Yeah, the panda seems to be one of those watches that is either hated or loved. I'm guessing more were in your camp since it was discontinued a couple of years ago. Not sure what it is, but it just does it for me!

The watch looks good, although I prefer a blue dial rather than blue hands.

Great purchase "theyare". Pictures don't do the Panda justice at all. I've always wanted the "Reverse Panda" but it's so hard to come by.

That is nice.

Yeah, I have a hell of time capturing watches for good pics, particuarly when there's a black watch and white watch right next to each other. Probably has a lot to do with crappy p&s cam.

about 12.25mm from memory. I've tried it on a couple times and it's a thick watch


Oh wow. I must say that I'm surprised. The pics look quite deceptive, then.

Just get the JL reverso and be done with it, you know its what you really want.

But if your brave try and find a vintage Gruen curvex. Much cheaper but very slick.

i like that GP more than a regular reverso. sometimes i find the reversible face a little gimicky but i still like the watch. GP's dials of late i don't find as classic.

I agree with you. I think the reversible face is a little gimicky too. That's why I like the Gruen. Even more classic just get the manual wind must de cartier 70's model which is a very reasonably priced classy timepiece. Tell me if you dont know the one I'm talking about and I can post a photo of mine.
