My First White Dial!

I sold my black dial Explorer II a couple of months ago and immediately regretted it .... so .... got a white one to help me get over selling the black one

It is my first ever white dial watch and I love it picture taken just after it arrived this morning!

I love the white dial explorer II...I traded mine a while back but will definitely own one again. This one is definitely a classic though.

I wish I could wear a white dialed watch but they show gravy stains too much.

Au contraire, my friend. It's the black and dark dial watches that show up smudges and stains on the crystal.

On my Exp-II and Platty can hardly see any stains.
