Between the black and white dial

[Aspirin]

Between the black and white dial, what do you think about which color is good for dress, and which one is good for casual?

[joeychitwood]

I assume you're talking about the Daytona models. I prefer white for both, but either is perfectly appropriate for dress or casual.

[Renoir]

Another vote for white...to me there's something special about the black hands and black trim around the lumina plots. Just my humble opinion.

[mtrunner]

Well I prefer the black dial on both the Daytona and Explorer II though the white dial is also nice as well. More of a personal preference and you really can't go wrong with either one. I think both can look dressy as well.

[HL65]

Both are fine.

Since you are considering an Explorer II, I would recommend the black as an all-around casual/dress watch.

When I was shopping, I thought I wanted the white as most of my watches have black dials. In the AD's case was a Sea Dweller date without the Cyclops and the open dial/hands/markers made for a stunning combo. When I discovered how easy it was to remove the Cyclops, I went with the black.

Sigh... The trouble is I think I fall in love with another one, that DJ SS 116334(pic as below, someone placed here last night), the Explorer II black I locked it up to get it before the end of Sep. So what I'm thinking is how to share the spare time of mine if I really get one more DJ, torn between two lovers!

If you're talking dressy, I think white is a bit more classic (think Patek). However, for typical US office wear, both work well.

If I had only one watch it would be black face. It is dressy enough and a lot more sporty when in a more casual situations.

[JUSTROLEXES]

It's the watch and not the dial IMO both are just fine
myself i like the white on the daytona but don't get me wrong I will wear the black one with a smile on my face

White Exp2.

I think I would go with this DJ instead of the Explorer also if it were me.

In a sea of black dialed watches, a white one really stands out sometimes. If I were thinking about a Daytona or an Explorer, I'd have a real good look at the white dials. Just my humble opinion, but I find them just a tad more unique.

Thanks, Daytona, short of cash for this!

I've always looked at black or darker dials being dressier and white or lighter dials being more casual. A lot depends on the actual watch they are on and the metals the watch is made of too, though.

[StarSovereign]

I'm going to be getting a DateJust in a few weeks and I think I'm going to go for the white...very classy!

A logical analyse! I'm bit bias on Exp.II black for casual and DJ white for dressy for the time being.

I'd say both are fine for anything:









At least when talking about the ExII.

Best,

[Gerardus]

EX2 =50/50% both are great!
For the Daytona only white for me.

for the sporty watch, Explorer II is too enough for me, Daytona looks too mechanical, but beautiful anyway!

[RRGHOST1]

Whatever watch, it has to be a white dial, be it a DJ2, Daytona or Explorer.
