im having a tough time deciding between these two watches:

SS Daytona
or
EXPII new model (ref 216570)

Cant wait to try the new EXP at my AD!

Anyone have any NEW info about the new EXP to share

kcmo · 24 August 2011, 05:51 AM

A Rolex with a white dial is my language!!!

DAYTONA ALL THE WAY!!!!

Rags · 24 August 2011, 05:52 AM

The new ExpII is bigger & more expensive. The word on the street is there will be a long wait to get one from an AD.

Personally I think the nicest looking white dial Rolexes are the Datejust II white face with Roman numerals, and the white face Milgauss.

Think these are nicer looking.

Good luck.

SS Daytona with 30% off will be around the same price like the EXPII, full retail

Where can you get one with 30% off?

EchoBlueUK · 24 August 2011, 05:58 AM

Out of the 2 i'd go daytona..too much orange on the new explorer for me.

Agreed! Get the Daytona. Or run out and get the current Explorer II. I love mine.

Local AD.....

When I bought my SUB116613, (almost 28% discount) I asked if same discount would apply for an SS Daytona... AFFIRMATIVE.

He was generous because (he thought) I was going to buy 2 watches at the same time...

smallcandle · 24 August 2011, 06:07 AM

I'd choose the ExpII simply to have a date feature. I'm aware that many, many members here feel a date is unnecessary, but I prefer to have it.

I used to own the EXPII, nice watch, really liked it

Cant wait to see the updated one

harvey · 24 August 2011, 06:18 AM

out the two...definately the new explorer...

RolexYM · 24 August 2011, 06:39 AM

ExpII if i were you. However, i like my TOG white dial: (Rolex makes a very nice white dial IMO)

is this the same spartan that is over at breitling source? if so welcome to TRF. i think the new explorer 2 white dial is the way to go.

ppaus · 24 August 2011, 10:53 AM

G'day...i was in the same situation last weekend. Deciding between new Exp II and Daytona. Daytona sang to me louder than Exp II so white Daytona is now reserved for me :)

Btw, my first post here so hello to all.

i think it's demo (not sure if thats the right term)

Michael M. · 24 August 2011, 12:56 PM

I've seen both & tried on both, & I'd go for the Daytona!

MortgageGuy · 24 August 2011, 01:27 PM

Explorer II (42mm) for me without a doubt, IMO this one will be worth the wait

Daytona will be changing in under 2 years with the ceramic bezel added to the TT next year and SS the following. This is of course IMO and I have no proof this would be the case, just a good assumption from what usually happens

BeekerMuppet · 24 August 2011, 11:46 PM

Exp II gets my vote

Rollie2011 · 25 August 2011, 12:16 AM

Have you considered a DJ II? White stick dial.
Around the same price as the Exp II and it really has some pop

eric23 · 25 August 2011, 12:17 AM

White Face Milgauss!

dalip · 25 August 2011, 12:37 AM

I'd go white dial milgauss also... Really miss mine.

You can always get a 16570 Exp II White Dial!

For the price of the new Exp II model, your funds could buy you both black and white dial versions, or something else!
