On the TRF we use reference names like...

Pepsi, Coke & Rootbeer for the GMT because of the bezel.

But what about giving reference names for the dials. Rolex doesn't give a "special" name for the black or white dials... they are just that... black or white.

So how about nameing the black dial... onxy or dark or night?

And the white dial... milk or snow or polar?

Well here it is my Polar dial Expy II...

Polar dial... I like it! I do like the looks of the Exp II... guess that is why I wear one! ;~) Cheers, Bill P.

Well, I dunno. I'd consider it "polarizing" to rename colours.

Okay, I'll call mine chupacabra Datie

Jedi · 23 January 2008, 02:49 PM

i would think ebony seeing as how onyx is a stone. people may become confused thinking it is like the meteorite dials or something. what do you think?

Than if everyone is in agreement...

* the white dial is now going to be known as the "Polar Dial"
and
* the black dial is now going to be known as the "Ebony Dial"

Agreed?????

Done.

Love my Polar White Dial. Added it to my signature to make it official. All Polars should do the same to see if it sticks.

Thnanks for being so bold +1 Polar Dial

feudallordcult · 23 January 2008, 04:16 PM

i like the name Polar dial, definitely adds character.

Monkeyman · 23 January 2008, 04:26 PM

Thats brilliant, and even better seen as i have one on its way as we type.

Monkeyman · 23 January 2008, 04:28 PM

Quickly becoming my favorite wearer, despite the IIc.

Laying face up at night, with wear all day it is SPOT on.

frostie · 24 January 2008, 08:51 AM

The dial of the exp II can be called snow white

Polar dial is really cool though

JBat · 24 January 2008, 09:19 AM

One thing I do know is that the "Polar Dial" Explorer II is a great looking watch.

Rubenonfire · 24 January 2008, 09:21 AM

LOVE that Polar-Dial Exy-II!!

Indeed it is. If i ever buy a new watch it's going to be the white dial explorer II. It looks so simple and elegant

jordancwlu · 24 January 2008, 12:29 PM

Polar dial is a winner. The "Everest" is pretty timely however and might have a better chance at sticking. Regardless, polar it is.

Solar · 26 January 2008, 02:14 AM

I know I'll be shunned for this, but when I hear Polar dial, I think of the Kobold Polar Explorer and the shimmery ice-blue dial of that watch.

Since I've seen polar skys with the accompanying snow and blue horizons, I think sky-blue when I think polar.

That said, the Exp was walked up Everest and has been used on various explorations of the north, and the Rolex website shows the Exp II white dial with a dog sled background.

I think your choice of "polar" dial for the white Exp II is cool.

Best,

Chris
