PPP (Panda Pics Please)

Okay, I am one sick person, but got my diver, and already looking for another AP to add to the collection . Panda is really sticking out to me.

Give me pros/cons. Read there were complaints with comfort of strap

All of you enablers are making my life very difficult

Heru is looking to sell a piece to make room for that RO Skeleton. Maybe you can pick up his Panda?? Enabling at its best... two birds with one stone!

Hey wait a minute.

I was the first one to recomend he sell the Panda.

If he does, I think I should get the first shot at it.

Really depends on the audience

The comfort question entirely depends on your wrist size and shape. If it's flat top and bottom then you'll be fine. If your wrist is rounder... well it looks good! The whole DD module question is blown way out of proportion. It's a tried and true platform that's finished by AP. I've never heard of a failure - ever.

It appears with the extremely large demand, that they have all gone into hidding.

Can you really blame them for being so scared?

Thomas should be asleep, so it's safe for them to come out for a little while

They only make so many in one given year.

Looks like you might need to get in line.

Mmmm pandas!!!!

Always wanted one and still long for one badly... Just so odd however, that I've added 5 pieces to my collection since saying I want one, yet still no panda?!?

Every time I see my buddies I drool, but I guess with the crazy ap prices going up, and my rubber clad , it satiates my hunger for one somewhat...

My advice is if you can get one for a decent deal pick it up. They are in demand and becoming 'scarce', well relative to crazy asking prices now...

The days of acquiring ap roo's for under 12 are long gone :/
