White Dials Is it me, or are they not white?

[serpentine009]

Those of you with white dials, do yours actually appear as bright as the marketing photos? I am struggling with mine, as they appear almost silver. Not sure if it's my eyes or not.

Specifically, SkyDweller & Tudor Chrono.

Does not seem to be the case on Daytona, Datejust, DayDate.

I think Rolex calls the dial "intense white" on the website.

What do you see?

Apologies for large photos, cropping to meet size limitations forces a zoom in.

I do own a white 36mm Datejust which is very pure white... But i've also owned but no longer is 36mm OP white. But it wasn't as white (off white or eggshell white) as I liked so I sold it. Rolex makes different shades of the same color and white dials are no different I think.

I question whether this has a slightly silver tone or in some lights it appears slightly creamy. Either way, it’s a white dial :)

You already alluded to it, but I feel that my Datejust is pretty perfectly white.

Looks white to me.

yes. white dials are white.

Well, there are many "shades of gray".

Skydweller has more of a cream white tone to it but the Exp II is definitely a bright vibrant white.

The white dial of the TT Sky Dweller is supposed to shimmer and change hue depending on the incident lighting. The Explorer II Polar has a true white dial. It can sometimes glow blue but that's the lumes, not the dial surface.

My Exp II Polar was a harsh stark white. Too white.

I agree that there are shades of white, but I am comparing to how it's marketed, not across models. The white on the SkyDweller looks nothing like the marketing photo.

There’s No contrast between the 24 hour dial and the main dial. But in real life there is. That’s all maybe I’m just being cranky.

my 116500 is the epitome of a white dial

Most look pretty white to me with one cream which to me isn’t white

It sure doesn't for the TT white one (I looked on the website). The real thing is much more interesting and even when the dial is lit to be a pure flat white, the 24 hour disk is off white which gives a bit of contrast to the dial and for me makes the 24h scale easier to read at a glance.

My white skydweller had a slight silver tone to it in some light.
