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.

BTW: Have you noticed that Massdrop's "Related Links" (see below) aren't related to this thread? Twenty links, one watch.
Being a lesser known brand, I would love to see MD do a drop of their watches, and a DS Action Diver in particular, to increase their recognition and also to give us great Swiss timepieces at MD prices, like they did with the Hamilton.
