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.

What's the best Noodler's pen? Do you have one that you like that works great for som kind of writing, please write a few lines?

I'm looking at the bottles and I like the design, I have seen the Goulet videos and right now I'm thinking about Apache Sunset, but for the end price - I have selections of Pilot, J. Herbin, Diamine, Rohrer and Klinger and many other for same or less. So - same thing here; what's your experience and is Noodler's something you like to use?
Now, my last sort of question here is of course if there are many other brands that are better or at least as interesting as Noodler? I have seen Monteverde drops and been intrigued to join in, but many of the pens have so-so reviews. Conklin?
So, please help me get acquainted to the American world of pens a bit and share your experiences, please! :)
