For any of you who ever thought WG looks like steel and you have been putting it off, let me tell you, you need to pull the trigger right now! the bezel just sparkles, the color all around specially the bracelet is so amazing to stare at, the weight...wow..I thought my Breitling was heavy, but this thing is heavy distributed evenly, I wore it all day and found myself feeling it constantly on my wrist...being reminded of how amazing it is without making my wrist tired.

Lastly for any of you with any doubt of purchasing from sellers on the forums, not in a million years did I think I would buy such an expensive item online, honestly I don't mind paying extra and getting exactly what I want, but after checking out references, finding the exact watch, year and everything I wanted, it was a no brainer. Great transaction with DavidSW, I think I have gotten better service from him then my AD...lol...seriously with all of the follow-up calls and going back and forth on email in a timely manner it has been a very good experience.

Now that, sir, is a beautiful watch. Congratulations!

Superb but why or why does Rolex not supply red chrono hands with that dial? I'd source a set of red hands and that will be the best looking Daytona around. Anyway, congratulations.

I have the same watch and it is truly amazing. I love that no matter how many grey market dials get put on SS Daytona's, the true essence of the WG Panda CANNOT be captured in a SS watch.

Enjoy your the fine watch!!!!!!!!!!

Lume colour Panda?

Very nice watch sir ! (and dial !)

Did Rolex change the lume colour on these Panda's recently ?

Got one of these Panda dials lying arround as well and noticed the colour of the lume in your nightshot looks a bit more blue-ish.
I would call the lume on mine green
The Panda dial I have here is about a year old, no idea when it leaved the factory though...


Could also be difference in charge, currently cloudy and a little dark here so charged it with a lightbulb. Will try to charge it with sunlight the next couple of days and take another pic!
