Your favorite white dial Rolex sports model?

After I sell my Breitling Bentley GT, I would like to replace with another white dial Rolex. Currently I'm torn between ExpII 42mm polar and the SS Daytona white dial. I've also entertained the thought of TT Daytona since it's not much more money than the SS. I can only pick one for now. What would you do? What's your favorite modern white dial Rolex sports model? Thanks in advance for everyone's input and opinions.

Both Exp and Daytona are not my favorite but given the choice between them I would choose a TT Daytona. The only favorite white dial for me is on a 36mm YG DD. Plat/SS YM dial is silvery grey not white so that doesn't count

The Explorer II.



While not technically white, I also like the Yachtmaster.

Personally, I like the older panda dialed Daytonas compared to the white dial version they are offering today. The Daytona has no date which might be a set back if you are looking for a great all purpose sports watch. This obviously brings me to my endorsement of the white dial Explorer II. It's not like the Daytona is a poor choice in any regard but if we are talking white dial sports Rolex, there is only one true contender in the lineup at this time.

Explorer II without a doubt! In fact, it's my favourite Rolex.

I know mine's black, but I am posting it anyway.

I have to say, my current favorite Rolex white dial is on the Air King. But, if I were you I'd go for the Daytona.
