wadan Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi to all Found this Gen Picture on Joyful Collection , Strangely,, the outer rim of the hour markers does not appear to be black , in fact it is Gunmetal grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's the direct, strong light exposure. All modern white Explorer II's have black hour markers. It's the "glossy", shiny material used on the markers that creates the visual effect. There is a shade of grey on those markers though, but I can assure you that all the white rep dials are WAY off. Unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've seen the early white dialed Explorer II's with silver/gunmetal surrounds. These would be from the early 80's and the dial would still say 'Swiss- T<25'. These are the same dials that turned the cream color and are so expensive these days because they are such a collectors item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the "Ivory Dial" ExpII which is ultra rare and gaining value every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
