I am posting this as if fans of the white dial need any more ammunition that they made the white err I mean right decision purchasing the white dial 216570!

I have to throw in the 1655 for good measure ;-)

Moccw · 23 September 2012, 01:50 AM

I like the white, and black both. I ended up purchasing the white just the other day on here. Will have it Monday and post a few pics. Excited to get my new watch.

Don't understand all these W/B topics, just take both!
It's a 15 job for your watchmaker and you can change every couple of months if you like...

To obtain an authentic look you should have spare hands too.

you are right, but don't you worry sir, I have those as well, but packed and sealed in a waxed parts bag by the watchmaker, too much hassle and danger to open it, hands are 10 times more delicate then dials

PM me if you have a white dial and spare hands for the EXP II 216570 you would like to sell. Thank you.

White

GEO_79 · 26 September 2012, 11:03 AM

I like the white one

YoyoGift8 · 26 September 2012, 11:28 AM

White - stands out more...

joejoe1225 · 8 October 2013, 02:19 AM

Get them BOTH!!! - Thats what I did. Love the 42mm size - AWESOME!!!!!

JS

Gaijin · 8 October 2013, 02:23 AM

Black for me. Don't hate me but I much prefer the red 24 hour hand.

amvd · 8 October 2013, 02:28 AM

Polar for me too
there are plenty of sports rolex in black

ninotcs · 8 October 2013, 02:30 AM

Black. White dial makes the watch cartoonish in my opinion

Got a Polar and a Black - depends on my mood! (crappy answer, I know)

kbutler1 · 8 October 2013, 02:38 AM

I'm biased but I went with white. There are so many sport models in black that the white to me pops out more besides looking really nice.

watchmaniac · 8 October 2013, 02:38 AM

Black for me

TAKUYA · 8 October 2013, 03:16 AM

Black (very cool matte black dial, not very shinny like another black dials of Rolex sport models), but having the silver hands with silver rings around the makers to give it a phantom effect, and matching perfectly with the new color Orange of the GMT hand.

I'd only get the white dial if it is 16570 model with the red gmt hand. But the Orange GMT hand looks so much better.........imo!

408cissss · 8 October 2013, 03:45 AM

All my other watch has black dial.

gsgarbear2 · 8 October 2013, 03:56 AM

I'm partial to the Polar

AK797 · 8 October 2013, 05:10 AM

black brings out the orange more and makes the dial appear less wide.

do or die · 8 October 2013, 05:16 AM

Bought the white 42mm last week, love it, but iam now lusting after the black dial also. I am greedy. I think the 42mm exp is the perfect Rolex, it has it all. That's why I need both black and white.......

Beef · 8 October 2013, 05:23 AM

I have black but voted white. The white and orange are stunning, IMHO. Hopefully, that's my next purchase. Strangely, I prefer black over white in 40mm.

rolio · 8 October 2013, 05:27 AM

Have always loved the white.

QueueCumber · 8 October 2013, 05:44 AM
