I love them both but if I were to only be allowed to love one the white would win. It's advantages over black are:
1. It's goes with any color clothing 2. White dials (esp Rolex) are less common than black. 3. The cyclops blends far better on the white face. All my opinion of course :-) |

I have both..
The white is a nice dress watch.. The black is more visible when actually out in the environment with it, especially in snow and under water...

White, hands down. If I wanted a black dial, I'd get a GMT or Sub.

I don't own either, but I've handled both. My favorite is the white, because it's like nothing else in the Rolex line. I plan to have one before year's end.

White, because that dial is less common and it works with the Explorer real well.

Every vote for the white makes me like the black a little bit more...

White because it's cleaner looking and makes it distinctive from the rest of the rolex sport watches

I falled in this dilema for awhile. don't know which should I get first ! I thought I like the white more, but got the black one instead and I glad I did. However, I will get the white one too when the upgrade available.
I wear my everyday!

Both are great, but I prefer the white.
The contrast of the red 24 hands against the crisp dial is breathtaking |

I voted for black, because I like black dials in general.
But the white face is damn nice, too.... Regards Tom |
