Or, do you think that it would cannibalize too much EXII Polar sales? Really want a white dial watch with the ability for at least 3 time zones. I'm on conference calls all week between US, UK and Asia. Love the EXII Polar, but really wish it had a rotating bezel. Am I smoking too much ganga to hope that there's ever a GMTII white dial or an EXII Polar with rotating bezel?

I would imagine you said it yourself in your first sentence.

Wont happen due to the effect it will have in the exp II sales. Rolex can't make any 2 watches very similar due to the effect it will have on sales to the other model.

Just like how they wont make a blue SS sub.

Thats just my 0.02 though

Someone put a white Exp II dial in a 16710 case. Problem solved!

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured as such. Thanks.

Didn't know it would fit. Unfortunately that would void RSC from servicing the watch, not saying there aren't other places to get it serviced though. Thanks.

you mean like this one I posted a while back...???

Ha ha. You'd think Rolex would get on the multi-colored ceramic inserts.

sdwtchlvr · 8 March 2012, 05:02 PM

Nah...But I agree that a pepsi & coke bezel would probably seal the deal for me.

I prefer white dials on a dress watch but not on a sports model.

I think the EXPII, Daytona, and Milgauss white dials look pretty good.

Ooops....yes, forgot about the EXP. I do prefer the white dial on it and would love to have one. Not a fan of the other two you mentioned so they never crossed my mind and I don't have a dial preference. When I think "sports/tool" I'm usually just thinking Sub, GMT, EXP, DSSD. Thanks for reminding me.

Why would you think that?

No.

After the Sky Dweller, all thoughts of a GMT have permanently come to an end for me.

Does this mean you will be first on TRF? I personally think it's a great looking watch and would stand in line to see it.

The Polar 16570 (prior explorer ii) fits this bill nicely.
