I want an Explorer II and am leaning for the Johnny Cash " Black Dial"...Anyone have one , and what are your opinions ..Thanks

stmoore · 8 December 2020, 12:43 PM

Deep question

Many people have an explorer II with a black dial. What exactly is your question? Johnny Cash?

collarcity · 8 December 2020, 12:49 PM

No more nicknames.

JohnGT3RS · 8 December 2020, 12:49 PM

Where are these names coming from?

Alfredo. · 8 December 2020, 12:50 PM

Genuinely don't know what watch you're referring to.

Lamontsanders · 8 December 2020, 12:52 PM

Had a black one and it was good but sold it after 2 years. Got a white one 6 months ago and that is a different story. Vastly prefer the white after owning both. The white is excellent in this reference.

Also...Johnny Cash?

Johnny Cash was such a great singer and was so dang cool, I wouldn’t mind something as cool as an Explorer being nicknamed for him I guess.

RJRJRJ · 8 December 2020, 01:03 PM

This guy is trolling. He is in the other thread about nicknames "LOLing" about them and now he made his own new thread to pile on.

That's a pretty quick way to be shown the door.

Ref 216570 or 16570?

Curious about why you preferred the white, please.

The white dial pops with the black indices and hands, which makes it very easy to read and visually different than other sports Rolex.

The black in the 6 digit is nice. With the dial being matte, the hands pop too.

So, 5 digit, prefer the polar, 6 digit, the black. 5 digit, the case is smaller, so I can pull off the polar. In the modern reference, being 42mm and the fat hands, it looks like a clock on my arm. The black calms it down a bit.

Maybe I'm crazy.

Johnny Cash ...Starbucks ... Bart Simpson ....

Really going down the drain now !!

Thanks! Good review. I’m told the black wears smaller, which may be the reason.

I tried on a polar 5 digit some time back. Shoulda bought it

I’m just so used to black dials, I was scared off by it not working with dark suits etc.

The nickname posts are getting out of hand lately - its got to stop!!!

Oyster Sauce · 9 December 2020, 02:50 AM

Both the black and polar Exp II's are awesome. I think it boils down to your preferences and collection.

If you already have a/multiple black-dialed sports watches, the Polar is a nice addition for variety.

If you are looking for a one-and-only Rolex sports watch, the black is probably more versatile. Best wishes
