I'd really like a white dial, and I love the matted finish on the DateJust. But I've already got a Wimbledon. Is the white dial on the Explorer II the exact same matted/lacquered finish as the DateJust?

Not quite sure which Generation EXP II we're talking, but both have gloss lacquered dials.

I don’t believe Datejust dial is matte. Mine is gloss.

Really different watches, however you can’t go wrong with either. Both awesome. I love my white dial DJ.

White dial DJ is on my short list. I think it looks great. I'm leaning towards a rose/steel white dial. Looks like a great combination.

You already have a sweet DateJust!

Explorer II gives you an awesome dual time tool watch!

The Polar Explorer II is a great watch. I like it better than any DJ.

jackminny15 · 11 April 2024, 10:54 PM

The biggest difference to my old eyes is the hands, not the dial. The Explorer II hands are outlined in black, making the watch eminently readable with just a glance. The gold hands on the Datejust, conversely, do not contrast as much with the dial. I find the Explorer II is significantly easier to actually tell time on.

The EXP 2 dial is a white lacquered finish with Matt black outlines on the hands and markers.

I'd vote Exp 2 white dial a beautiful tool watch.

I have a white dial TT DJ41 and a Explorer II Polar. I prefer the Explorer II and it gets way more wrist time.

travisb · 12 April 2024, 12:57 AM

Exp II all the way. The white dial really pops with great contrast between the black surrounds on the markers and brilliant orange hand.

Polar Matt, DJ definitely a brighter glossier dial....
