taking the time to reply.
I am really torn, i love both, but have a black dial already SD43, and was thinking of the explorer as a daily wearer, and especially the white one in the summer month, when i wear short sleeve and dress with short and t shirt. it would make a good holiday watch, and does not seem to attract attention. they are both stunning, and i like the 2 time zones. i have tried both and still cannot decide...i am also surprised to read that the white dial is easy to read. cheers, again. |

Outside of panda dial chronographs, there are very few white dialed sports watches i like. I went with a black 16570.

Polar white for maximum visibility in all conditions.

I found the black easier to read in most light.

White. I have a number of watches with black dials. I wanted something different. And something white. Proper white. Not off white or cream or light grey.
I think my Polar looks fantastic. And the blue lumes really go nicely with the white dial. I think it's a highly underrated watch. But that's OK. At least I didn't have to wait years or go grey to get this unique example of understated excellence. |

Black for 6 digit, white for 5 digit. That was what I decided after a lot of back and forth.

I have a white faced DJ and I wanted a polar, but I had an opportunity to get a black one so I went with it.
I'm happy with it.

Though I don't own an Explorer, I would 100% go for the white. I love the look with the steel bezel. More unique in my opinion when compared to the black.

Sticking with both. If I had to choose only one it would totally be a coin toss. Started with black then had to add the polar. Couldn’t be happier with them.

I have the exact same set-up as well for the same reasons.

Tough decision. Black looks sporty, white looks dressy. Either way you can't lose.
