Opinions needed: White dial.

Hi guys...

I'm planning to add one more piece (perhaps one final piece of my puzzle for the moment)... to my collection.

I want it to be a white/cream dial, as I am missing that colour.

Here are my choices, Rolex and non-Rolex... I know this is a Rolex forum, but lets be fair to these watches ahead... :)

1. Rolex Explorer II Polar.

2. Rolex DJII white dial with batons.

3. Calibre De Cartier (SS or SS/RG combination).

4. Zenith El Primero Grande Date (or maybe one with sun/moon).

So, what do you guys think?

I'd like to be able to wear it for work. I have my Panerais for casual. :)


The other two pics you already know of...

Heres the Zenith dan Cartier...

If its purely for office business attire, I quite like the Cartier white dial on leather strap.....If not then of course the EXP II

Of these, I prefer the DJ II, then the Explorer II.

Best of luck making your selection!

Based on the list, I would opt for the Zenith Open.

I have a couple of Zenith and trust me, you will be surprised at the quality of the movement and finishing at a good price point. Zenith is one of the most under-valued brand IMO.

Alternatively, if you are keen a white dial Rolex, why not wait for another 7-9 months for the new Explorer II

I like the look of the Zenith El Primero Grande Date (or maybe one with sun/moon).
