Favorite Panda!?
Just got my new Daytona and had to pair it up with my Omega! Which do you like better!! Unfortunately however the Omega will have to go to help offset my new Daytona. Had been waiting for about 2 months for it!

I prefer the layout of the Daytona subdials. I've always found that the subdials look too close together on the classic 42mm Speedy panda dials. While they work great on the all black moonwatch, always looked slightly off on the panda/reverse panda. That said, they are both beautiful watches, and I would be happy to own either. Daytona just takes the cake.

I love my Speedy pandas....but there's a special place in my heart for the new steel dial for white gold Daytonas.

Congrats! The WG Daytona OF is one of the best looking Rolexes IMO. It’s a pity that you have to let that Omega go. I’m also a big fan of panda dials.

Have to agree with you there. That might just be the most beautiful reference of Daytona Rolex has ever produced

Not surprising to see so much support for the Daytona given the venue. Personally, I prefer the mitsukoshi speedy’s cleaner design.

One of the best modern day Pandas would be the AP Chrono Silver(looks more like white)/Black and Daytona C White Dial.

Such beautiful watches.
