because of the WG rings and hands, basically.
the cream is a premium, naturally.

Rolex Explorer II, how do you like it? Milky or Creamy?

16550 / 16570: Forget the Collector thing, just let your heart speak. The creamy dial is extraoridinary, in terms of subtlle nuances. Now the milky dial is not bad, either. The lacquer Roelx used gives a feeling of depth which is also remarkable. What is ...
Crema!

the creamy, I find that it's very delicate as nuance, less immediate rather the white one, I would say that is a dial you don't look at the time in a while, but you have to "read" the hours dedicating a moment more than the high contrast "black and white"...
Can I take both? LOL

Sorry amanico if I am the "noise" in your survey! ok, fine! if I have to choose, the cream rail dial will be my take :) enjoy either in good health
Let me guess, too thick fonts on the bezel?

But cannot compare it to the 2 new classics you showed us. The latest has more advanced materials and development in materials used. Or perhaps it's too orange? Compare it to Basel 2015 introductions of many, quite palatable, no? At least it's not a "smar...
Not a smartwatch. ;)

Naaah, it is the blend of styles, the anachronsim which disturbs me. The big orange 24 hours hand of the 1655, the thick font of the 16550, and the dial borrowed to the 16570. Best, Nicolas
Yes, Sir.

I stayed in Paris, so no Basel for me, but I closely followed the novelties. I already have some strong favourites. Best, Nicolas
very nice side by side...

Very nice to see both side by side. The bezel font on the creme is more appealing to me, but is more appropriate on the creme and would be too much on the milk. The milk gets it's distinctiveness with the black hands and details on the hour dots. If you c...
They are both charming.

The collector thing does have an influence as the cream is far less available and at a strong premium. So the solution is to love the one you can find then dress it up with a nice leather strap and enjoy the white dial. But the cream will always be the cr...
Finally a side by side ...

Been waiting for this! What can i say, i like 'em both! The creamy version has a more subtle charm. The white one with its lacquered surface (which i find really fascinating because it's so elegant) has a more pronounced contrast. The creamy one, more rel...
Right...

I bought it in 1991 hoping my memory doesn't cheat me :-)
