Can't seem to make up my mind on a white or black dial Explorer 2 216570. Any thoughts?

timeldn · 17 July 2018, 07:17 AM

Black Dial. However if you have other black dials and you do not have a white dial watch, then I would go for the white dial.

Black Dial. It just looks more classy to my eye.

Gospodin · 17 July 2018, 07:20 AM

Black dial. The black hands on the white dial do serve a purpose but just don't look noble.

hhtwaijri · 17 July 2018, 07:21 AM

I always go with black dials. More versatile.

But with the exp ii, go polar my friend. It looks fantastic.

Plus, the hands are one colour. On the black dial, the hands are painted black near the center of the dial. No big deal, but annoys the hell out of me

White ! ! but both good chooses

mishaalt · 17 July 2018, 07:28 AM

Polar all the way!!

DLRIDES · 17 July 2018, 07:53 AM

Shouldn’t be a question ! lol

White dial. Both versions look good, but I find contrast between hands and dial worse on the black version. Polar Explorer II does have a unique modern look and is easy to read. I like this combination of white dial, white handles an indices with their black border and orange GMT hand. Makes this watch dial look very 3D.

However, Polar Explorer II doesn't look very Rolex. When I see it, I think Swatch. That's a good and a bad thing. Explorer II has been on my mental list of Rolex to consider since it came out.

I wasn't sure at first but the Polar won. One nice surprise was that the cyclops and date is not in your face, it blends in with the white dial.

Polar white looks a lot more attractive to me.

watchmework · 17 July 2018, 08:26 AM

Like the white dial much better.

Foxiness · 17 July 2018, 08:33 AM

Polar. There’s plenty of other black dials but very few good looking white dials

Bryanli88 · 17 July 2018, 08:35 AM

I noticed the same. Was never a lover of the cyclops, but it is not intrusive on the Polar dial.

jsg1976 · 17 July 2018, 08:42 AM

Polar for sure

My vote is for polar! Both are really nice though

CoveWatch · 17 July 2018, 08:58 AM

I’m for white also!

Jerz616 · 17 July 2018, 09:13 AM

I think I made a mistake going for the white. But then I just look at it and think, nah, it’s perfect.

scarlet knight · 17 July 2018, 09:27 AM

Had both. Like both. White more unique

Largoshark · 17 July 2018, 09:30 AM

Polar feels like a more special watch to me.

Bladeshot · 17 July 2018, 09:31 AM

Polar adds variety to a black dial collection. That’s my choice. Look forward to learning what you select!

Having had an Explorer II, black dial, I can only suggest a black dial. Richer looking.

White all day every day. There are no white dial sports Rolex models besides the Daytona. Makes the explorer unique compared to other models which wear the black dial much better IMO.
