26320 for around 18.5k new. 26331 for around 22k new. Will the 26331 depreciate down to 17k used like the 26320? Should I wait til the hype dies down? I like the panda look but I like all 3 sundials same size and date window position on original...Hard call.

I am guessing the panda will have more room for depreciation and maybe will settle 1k or so higher used than the original.

FWIW I prefer the solid white dial regardless of price.

Agree

Even though I have an all white dial ROC the panda wins this battle!

tcheeco · 29 May 2017, 08:40 AM

26320 for me... mine says hi ;-)

japenney · 29 May 2017, 09:02 AM

Guys I have been thinking about it and I believe the original 26320 wins for me. The symmetry of the sub dials and date window placement are just so much better. I also think that the black Panda sub dials will be much harder to read at a glance...and finally I believe that the all white dial lets you view the waffle design in all its glory. The Panda sub dials take away from it a bit and that is one of the main reasons I love this watch.

26320

AK797 · 29 May 2017, 11:22 AM

I prefer the panda dial, but I do prefer the same size subdials. I'd take the Panda tho, but I'd need a decent discount esp as a new in-house could be out next year.

jem7v · 29 May 2017, 11:50 AM

My only problem with the panda is because the top 2 dials are bigger I just see Mickey Mouse when I look at them.

mobster600 · 29 May 2017, 12:40 PM

I think the white 26320 is a little more original looking, which I prefer. The panda and two tone dials have a more modern feel. Either one is amazing, can't go wrong

Lordofrolex · 13 June 2017, 03:30 AM

Panda is amazing. A little pricey though.

kutime · 13 June 2017, 03:52 AM

Panda for me, it gives a nice contrast.
Can't really predict the price for the future, but I hope it doesn't drop as much :)

I voted panda even though the plain white Looks more classic to me.

Lordofrolex · 20 July 2017, 04:37 PM

Panda it's amazing

HK Islandboy · 20 July 2017, 05:11 PM

I like them both, but would lean toward the white dial

aleeboy · 20 July 2017, 05:20 PM

White dial for me.

The subdials on the Panda pop a little too much for my liking.

Leeq · 27 July 2017, 11:44 PM

I prefer the panda dial, even though I HATE subdials on any watch. Maybe you could wait and see if you could get a better price for it later - they may come out with a new model or an even better watch.

Tomas Eriksson · 28 July 2017, 12:14 AM

Panda for me

japenney · 28 July 2017, 01:58 AM

I have a classic 26320 on the way. Decided against the panda. 17.5k lnib 2016 26320 vs 21k+ for the panda makes it even easier.

benlee · 17 September 2017, 06:42 PM

Panda will be my choice. For me another big plus for the 26331 is the ability to engage the chronograph without the need to unscrew the pushers.

LAFLARE · 19 September 2017, 07:49 PM

Uneven subdials bother me too much, plus the black draws too much attention away from the beauty of the white dial. Price aside, watch for watch, white all the way!
