Cream Rail dial, but with indices surrounded in black. In comparison, the white gold circled indices. Best, Nicolas ...

Nice. I've always been attracted to cream dials.

Maybe prefer the white gold surrounds but in reality due to reflection they often appear black at times anyways.

Thank you Nico in fact I was not aware of the indices difference

I’m aware of the rail dial and even considered one about 10 years ago but never clued into the indices, which are just as cool as, if not more so, the rail writing ✍️ Do they all share the indices 🤔

The most common is the white gold indices.

Ah, so most rail dials are white gold? That would explain why I never noticed it

I was unaware of the black indices or more likely have never noticed before. 😉

As others here have said, did not know (or notice) that some of these Explorer II’s were offered with black marker surrounds.
By: RabidManatee : December 21st, 2025-23:46
Formidable, as usual.

my pref. would be for the white gold around the indices, though.

I had both of them, and white gold surroundings are my preference as well.
