A little AP fun this weekend

I couldn’t resist and had to go back and try on the RO again. I am in love with this watch.

While I was there I tried on a Panda to see how the larger size would look. It definitely sits very high on the wrist but the size didnt really bother me. I kinda liked the larger size for the sport watch. Its probably my second favorite AP over the RO.

I need to stop looking at the RO because its driving me crazy.

I had a look at these two watches closely at the ADs and while I like both Im probably favouring the Panda now but on hornback to bring out those subdials.

Love the Panda - that would be my choice.

The size definitely suits you.

I love them both but I think the RO would come first for me. I have a Pepsi GMT and a black faced SS Daytona (chronograph). I think a white faced RO would go best right now.

However, the Panda is a close second. If the Panda sat a little lower on the wrist and it had a clear caseback then I would be on more of a quandary.

I was really surprised how the Panda fit on my wrist. I thought the size would be too big. I’m used to wearing 40mm and my Daytona feels more like a 39mm to me.

I really like the panda dial on both Dayt and ROO but the 39mm of the Dayt is just too small for me and after you put on the Panda 42mm the Dayt does just seem to shrink on your wrist. For the Dayt I would only buy RG or YG now as those should be more subtle.
