Dont think it is going to happen. They just upgraded hands and dail 2 years ago. Besides don't think they are going to mess with dail design to acommondate date.

I just bought an Ex-1 and love the dail.

if they were to make a white dialed Explorer I, I'd prefer they make the surrounds on the indices black and keep the lume white, ala 2165760 Polar.
Black lume sucks and would fly counter to the Explorer's practical purpose.

This. And a date with a cyclops would ruin the simple beauty of the Explorer, in my opinion.

Agree with this. I'd love to see a white dialled explorer just not like the one above.

juliet · 5 March 2018, 05:51 PM

A date and/or that white face would be fantastic for the value of my 214270 mk2.

Rolex fan 61 · 6 March 2018, 12:19 AM

The explorer with the beautiful black dial and symmetry is perfect so why change it??

xIZeitgeistIx · 6 March 2018, 12:44 AM

The white dial version looks pretty cool, but I think the ExpI will remain in its current state for the next few years.
Just my 2cents...

watchwatcher · 6 March 2018, 12:56 AM

Meh.

danlar · 6 March 2018, 01:44 AM

I hope they don't add a date function. That's what makes the explorer an explorer - just a no nonsense, no complication, rugged watch

Loevhagen · 6 March 2018, 01:50 AM

Black rehaut rocks. Not.

Splash · 6 March 2018, 02:15 AM

I like the image in the OP myself (but not sure I would take it over my black dial).

also...

Date = Not an Explorer

That will never ever happen, nor should it.

I actually would say “yuck” to an explorer 1 with a date!

Please never a date on an Explorer.

ap1 · 6 March 2018, 02:39 AM

Looks bamford

dafuture · 6 March 2018, 02:43 AM

I doubt they'd change it, but I kind of like the look. I'd like to see it in person.

101031-28 · 6 March 2018, 02:46 AM

I don't think Rolex will make a white dial Explorer I, much less one with date.

bigfatpauli · 6 March 2018, 03:12 AM

No. I think Rolex has enough sense to not make something like, or add a date.

My hope (I know, in vain) is a 36mm Explorer with a matte dial. Oh baby...

tgibbs · 6 March 2018, 03:12 AM

I like it!

Ravager135 · 6 March 2018, 03:23 AM

I don't think they are going to change the Explorer any more than they already have. Other than case sizing, the Explorer remains one of the least changed models since its inception. I think that's perfectly fine considering those that buy the Explorer typically do so for it's timeless design and almost "prototype" design. It's basically the base professional model. I think part of that charm is that you can only get it in a black dial and in steel.

Well said.

vintagehartmann · 6 March 2018, 01:51 PM

For me if the dial was cream and the whole thing was in 36mm white gold.

Jack T · 6 March 2018, 01:53 PM

Glad I have the one I have

sickened1 · 6 March 2018, 01:53 PM

Never much of a fan for white dial.. well, except for 16570.

If it's anything like that pic in OP then it's an easy pass for me.

busytimmy · 6 March 2018, 01:56 PM

Pretty sure Rolex isn't Hublot. So I doubt this will happen.

Foxglove · 6 March 2018, 02:22 PM

Not gonna happen.
