In the current Rolex lineup—— what is?
The EASIEST dial to read?? Curious to see some opinions. Thanks in advance.

To my eyes the Explorer 2 polar dial is the most legible dial in the catalogue. The Submariner is a close second

I can read the time on most watches.
Pick one you like. Or choose one you can't read the time on...as long as you like it who really cares except you?

Polar Exp2 was the first to come to mind.
The bold wider hands against the bright white dial really stands out, |

Probably the new line explorers, both I and II, would be contenders for this.

If you have good eyesight then they are all easy to read, not much use to produce a watch if you can't tell the time by looking at the dial.

Oyster Perpetual 11600, I have the Blue 3-6-9 (very legible night or day), but the 2nd pic (OP from the latest collection) with Black or White 'Sunburst'
dial is very legible IMHO, also both dials have great lume too |

The black faced Daytona definitely looks like a nightmare to read!

The Sub. The contrast with the black dial is hard to beat.

Explorer I and Sub ND. The cyclops makes the dial a touch harder to read.

The only complaints I've ever heard about were for Daytonas.
