I have tried on the white Daytona and honestly didn’t like it. If I could get one I’d get the black dial. I have the 216570 and I absolutely think it’s the best white dial SS.

I may catch flak for this, but I went with the Explorer II. I own the Daytona and it is awesome, but I think legibility and overall presence is so much better on the Explorer.

Daytona wins out for me, but all of the white dial options from Rolex are pretty special. The DD white dials are intriguing...

I think I have to vote polar although the daytona is also very nice and the recent op39 with cream white dial looks especially nice in person. It is honestly a 3 way tie.

I am very surprised the see the white sky dweller have more votes than the op39.

Its a tough one between the 116500LN and the 16570 Polar but the Explorer get the vote for me.

The old Daytona not the new cluttered overpriced overhyped one.

I’m a huge Exp. II fan, and always loved the polar,... but the newer OP39 white dial is just such a perfect clean watch in my opinion I would go with that currently.

Milgauss 116400-0002!!!

Searched high and low for one of these a few years ago. (I know they're not that hard to find but I'm picky.) Since I took this picture I put it back on its PCL oyster bracelet.

My opinion is this is the Nicest dial rolex makes!

Reminded me of the Patek white dial on their 5711 which also does not show its beauty in photos vs in person.

The only white faced model with hands outlined in black, making them highly visible in all lighting, of course.

The EXP2.
