No point with this endless debate.
People who have been in this hobby long enough know it’s not a panda. Only newbies like to call it a panda. So be it. Makes conversation much easier when someone calls it a panda you know you’re talking to a newbie.

You Don't Know Panda!

No matter cause POP CULTURE has thus dubbed the 116500ln white dial a panda. This horse is dead, beaten and troddened. All u PANDA DIAL purists keep having ur little heart attacks. The PEOPLE have spoken. Nick names are names not given by the brand owner but buy popular culture... and as been proven time and time again with incomings and sales right on TRF the 116500ln white dial is a.... wait for it... PANDA no matter how butt hurt some get...

Please define who is the authority on "Nicknames" it may not be a " Traditional " Panda Dial but it IS referenced in popular culture as a Panda Thus a "Nickname" seems you foggies can't differentiate between an actual Panda Dial and Panda the Nickname. I do not think any of us Newbies or as refrenced "folks newer to the hobby" do not understand that it is not a TRUE PANDA DIAL. But I do think you Foggies or " older folk in the hobby" believe we do not know it is not a true Panda dial. We still reference this model as a Panda Nickname... hope this clears it up gramps.

Folks can call the watch “sliced bread” should they wish to do so. Though I don’t consider it a Panda dial. :)

But if they called it sliced bread would you object that it truly is not a sliced bread dial due to the black rings in the subdials???

The current white Daytona is not a so-called “panda dial”. It’s really quite simple to understand.

What’s next? The latest black dial Daytona is a “reverse panda”?

Show me where Rolex defines a true panda dial... please I will wait... not people in general as we have all stipulated that what People call a thing does not mean the thing is what they call it... so who again is the defining body for Panda Dial submission and recognition???

Helps sell he says after he mentions lists... since when in the last 10 years have Rolex Daytonas needed help selling... lol

We’ve seen what’s happened with meaning of ‘literally’ in recent years for example. There was nothing we could do. Also in the UK ‘staycation’ has taken on a new (nonsensical) meaning which is growing in use. Life goes on.

Just go do a search for daytona panda in TRF listings... proof pudding meet...

People new to the hobby... 1year, 5, 10, what is new to the hobby please define. Those same folks are the future of the hobby this is their time... yours came and went... just how life is.... others will do the same to these you now call new...

I’m not sure what your point is but I have just done this for you:

First page has 25 results of panda dials and panda dial watches, none of which are SS 116500LN. Is this the kind of pudding you ordered?

See how the first hit resembles a panda bear?


Evidently this means a lot to some people so I’m sorry making light-hearted remarks earlier.

[airchitect]

Wow this thread went off the rails fast!

But fact is, if the sub dials aren’t solid, it’s just not a panda, regardless of what the instacrowd wants it to be. It doesn’t even make sense when compared to what’s it’s named after.....a friggin panda! And no I’m not old

Listings as in classifieds look at all 116500ln listings classified panda word appears yes or no? Incomings of 116500ln Panda word appears yes or no? Amount of people informing you few that panda is a NICKNAME that is already part of popular culture overwhelming on all counts... that is the POINT.... good day.

Okay, last post on this. It's a lovely day and there is nothing to be gained from discussing this. Might as well play chess with a frog. You asked me to search 'TRF listings' for you (for some reason that we do not know...something about pudding). Surely that means The Rolex Forum's classified sales listings, so that is what I searched for you. You have also run another search of slightly different listings which includes people referring to the 116500ln as a panda. If there's one thing we have established in this thread it is that some people call the 116500 a panda so we're not learning anything from these search results. Best of luck on your crusade.

Referring to a expensive luxury watch...

Post of the week!

Fun topic... but some of the stubbornness and insistence (on all sides) is downright comical.

[GMTme]

Not a Rolex...but a proper panda dial!

Another proper panda or Paul Newman as it was referred to in 2000. Also, I’m not 100% sure but I believe it was referred to as the 10th anniversary watch of the 24 hours of Daytona sports car race and presented to the winner. Also in 2000.

This thread needs to end but I do so love the entertainment factor...

I’m not sure these people know what a panda looks like!

[spacedinvader]

In Chengdu this specific breed of panda is named the Daytona bear due to its similarity to the elusive sports watch.

Agree with OP, not a panda. Many associate it as such due to the PN and pandas being all the craze. Still not a panda lol.

OFF-TOPIC WARNING!

The dog in this picture, who starred in the TV series is a Pit Bull (Amstaff to be precise). The picture and the whole TV series perfectly depicts the true character of these dogs - and the fact they’re amazing family pets, despite being vilified over last couple decades as being “dangerous”...

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Gotta go - my Amstaff is asking me to take him for a walk... My Deepsea confirms it’s time.
