Yeah, it happened to me before. Not a big deal.

Took it to RSC NYC, out of warranty, and they fixed it without any issues (no charge).

You DO NOT have a panda dial, you have a white dialed 116500LN.

When has a panda had white inner eyes???

I have added a detailed explanation of a true panda dial and pictures of an actual panda and an actual panda dial.

Please understand....people incorrectly claiming the 116500LN white dial is a panda dial is a massive pet hate of mine!

Whilst I’d be annoyed personally, it’s an easy fix. I’ve had them come of my AP in the past.

But calling a non panda dialed watch a panda is just wrong

No, I meant that it's a pusher, not a "top crown" since we're on the topic of terminology.

Its not a Panda AND being the pusher is falling off and its a grey purchase, there is no telling what he has. Maybe a Chinese Daytona.....

That’s what it was referred to in the past....many will say its a technicality....today the 116500 may be close enough, so many are referring to it as a Panda. Maybe we need to relax and lighten up...it’s fun stuff! The name looks like it’s sticking....we’ll see. It doesn’t bother me at all.

Nah. A 116500 isnt a panda dial. The term is just used in this situation by people trying to pose and be cooler than they are.

Wow, this is quite a thread! I’m just glad no one used “their” instead of “they’re.”
