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).

'normal' watches
Misc drawer....
Also have a really nice Titoni Airmaster somewhere and a Glycine Combat 6 in a box that I am planning to sell.
At some point, I will probably add an large size Omega Polaris Chronograph and a Garmin Fenix 5S. As much as I'd love to get a Clerc Hydroscaph H1, I don't think I can justify the cost or find a 'cheap' one...
The Glycine only deserves a mention, it's not notable.

Even the Citizens are significantly better.... so is the pre-Invicta Combat 6 - to bad it's to small...
Key on Glycine is to look for the crown logo instead of the wings logo. Some of the pre-buyout watches are still floating around out there.
