rolex explorer 2

white or black dial nicer?

My vote goes to the white. I used to own the Omega GMT Great White, but i always thought the White Explorer 2 is far more classic. Here are both watches side by side:

Thanks but I think their prices are the same as the Casio Boutique.
The GW-A1100 should be cheaper than G-Factory prices, but the MTG S1030 should be more or less about the same. Bencoolen 3D had the green GW-A1100 but it was OOS when I was there on Saturday.

Hi guys, newbie here! I'm looking for a mid range watch for my 21st bday, preferably less than 1k. Looking for a classy and clean cut automatic watch with leather strap. Any good brands and models to recommend? Ty ^^

the lower bottom half of the orange GMT hand on the black maxi dial explorer II is black, lending to a "floating" hand effect, which is more interesting, imo.

i used to think white dials are easier on the eye, but when done right, high contrast black/dark dials can look sporty and adds character.

in fact, certain iconic models are better identified by certain dial colours eg.
- black for the speedy moonwatch & rolex sub,
- blue petite tapisserie for the ap ro.
- orange for the doxa dive watch.

take the case of the yachtmaster. it was available in silvery-grey platinum dial until the recent introduction of the dark blue dial which certainly attracts the eye more & makes the former anemic by comparison.
