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).

You wrote that this is the first watch of 2018. Just curious, how were you able get a Raven Trekker? Used?
I like the band a lot.
You like the watch band or leather band? I assume the watch band which is from Andrea with Martu leathers. That Argentinean leather smell is soooooo addicting! I want to order more just for the new leather smell lol.
Yes, I was referring to the watch band. Thanks for letting me know of Martu Leather. Wonderful looking straps at terrific prices. Very nice.
(your wrist band is nice, too)
And Andrea is awesome. She offers the bands and also does custom size of the band. Real easy to work with. Plain shipping takes about a month (to TX) to get here using the free or cheaper shipping, I forget. I ordered this band on black Friday and just got them in earlier this week. I recommend paying for express if you want it quicker lol. But if you are like me and have bands to switch around a bit and can wait, you can do that as well. :D
