some say that the panda hands are confused with the white dial and have no readability, it is totally false. If at some point when seeing the time they appear white with just a gesture of a millimeter of the hand, they turn black, since they capture the light from the environment very well. This test is indoors, outdoors the black edges are always there. You have to have the watch and test it and you will see that the readability is perfect and very good. I have more trouble seeing the time with my Rolex Submariner 16610 than with the Tudor Panda.

How's the sub dial visibility when the snowflake hand passes over it? This looks like a problem but not having seen one in the metal, I might be wrong.

Nice watch OP

I assume the hands have white hold surrounds ...

In the second picture they look black.

I noticed this same phenomenon a couple of years back when the meteorite GMT was showing up in photos here.

It's a great looking watch. Thanks for the pics OP.

Thanks for the information. I am planning on checking it out at the AD when they have one I can look at. The black dial works better for me and I do like the Bund strap, that is how I bought it. I have other Tudor bracelets that will fit. Congratulations on your watch.

Any hour hand shaped like that should be visible from the moon

HogwldFLTR · 15 April 2021, 10:10 PM

I'd have no issue with the hands!!! It's a great looking watch and I love the legibility of it!!!

I love the white dial. Waiting to see it in-person.

It's not my picture of the new chronograph but I've been on about this obscuration issue of the subdial by the snowflake hour hand since the 2017 chronograph introduction after seeing it in person. Well as you can see from the picture, it's potentially eight minutes or eight seconds of uncertainty.

Good to know. Pictures can definitely be deceiving.

Harry-57 · 16 April 2021, 12:15 AM

Not good for a chronograph. Probably good enough for most owners.

Thank you for the feedback. I look forward to meeting one.
