I like the white dial, we all have a ton of black dial SS watches, so the change is nice.....plus the orange pops on the white dial.....

I've tried them both on and prefer the white dial. I like the orange hand/white dial combo. My other watch is black dial and I wouldn't want 2 black dial watches.

Tough call as I am trying to decide the same thing.
I thought I wanted black, looked at the white and cannot get it out of my head. I have 4 on my short list, the TT GMT, Black Exp, White Exp and the Green Milgauss. Tough choices

I prefer the black dial on this model, and white dial on the 16570.

White one for me in this model. A stated previously most of us have quite a few black gave watches and the white is a nice change of pace. Plus the orange pops!

White dial! Hands look better, the black surrounds on the hour markers are an awesome contrast to the dial, and as said - how many other white-dialed sport watches does one own?

I wanted black like my 16570 but unfortunately the black 216570 had a matte dial, not shiny enamel, and the paint on the hands made them appear stubby. The paint also reduced the lume area.
So I went white and have no regrets. White 42s rule! Fr. John† |

I really do like the black....but I think the white somehow iooks more original and stands apart from the standard Rolex sport models.
IMO, the design of the Explorer II shines more in the white.... |

The black is a quiet classy look whle the white pops a little more. The hands on the white dial stand out more. Me...I think I am a black dial guy.
