Rolex explorer 2
I am going to try on the explorer 2 next week with the black dial. I was just wondering if anyone has any side by side pictures of the pair (white and black) on their wrists? Because I haven't tried the white dial version on yet either (been quoted a few months to wait for one to come in).
Thanks. |

I have the white (polar). Get the one you prefer. But it’s tough to know without seeing it in person.

I had thought polar but ended up black dial after seeing the, side by side. You need to see both in your wrist.

I went into the store thinking black and came out with white.

Both great watches, currently under valued comparing to other Rolex sports models. I think that the value will go up very soon so it's good investment too. I personally prefer the black dial. Good luck!

Well, on the Vintage Forum I can only encourage you to find a nice 1655.
(I’ve owned a black version of the newer Explorer II, and I found the dial too big and the hands way too thick/wide.) I flipped it within a week. Make sure you try it on.) |

I think there is no straight right answer for white or black explorer II. I own both dial colors (5 digits model) and love them equally. Try it in person to see which one you like more may be the best solution

I had to make the white/black decision 30 years ago and went with white just to have something different. It's been on my wrist regularly since then.
About a year and a half ago I decided I wanted to get a black face Explorer II. Now I swap them every other day. I say start with the white face and eventually own both. |

Not side by side but...
And for further comparison I got the 16570 because I preferred size of the hands and the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The white E2 is a bit 'dressy' in my opinion. Look good with a tuxedo.

My white Explorer II might be the least dressy Rolex I own, and it certainly should not be work with a tuxedo
