Would you like to see an Explorer with a green dial?

airpeace · 18 January 2019, 01:53 AM

no

The Libertine · 18 January 2019, 01:53 AM

No - would blur the lines between it and the OP.

cbiggs · 18 January 2019, 01:59 AM

Explorer II? green dial with that orange hand would be pretty cool...

I like my Explorer how it is :)

Hub6152 · 18 January 2019, 02:00 AM

Definitely not.

Chadridv · 18 January 2019, 02:03 AM

hmmm. Noooo? I don't think so. there are a tons of shades of green. I actually think the sort of flat green of the 116718 might be cool. (could be wrong on that reference, but I'm talking about the YG GMT with Green dial) I'd have to see a mock up to really weigh in.

Hub6152 · 18 January 2019, 02:05 AM

Wouldn’t mind a white dial Exp though. HODINKEE did a mock up last year when they thought it might appear at BaselWorld and it looked superb!

Chadridv · 18 January 2019, 02:21 AM

too lazy to remove the GMT Hand and Font, but I do like this color combo!

Hub6152 · 18 January 2019, 02:26 AM

This was the mocked up white dial Exp. I actually really like it a lot!

beshannon · 18 January 2019, 02:26 AM

No

+1. Please no more green dial rolexes. Let invicta keep that look !

spoilsofwar01 · 18 January 2019, 02:33 AM

it wouldn't be an Explorer to me if the dial was Green, somethings are just best left alone. This is mine and its perfect in every sense.

spect · 18 January 2019, 02:36 AM

Hahaha it looks ........
To be Continued!!

That is actually very good looking. Well done!

mixxmaster · 18 January 2019, 02:41 AM

It doesn’t look so bad.

While I like this idea in theory, the black on white is an extreme level of contrast. IMO the current white dial OP and DJ are just about perfect, leaving little need to add a white dial Exp. Just my opinion, man.

SkeezerMcDark · 18 January 2019, 02:43 AM

pardon my ignorance, but how would the lume work with black indices? It seems that the lume would either be A). Non existant or B). Not very bright.

I like the look of the white dial with the black indices, but not sure this would work in the real world...would it?

I like it but only if the black lume glows as bright as the current model.

Actually despite liking it I agree it should be left as it is. This is mine and how I like them most anyway.

Well you've just dropped the Big One because this reference is virtually unbeatable.

Thanks - if I could only keep one from my collection this is it.

Tools · 18 January 2019, 02:48 AM

Nope... I don't do green.

Pauln · 18 January 2019, 02:57 AM

110% Noooo.

mgsooner · 18 January 2019, 03:09 AM

As far as a white dial Exp, alternatives to the black on white mockup above would be to simply lay the markers, hands and numerals filled with superluminova as they currently exist on the mk 2 Exp on top of a white dial, or have the 3-6-9 in white gold like the mk1 had.

dan993 · 18 January 2019, 03:37 AM

White yes, green noooooooo.
