It depends on whether you have a lot if white or black face watches. Pick one you dot already have.

CWIN · 31 January 2014, 02:43 AM

I'd go white dial. I think it looks so much better than the black.

BNA/LION · 31 January 2014, 02:43 AM

White dial

SLS · 31 January 2014, 02:44 AM

Black dial

psv · 31 January 2014, 02:56 AM

The hands on the black Exp42 looks weird to me, just cannot get over it. So white/polar for me.

White all the way

Horology.life · 31 January 2014, 03:08 AM

White 16570.
I'm currently looking for a mint condition 2nd hand one.

Cc1966 · 31 January 2014, 03:09 AM

Polar...

Rogdogg · 31 January 2014, 03:13 AM

I had a very hard time trying to decide between the 2 a little over a year ago. I eventually went with white, wear it every day and still love it.
I also figured that there are many more black dial watches I could get in future. I usually don't go for white dial watches but love this one.

I prefer the white dial version, very clean looking

submariner123 · 31 January 2014, 03:39 AM

Black. I don't like white dial watches that much.

On the new version, blk. Last generation I would go with white.

Rashid.bk · 31 January 2014, 04:08 AM

White....in fifteen minutes I may say black. This is just as tough as the two GMTs.

Gork · 31 January 2014, 04:09 AM

White

DavW · 31 January 2014, 04:10 AM

I bought the white and just could not get used to wearing a white dialled watch.

So my vote went with the black.

Looks like the white looks great on you! i think we have about the same skin tone, i feel like im looking at my wrist, minus the ink

i couldn't decide either, i went to the AD that had both and tried them on … once on my wrist, i knew instantly which i was going to get!

white for me.

T. Ferguson · 31 January 2014, 04:16 AM

I voted white dial. Both are sharp but the polar adds variety to the usual mix of black dial professional Rolexes in the typical collection. And I prefer the hands over the floating hands on the black dial.

Explorador · 31 January 2014, 04:17 AM

To me, black is more masculine. I know its very subjective. I voted black.

Urosfan · 31 January 2014, 05:10 AM

Polar

petenyc · 31 January 2014, 05:16 AM

white dial

E70x5 · 31 January 2014, 05:19 AM

White dial looks so clean and crisp. Love my polar !

Agreed. Even if the "floating" hands could have been better executed on the black 216570

Annan · 31 January 2014, 05:26 AM

White is right!

salander · 31 January 2014, 05:51 AM

Definitely white. I love mine.

a_plus1234 · 31 January 2014, 05:54 AM

I vote black. The orange hand and Explorer text pops against the blk
