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).

Bought this watch a few years ago , I needed something flat, wide, and black...as black as night. For low cost of $20 used, it fit the bill perfectly. I kinda call it “The Black Panther” which is not its official name but with its all-black design it makes sense. The watch features an ion-plated black stainless steel case and bracelet, black dial, and decorated with a lone genuine diamond hour marker at 12 o’clock which sparkles just enough to attract a glimmer of attention. With solid links on the bracelet this watch fits perfectly around my wrist and dare I say looks and feels sexy as it peeks out from my sleeve. It has excellent weight and balance never needing little adjustments like many of my other light weight watches with bracelets. And yes, it keeps great time.
