There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I want a really good mixer for baking bread that doesn't come from KitchenAid. I don't know if such a thing exists, but I truly would like another option.
I also am searching for silicone tipped flatware that still has enough of an edge/ serration to cut soft things with the knife and with the fork, to poke through a strawberry or a sausage. I specifically want this so that I can cook in a nice All-Clad frying pan and use a fork and knife and not scratch the pan.
I want a magic toaster that I can control with my iPhone that doesn't cost $1000. Bonus points if it is also a microwave like the Advantium. This should have an actual thermometer in it that has been calibrated and displays real temperature inside the toaster.
I also would like a nitrous cavitation tool for making whipped cream that is specifically optimized for flavoring alcohol. (http://makezine.com/projects/make-41-tinkering-toys/nitrogen-cavitation/)
I would like to see a big Pink Himalayan sea salt cutting board. Really big is a plus.
I'd like to find a big french press made with double wall insulated glass that is also excellent.
I would like to buy shockingly rare spices and herbs that would be challenging to do without a group buy system. Examples include but are not limited to actual wasabi, juniper berries, citron, or hing.
I hope this community takes off, you have my two cents!
