White dial Rolex.
There was a post some time back discussing about white dial Rolex. How is it being under appreciated and all.
The Milgauss and the Explorer 2 came into the discussion. I wonder ... ...
Is there any model that we would prefer the white dial version more than the black?
Better yet, a black dial model that we would love to see it in white.
Like this? Careful! this might be a fake and a high chance it is.
I'm just to illustrate a point here about white dial. That's all. Please don't go for this watch.
So ... ... any comment on a favourite white dial that doesn't live under the shadow of of its black dial sibling?

Good timing!
95% of my watches are black dial. Yet, over the last couple of months I have become more and more taken with the idea of a white dial Rolex. I think any collection needs variety and I can see that whilst most seem to prefer black dial, there is always som...
Aaah the creamy rail dial!
Happy to know that you're on the hunt for one, my friend. An awesome and subtle watch. Best, Nicolas.
Yes...i think i must start a hunt...
I have three vintage and one modern target for 2011. Modern target is the DSA US....hopefully in the bag On vintage, the 16550 Cream, the 1680 metres first. And then of course, the impossible grail.....the 5517 with full provenance. hahahahahaha...i even ...
Exciting list.
1680 Meters first, you mean the Red? Won't be too hard to get it. 16550 is abit more difficult to find in perfect condition and complete, but it is " playable ". The TT DSA US is in the bag, indeed. As for the 5517, now that is a defy... Best, Nicolas.
Defy me, eh?
Yes...i mean the red 1680...full papers etc..... hard but not impossible.... the 16550...full and complete...hard but not impossible.... 5517...perfect no-issues...... can certainly be done....just a price issue. We have to have goals!! And plans. And luc...
Goals, plans and luck... That sounds familiar to me. :)
Aaah the price issue... Best, Nicolas
'm very hapy with my White Explos 16570 and 16550.
These are my 2 white dialed Rolex, and love them a lot. As for a White GMT... Hmmm, not sure. I see very well what you're referring about, I'm nt a expert, but I would stay away from these White 6542s. A very controversial watch, to say the least. Now, IF...
I still can't stomach the cream dial, too rich for my blood.
But I would love to see a 16550 or 16570 with caramel index I can dream, right? Let me see I can photoshop one ... Best Tyler
The dial is much more subtle than that, Tyler.
I saw some dlearer ones, with strongly patined indexes. Cool, too! Best, Nicolas.
Arrgh ... here comes the devil's temptation!
I gotta get away from the computer before it is too late. I sense the fang are growing and getting closer ... ... now where's the garlic when need it. Rgs Tyler

I have to choose white dial, that would be New Explorer II is fascinates me, but I have to see in flesh best, Eddy
this remembers me a discussion I used to have with a watch collector in Biel 5 years ago
A friend of my uncle who used to collect the early gmt master and the mid 60's gmt master told me that the white dialed ones were made for panam commercial pilots. I do remember when colored ad from the late 50's-early 60's with that watch being the offic...
That is my favorit white dial...!
...might become mine one day. (Is the one on the picture yours. .?) So far due to my preference towards white dials, do I own a Daytona and a TurnOGraph with white dials. Best Hans
