I personally owned a White dial 216570 but flipped it after few months where I getting bored with it. Perhaps  black dial will stay longer. As usual, buy the 1 u like the most.

Practically it is more easy to read time from black dial rather than white dial.

But being the only Rolex white sport watch. It's unique and I still remember when I read its national geography magazine advertisements about 30yrs ago, it was really meant for explorer in Artic, Antarctica , and Mountain adventure.

So many other models in black dial. This one is beautiful in white.

Black is rather safe and common. White is unique

White dial is unique because most Rolex dials are black, I would go for white dial personally.

Back then I used to love black dials, however recently after searching and finally decided to purchase the 16570 I went for the white dial and I absolutely love it. The E2 IMHO is best with the white dial as it is easily legible in the dark and the RED hand pops in contrast.

Not sure if you heard of this but in Cantonese a white rolex is not a good thing (??)
That being said I still prefer the white face

Black in 40mm, White in 42mm for me! Might say the opposite tomorrow. Just to say that you cannot go wrong with either.

IMHO. 16570 White. 216570 Black. 40mm white makes it looks a bit larger than life. 42mm black makes it look sleek.

I'll put my vote for black dial.  Black has more "sporty" look to it
