I would have said white dial in a second a year ago, but I owned one and could never love it. I think it is stunning in pics, very photogentic, but the black looks better in person.

FWIW, everytime these polls start a new watch is NOT far behind people.

Black of course. The white looks good in pics but I think it would drive me crazy having to look at it on my wrist all day.

Welcome back, Tyler. We missed you the past few days. Thought you might have gone off to camp or something.

Both!!!!
I have an internal conflict on the matter.

I like the new white ones, but I LOVE the old black ones.

One of my least favorite Rolex models, but I guess if some totalitarian government forced me to wear one, I'd prefer the black dial.

Sorry guys, I'd have to go with the white.
In my opinion, the Explorer is a watch that is very much different than the sub or SD.I think that the white dial compliments the difference.

I 100% agree. I was all ready to buy a white faced one and then I put it on. Needless to say I do not own one.
