New addition to my collection!

Last week, I was in a dilemma (more like a trilemma but yea, it was narrowed down to two) between Safari and Panda.

And when I tried them on, I just had to go with the Panda (No wonder there's so much hype about it!). Nothing wrong with Safari, still a thing of beauty but the Panda had a buzz to it.


Here are a few shots of my new baby:

(P.S. What do you lads think about the size on me?)







Slightly 'loose' strap:




Strap tightened a bit more:

Very, very nice!

Both are excellent, but the look of the panda on bracelet tips the scales for me (though Safari on hornback and Panda on bracelet would be a cool duo).

CongratS on that beauty! it looks great on your wrist. Panda dial looks nicer in the person compare to Safari, imo.
