Ditto.

Black ....the orange really pops and I think it will be a more versatile watch. But it's a close call.

In any case, white for me as well!
The aesthetics and legibility on this dial is pure heaven.

OP - I hope you don't mind but I added a poll to this thread

siewmaiwatch · 8 October 2011, 04:11 PM

Very tough choice. I guess white for me since i already have a black face sub. Tough choice.

paolo14 · 8 October 2011, 04:27 PM

Coin flip! But I might go with the white dial this time since I already have a ss daytona & a sub-c both with black dials.

Kiddodoc · 8 October 2011, 11:19 PM

I would lean towards the white but would need to see the both in person first. Love the orange. I really did not like the ExpII prior to the new reference. The modifications will lift the popularity quite a bit.

gaopa · 8 October 2011, 11:24 PM

Before buying my classsic EXP II I tried both and then there was no question for me, the white dial! Cheers, Bill P.

Welshwatchman · 8 October 2011, 11:33 PM

I've seen neither in the flesh yet but I'm drawn towards the white dial version.

GED · 8 October 2011, 11:46 PM

White.

Rolex Junky · 8 October 2011, 11:49 PM

Once you go black......

Gerardus · 8 October 2011, 11:51 PM

The new EXII for me definitely BLACK

Sixxgrand1 · 9 October 2011, 12:05 AM

If the black faced version did not have those stubby looking, black stemmed / white gold hands then I would choose black. But because of yet another 'hands issue' I would have to go with the white model. At least the hands are the same color from stem to tip - better lume as well.

Rollie2011 · 9 October 2011, 01:32 AM

White for me. It just goes so well with this piece

z32turbo · 9 October 2011, 06:07 AM

I prefer the white dial.

TSW · 9 October 2011, 06:08 AM

Prefer the Black one!

fleabag · 9 October 2011, 06:25 AM

White deffo !!

DiamondJack · 9 October 2011, 06:42 AM

Both look very cool, but for me, I would definitely go for the White dial.

But if i analyse this preference, it's probably because I have loads of watches with black dials and there are far less options out there when it comes to white dial options so no question for me given my existing collection.

But if I was buying my first or second watch, I would be drawn more to the black dial.......

rfknauss · 9 October 2011, 09:06 AM

Erling ...... I think both are stunning watches!

Rags · 9 October 2011, 09:18 AM

Black Dial for me..

RolexGMTman · 9 October 2011, 10:06 AM

Le Black for me please...............

gmtm2 · 9 October 2011, 06:40 PM

form me exp II is better with white dial!

Trurolexer · 9 October 2011, 06:49 PM

Black.

tomchicago · 9 October 2011, 11:36 PM

black one, but both look too big to wear with a suit. white one is very nice but looks a lot like the prior model (orange hand excepted). the black is much more of a change from the prior model.

sea-dweller · 10 October 2011, 01:10 AM

Black.

RRGHOST1 · 10 October 2011, 04:55 AM

Another vote for white !

Puffy · 10 October 2011, 05:37 AM
