What do you guys think about the Panda.

I really like the look, but don't you think unlike a Rolex that is quite a bit more noticeable?


And isn't the Chrono a seperate module?



Doesn't this require higher service charges and more time in the shop?

Ah, Oh, Geez, Oops, I'll never get this thing right.

Not a bit more, try much more. Height, weight, very bling in comparison.

100$!? Who do you think I am, Rockefeller!?

Now I guess you're going to tell me the watch is as expensive as 300$ or something like that?
