I'd go for the white dial, hands down... speaking of hands, imho the "Phantom" hands of the black dial Explorer II are a disaster! Its WG part of the hands looks like it was applied to the blackened part although it's the other way around... it looks really off imho!

Many congrats!

And sorry about telling you my opinion... it's a matter of taste which of the new Explorer II's one likes. I just prefer the white dial.

Both are great. Since you have a white dial already go black for the EXP.

Black! Also if you - for whatever reason - decide to sell, black will be easier. White EX II is in my opinion only a summer model but black is always nice.
