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).

Hi all,
my name is Francesco Pascoli, and I'm the founder, the owner and the only one craftsman of the Fatti di Cuoio enterprise!
I'm from Italy and I'd like to introduce myself and my job to the community. I'm a leatherworker ("Fatti di Cuoio" means "Made of leather") and I love leather in all its applications. I mostly like EDC and travelling stuff with a minimalist approach, so I try every time to adapt this "philosophy" to the products I make.
I'd like to bring to you some of my leather goods, you can find some more information in my website http://www.fattidicuoio.it/ (sorry, the most updated one is in Italian, but there is an older version in English here http://www.fattidicuoio.com/) and listen what do you think about them.
All my products are handmade by me, and I use exclusively Italian sourced Vegetable TannedLeather: I love the patina it took over time.
What else? Thank you for the attention and please feel free to ask everything you want.
Cheers
Francesco
