Newbie !

Hi guys, from the uk and looking to buy my first Explorer 42mm black dial.
Previously had a Submariner without date, sold that and bought the Breitling B1
Oh how I wish that I had kept that watch, it's nearly doubled in price!
Then an Omega Planet Ocean, black dial,great watch which will be a keeper
Had a very good offer to purchase a new Explorer 42mm from Swiss Watches Direct, however having seen photos posted on forum the white dial looks very good.
Never had a white dial on a watch before, any suggestions if this is too radical a change!

Try both on and go with the one (black or white) that speaks to you.

Nothing wrong with white.
