If the dial is larger, yes,but on the same size dial,absolutely not.

Would I buy one ? Why ? I already have one ...

I like the Maxi Dial so I would generally say yes, although I am not right now planning on buying the Explorer II.

Not a fan of the maxi-dial---

But a 19" diameter maxi like that on my screen :thumbsup

That would make a great wall clock


Great look Jocke

Great work Jocke,

Would I buy it? Dunno, I'm just hooked on the things, I'll buy whatever they tell me to buy, anything except the YM2 that is,

I dont think the Maxi Dial has the same impact on a white dial. The black dials is where you notice the Maxi......

I think the White Exp II is fine just the way it is.

Will buy YES! Especially if they also make the hour hand larger as well. The Lumination in low light conditions on the White Dial Explorer II is probably the worst I have seen on any Rolex Sport Watch, so the Maxi Dial is a much needed improvement.

Agreed!! Never a big fan of the maxi dial 'cause I think the dial starts to look cluttered with more luminova and less of the stunning WG or YG surrounds.

The Exp-II looks great as it is!!
