I really like the Exp II in white. The jubilee gives it a totally different look. I like it.

Thinking a sports watch should have more of a sports band. Oyster.

However it does not look bad as the exp II seems to have a lower profile than the GMT or or sub.

Wonder how the exp I would look on a jubilee, now that might look interesting.

It's ok, but the polished links don't look right to me.

Yeah, against the brushed bezel it doesn't quite look right. Personally I don't mind the GMT-II on a Jubilee.

I've been wanting to buy a SS Jub for my GMT2. I think it looks nice but for most would take some getting used to since we are all so used to seeing sports models with oysters.

That white dial is my next one. Where did the photo come from? you can't get that combo can you?

It is OK but, I would rather have the Oyster.

Not a great fan of Explorer 11, but I do prefer the white dial in that model hate jubilee bracelets.

The look ends up being too busy for a sport watch in my opinion......

Great photo - who did you steal it from?

White dial goes well on a YM, but a black dial is better on the EXP. Both look better with the Oyster. JMHO.
