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). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

My Arozzi desk + Ikea at present. I also have the Velocita Simulator but that's going to be in a different room once I get it setup for racing/flight sims. IKEA Gerton table with adjustable legs "floating" over the back of my Arozzi desk (each display mounted using an Amazon Single Monitor Stand arm). Front legs mounted back a bit to allow for the "floating" effect over the Arozzi.
This setup gives me more depth than the Arozzi by itself and allows me to have full view of the wide displays. The picture is deceiving... when you are setting at the desk you have a broad wrap of displays. Note the edge of the Arozzi desk. I purchased the "table edge protective foam" padding from Amazon and ran it the length of the front of the desk. Makes it very comfortable to rest my arms on the edge. Highly recommend this mod.
Center display: Acer 38” UltraWide QHD (3840 x 1600)
Left/Right displays: 2x Samsung UN40MU7000 40-Inch 4K LED TVs (3840 x 2160) Misc other stuff: Klipsch HD 1000 surround speakers (5x), Klipsch 12" sub, Denon AVR2300CI receiver, etc etc.) PC is a custom built water cooled setup (tower and external dual 240mm fan cooled radiator in a custom aluminum enclosure, runs silent).
Left side of pic but obsured is my Synology 3615xs NAS (96TB), Dell PowerEdge T430 dual 10 core XEON server, Triplite 3000 UPS, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals, Thrustmaster HOTAS, etc etc. Lots of misc stuff floating around.
Old setup: I had a much broader setup in the old house but had to move last minute to provide full time care for my father. Planning to move back to Austin and will be putting together a new setup then. 3x 42" Samsung 1080p displays in surround mode (so 5760x1080p. I still have the displays and will be pairing them in a dedicated racing/flight setup with my Arozzi Simulator:
