Explorer 2.

Hi,
Which would appear to wear bigger,the white or the black?
Also could anyone tell me the thickness?
Any pic's would be great.

Thanks in advance...

I think on anything, white is going to look bigger than black.

The Explorer II is exactly 12 mm thick.

The white appears bigger than the black.

I have both, and it is a constant struggle to decide which one to wear ;-) As I write this I have the white on my wrist. I've always liked the white better, until I bought the black one...

The white is more unique since it is one of very few white dialled Rolex Professional models.

Best,

The white Exp2 is definitely my favorite Rolex sports watch. It's also the least recognizable which is either a plus or minus depending on your perspective.
