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...

I don't carry a big knife everydag, so I would like to make a difference between what I literally carry or wear EVERY DAY and EVERY WEEKEND.
I wish I could express myself as easy or easy going as you guys, but my native tongue is Flemish/Dutch. So I guess I have to describe everything with the American vocabulary "I Carry Everyday"...
Here we go:
ON THE LEFT: what I carry every day from top to bottom:
- necklace with a 'twist' I bought in Curaçao (which represents the many paths of life)
- my first aid and super compact Seeoo 'pince nez' reading glasses (I'm 48-Y old you see...)
- an ordinary nail clipper with a piece of paracord to find it a little bit easier
- my small clip on / pocket Deejo knife
- my old Zippo Original Replica lighter (which I noticed is on Mass Dropp these days :-)
- paracord bracelet in red because I have some fetish with red accents
- dental gloss
- own made key hanger with leather and 'a slice of wood'...
- my Moleskin notebook
- Rotring fountain pen which I'm very fond of because Rotring doesn't make this anymore
- self made cash coin bag
- 20-Y old Breitling Avenger (which still works BTW)
- compact Secrid Wallet Case for cards and folding money
- Japanese Midori Travelers's Notebook (which is made in Thailand)
- pill case for my food supplements (and Viagra in case needed ;-)
- that thing you call with and go on the internet too!!!
ON THE RIGHT: what I carry every weekend from top to bottom:
- Fjällräven Backpack (maybe a little bit old fashioned and not always very practical)
- Victor Inox Multitool (my compact toolbox on the go)
- Andy Wood Knife (made by hand - on order - not to show off, but rather exclusive if you ask me)
- an ordinary Led Lenser flashlight (I've seen Massdrop has very interesting alternatives these days :-)
- my self composed first Aid Kit
I hope my contribution was worth it. Good luck guys!
