I voted white, but own a black one.

Now what does that tell me about watch goals/deals for 2018

BNA/LION · 7 February 2018, 10:10 AM

I Voted White since you didn't have a Cream Dial choice.

chloebear · 7 February 2018, 11:08 AM

Some days I feel like I got it backwards with a black Explorer 2 and white Milgauss. But if I had the back Milgauss and polar Explorer 2, I’d want the other. It’s a real problem that every Rolex is so nice!

16570 Polar, 216570 Black

sillo · 7 February 2018, 11:20 AM

White

I'm biased though

GEO_79 · 7 February 2018, 11:20 AM

White for me.

watchwatcher · 7 February 2018, 11:24 AM

Impossible to tell. I remember when it was first released, I was super stoked for the white, but the AD got the black in first. So I tried it on, and it was love at first sight.

All boils down to whether you want a white or black dial in your collection.

there can be only one

Hoping to see a Blue dial in the future!!

Rogdogg · 7 February 2018, 01:48 PM

I voted White dial. I have one. It was my first and is still my favourite watch.

The black dial is actually the one that pulled me by the heart strings into the world of Rolex watches but during the process of doing my research before my purchase and trying them on in-store I went with the white dial.
I figured I really liked it and they weren't doing many white dialled options that I liked so figured most others I bought would have a black dial.

Having had it for many years now I love it more and more as the years pass by.

polaris72 · 7 February 2018, 02:49 PM

I chose white as I have many black dial watches. Both looks good though.

That's funny...not sure if you saw my post, but I did the exact opposite. Really can't go wrong either way. I love them both.

jlevitt9 · 7 February 2018, 05:04 PM

16570 = polar, 216570 = black

Justindo · 7 February 2018, 05:08 PM

White because most other Rolex sport watches are black. If I wanted black, I'd probably opt for a GMT II instead.

tyler1980 · 7 February 2018, 05:11 PM

I like the Polar much better in pics. Trying both on side by side I would get black. The polar on my wrist doesnt look as good.

asiparks · 7 February 2018, 05:17 PM

not to repeat what many before have said, but having tried both on....white - great in pics, on Nato's etc, but in real life, went for black...

HogwldFLTR · 7 February 2018, 05:19 PM

16570 Black is what I've got!!! I like the traditional look!!

Foxglove · 7 February 2018, 05:41 PM

I have so many black dialed watches that I love this one in white. Especially this model has amazing presence in white because of the black hands contrasting beautifully wit the dial and marching the black print on the dial.

Black dial for me.
White face watches shouldn't even exist.

greeneyedguy · 7 February 2018, 08:52 PM

I'm in the same boat with the decisions. I'm really hoping they release a ceramic bezel explorer two. I've always wanted a white faced rolex and with the black bezel it's a monster, however the black dial with the black bezel looks amazing too. We'll cross our fingers and hope!!
