Thanks Travis. I'm really really happy and excited with the purchase. I'm already hungry for the second. 15300 or diver on bracelet. :)

Thanks guys. As some have suggested, I switched the straps around for a better fit as the buckle was digging into my wrist.

Great looking Panda! Congrats Sandro. Btw, did you have any issues with the Canadian customs? You can PM me about any details if you prefer.

I switch the straps to attach the other way ...so long on the short side/short on the long side

It wears way more comfortably this way

Huge congrats on an absolute beauty.

The diver + bracelet will be ideal next. Bracelet is transferable between the two.

Thanks Dalip.

I switched the straps and it fits really well and much more comfortable. Someone should contact AP to let them know.

I'm looking at the 15300 or diver with bracelet for number 2.

Does anyone know why it's called a Panda?

Thanks for the great close ups. Wear it in excellent health.

Amazing watch, I dream of the day I can get a FedEx package with an AP inside it.
Enjoy looking down at your wrist 1000 times a day.
