Waikiki boutique has some stainless professional available

As title say, I saw 2 Explorer II in black and white dial and one airking. If you’re looking for these particular watches, I believe it’s still on display inside the counter. Good luck

My AD has had both a white dial and black dial EXP II for a while now.
No one seems interested.
(Certainly not me.)
Can't say I understand at all having any watch with a lumed 24 hour hand and a non-lumed 24 hour associated bezel.
Just seems a counterproductive and dumb design to me.
Anyway - that is just my own opinion. Other opinions may vary.

The bezel is pure convenience. You can easily tell the 24-hour time using only the dial. Just multiply the dial number by 2; e.g., when the 24-hour hand points to 4, it's 8 am; when it points to 9, it's 1800 hours, or 6 pm.

FWIW, none of the the GMT-Master II models have lumed bezels, either. Do you see those as counterproductive and dumb, too?

I say anyone who favorably comments here and does not own one needs to forced to buy one. There was previous thread where some people NEED to align the top marker of the rotating bezel on their GMTs or Subs to within one tenth of a mm with the dial. Tells me they never turn them anyway.

AD near me had both EXP2 colors, white Milgauss and Air King. Least desirable yes, but still 904L sports models
