I decided that my next watch would be an Explorer 2. I'm just on the fence about which one I should get (White or Black dial). I'm a more casual type guy and dresser if that makes a difference either way. Both are F serial and priced with in about $500 of each other (I won't mention which is which as not to bias anyone's opinion). Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Also, I already own 1603 DJ, 1803 DD, 16013 TT DJ, 16220 DJ, 16610 Sub Date and 114200 AK. Thanks and cheers!

Go black.

tkerrmd · 29 July 2014, 12:50 PM

White pops more, black looks tougher, love them both I'm no help!

Alfredo. · 29 July 2014, 12:55 PM

Beautiful watches Adam. Wish I was able to get both.

Coin toss but white for me

seand442 · 29 July 2014, 01:20 PM

Once you go black, you never go back.

But seriously, I like the black dial.

CWIN · 29 July 2014, 01:35 PM

It would also be a coin flip for me but if push came to shove I would go white dial.

nick c · 29 July 2014, 01:38 PM

White

Soleless Shoes · 29 July 2014, 01:39 PM

Flip a Coin. It'll help you through this tough decision

Black dial 16550

T01 · 29 July 2014, 02:14 PM

Though I'm a fan of both, I'd go for the white, little more differentiation against the other sport models!

Clutch Cargo · 29 July 2014, 02:16 PM

I have a polar, and it's the best watch I have ever owned for reading the time. I've had a couple of people who owned a black dial tell me that they now wish they had bought a polar instead.

ess45 · 29 July 2014, 02:36 PM

I decided not to choose.

Kadhytia · 29 July 2014, 02:39 PM

I just got black. I am not into white dialed watches preferably.

adamlea · 29 July 2014, 03:12 PM

Black, of course.

jamesbondOO7 · 29 July 2014, 03:13 PM

Black. White is boring.

safeword · 29 July 2014, 03:50 PM

I went black, only because it was a much better deal at the time. I had wanted white. I still do, but I love my watch. I don't think you'll regret either decision. It's my first rolex and I couldn't be happier.

roklee · 29 July 2014, 03:59 PM

White

Spartan54 · 29 July 2014, 04:23 PM

Love the black

pfg1 · 29 July 2014, 04:32 PM

Black 16570

White 216570

MikeBuzzsaw · 29 July 2014, 04:33 PM

if you already have a black submariner... get a white explorer so you have one in each color?

rg9390 · 29 July 2014, 04:34 PM

Tough choice. Have you tried it on?

You might get the answer if you tried both on.

I am leaning towards a white, but I would definitely try both on first.
