Wanted one for a long long time. And always leaning for the white
Put my name with two ADs tail end of last year.
Got a call in Feb for a noir. I went with it since there were news of it being discontinued and the EX2 will be harder to get. After wearing it, I can now understand why the noir has its legion of followers.

And couple of weeks later, the other AD called me for a polar!



I don’t think it’s necessary to give a verdict which is nicer. I think the choice of white vs black depends a lot on what other watches you have in your collection

Had the white dial a year and decided to trade for a black dial.
I like the nod to the 1655;)

Curious but does anyone know if the white dial has white gold indexes and hands like the black dial?

Like the size and proportions of my 16570 black BUT..

The hands- especially the hour hand are wider and more readable on the 216570, especial in low light

Awaiting blizzard in Cali mountains. Guess the Explorer Polar is in its true element!
The wearer might not be though 🤣
