Panda or this ?

[Abre]

Hello fellow member so this is my Daytona panda next to a bvlgari chronograph automatic that i have just purchased and I’ve never seen anything like it.
I really like the look of it.
Price aside and name aside which do you think looks more beautiful and what do you think about the piece?
If they were the same price or would you go for the DAYTONA or the BVLGARI ? And
All comments are appreciated.
Thank you

STILL the Daytona... by a country mile.

Sorry if that's not what you want to hear (read).

Enjoy your watches anyway.

Daytona every time and I've not been shy about my thoughts on the Daytona's shortcomings

My mommy told me "if you have nothing nice to say, do not say anything at all"

Peace out.

This is literally EXACTLY what came to my mind when I read the OP.

I like the bracelet. The dial is pretty nice. The bezel is awful.

For me, it's still the 116500LN.

If you got one I think it will grow on you .
I actually have it now for a couple of hours and the dial is mesmerizing .

The Bulgari, For the Dial and bracelet. But the bezel, although interesting is not as esthetic pleasing as the Rolex in this case.

Between the two, I would have to choose the Daytona.

The bezel is terrible.

[Laostuh]

Not a fan of the bracelet or bezel. 116500LN Panda for me.

I think it is not a fair question in TRF

Yes the Bulgari is a classic and I love the blue. Personally speaking however, the non-functional logo engraved bezel is not to my taste preference. I prefer functional number scales on chronograph bezels in general.

This was my first reaction too. As I continued to read the thread, I realized the OP is asking a serious question.

It's not so bad that you have to protect the soldiers but it's close.

[webble1]

From the dial perspective it looks much more legible than the Daytona (never tried one in the real world though)
Like the hidden clasp but the bezel would not be for me - just a big bold bunch of letters that doesn’t really do anything for the functionality.
Also not a fan of the end link as it looks a bit slabby in your pic.

That said you like what you like

[Jack T]

For me, the bezel kills the deal.

I was prepared to like the Bulgari, but that bezel is horrid!

[rmlovett1]

The dial is nice on the Bvlgari, buts that’s it. The rest is no comparison, aesthetically, to the Daytona. (IMO)
The BV bezel is pretty garish, the case shape is pretty bulky, & definitely a scratch magnet, but the bracelet seems ok.
The Daytona is definitely more pleasing to the eye in every aspect…..Again….IMO.
If you prefer one over the other….that’s all that matters….wear what you like

[Abre]

I’ll be fully hones with you guys, I actually like it more than the Daytona , i know i will get a lot of fire for this opinion but i gave a collection with more than 35 pieces (you can see some of them in my older posts) and tbh this bvlgari is special in my eyes or maybe it’s just the honey moon .
Btw it’s thinner than the Daytona .

Good for you OP for finding a watch you like so much in addition to your Daytona.

Personally, that bezel on the Bvlgari looks absolutely awful and I wouldn't wear that watch even if Bvlgari paid me to do so. Its a shame as the rest of the watch (dial and bracelet) looks OK to me.
