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 relaxed. The white one, raring for an adventure.
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever warm up to the new upsized Explorers. The proportions just arent elegant. The indices i think are too big vis a vis the bezel. And the hour markers on the bezel because of its thickness doesn't work with that particular font. They should've just introduced a totally new explorer (exlorer 3 anyone?).
Thank you, Nico. The side by side made me appreciate their charms relative to each other. It is a richer appreciation than just a standalone viewing of these pieces.
BEst,
