Some folks like the black, but I'm partial to the white dial... Especially after a bath.

jas55 · 21 January 2009, 05:46 PM

I like the white dial too

asadtiger · 21 January 2009, 05:57 PM

very elegant white dial

..I like the white expy II better..its like more variety than so many black dialed sports models...I likes :)

Omega_Precision · 21 January 2009, 06:45 PM

I like white too.

EXPII has a very low profile on the wrist. I believe the case back is flatter compared to the dive watches. Tried one on a year ago and it was very comfortable. Love that newspaper-style shot!

Singslinger · 21 January 2009, 07:31 PM

White is my pick too

vapalux · 22 January 2009, 02:37 AM

Yep . White looks the business.

Love the white! Always been a fan of white dials on watches of that style.

CPTL · 22 January 2009, 05:13 AM

White dials are cool.

G.J · 22 January 2009, 05:57 AM

I hope Rolex is watching. Those could be their best sellers. I'll take one of each

Honestly i don't think that they will ever introduce a YG explorer

However i am really curious to see if the clasps will be updated this year

Waiting for basel festival

Strap came from Watch Prince (20mm x 16mm Hadley genuine alligator with light padding). Buckle came from Strapped for Time (SS double deployant). Total cost was under $125, shipped.

mck22 · 22 January 2009, 07:22 AM

I like that explorer with the red and blue

f16570 · 22 January 2009, 07:27 AM

White for me. It is stunning.

DS/B MINI S · 22 January 2009, 08:16 AM

Yep, it is a Beauty. I'm wearing mine today

kelly56 · 22 January 2009, 09:13 AM

The white dial on the Explorer II is nice. I have a white dial Omega which I like a lot.

frostie · 22 January 2009, 09:35 AM

White dials are stunning

FLAJIM · 22 January 2009, 09:44 AM

My vote is for the white also......

Be Safe JIM

Road Warrior · 22 January 2009, 09:49 AM

I love the white dial! It looks a 1,000 times better than black IMHO!

Saxon007 · 22 January 2009, 10:01 AM

And now for today's history lesson...

The white-dial Explorer with the red/blue bezel is very similar to a GMT made by Rolex in 1954. It is estimated that less than 200 white dialed model 6542 GMTs were produced for Pan Am ground crews. You can read about it on pg 58 of Vintage Rolex Sports Models by Martin Skeet and Nick Ural.

Class dismissed.

I love my expy II polar!!!!! have to agree with you! its a beauty! and NO ONE has ever once thought it was a rolex...very low key..I like that. she is beautiful and slips right under the radar!

aleeboy · 22 January 2009, 10:46 AM

The white dial is stunning... and, she hides smudges on the glass so much better than the black dial
