White all the way.....while you wont get the "hey, is that a Rolex!" the watch looks amazing in white.

"White all the way.....while you wont get the "hey, is that a Rolex!" the watch looks amazing in white." You may get a "hey, is that a Tag?!" LOL LOL

Girl I know saw a Exp II white face and asked if it was a TAG. Guess you had to be there! Was funny at the time. My friend who had the Exp II proudly replied "hell no it is no piece of crap TAG, it is a Rolex!" LOL LOL

you guys have all made good points with the black face showing prints,looking like a ss sub and gmt. I want mine to stand out from the rest. I got my wife a Cartier Roadster for Xmas/Bday. Hers is mans size and all SS with white face also. It is very clean looking. Like my Datejust..Now just need a good AD to buy from who will give me a nice discount.Any ideas guys??

I finally got it...white face from a local dealer who had a D series with open papers. I love it and got a nice deal on it. He had 2 so I got where I wanted to be or at least close. How can I keep the Lume nice and bright? Any ideas guys?

If it was only one watch or one EXP II it would still be the White EXP II any day of the week.

Atlanta · 30 September 2008, 01:50 AM

Won't let me vote? But I would say Black since I think of it as a Sport model. Daytona is the only sport watch I like in White.

Lamone · 30 September 2008, 02:07 AM

Black, passes unnoticed to the none Rollie aficionado

akhamdani · 30 September 2008, 05:23 PM

May be the black.Both great I think.

I wanted white until I saw the SDD without the Cyclops. The black dial/white markers were stunning.

When I learned that the "bubble" was removable I went with this:

I’m in such a bind on this question. Loved my Explorer 2 polar but I want a 36mm so bad and they only come in black!! I’m fondly remembering my GMT and think I’m gonna dive in but if there was a polar white option for the 36mm I would already have it on my wrist haha!

subprimero · 6 February 2022, 02:12 PM

If I were integrating it into a Rolex collection, I would pick white. As an only watch I would pick black.

koetp · 6 February 2022, 04:57 PM

Black

Krash · 6 February 2022, 10:09 PM

I’d go white because I have nothing but black and blue dials.

100 per cent black

ExplorerI · 10 February 2022, 11:10 PM

White

watchwatcher · 10 February 2022, 11:20 PM

Prediction: the white is going to win with about 2/3 of the vote. It's always been more popular on TRF, just like the white over the black dial Daytona.

However, it would be a tough choice for me. I guess it would come down to which one I was wearing whenever I had to make the call.

ThePalletFork · 11 February 2022, 04:06 AM

Polar for me

baamvino · 11 February 2022, 04:31 AM

100% White

Roli4life · 11 February 2022, 05:53 AM

Black

Krash · 11 February 2022, 07:34 AM

White simply because I have all black and blue dial watches.
