In all seriousness, with what you have coming up I would stay away from buying another watch for a while. It would send the wrong message to your wife-to-be, but why don't you put a stake in the ground by telling her that you really love this watch, and tell her when the time comes around that you have paid off all your upcoming expenses and landed well, then this is the piece you plan to buy. Or maybe suggest it as a wedding gift!

I believe the Panda dial was first released in the Asian market.

True . Chris....Do not get that watch. With all coming up it would be terribly irresponsible of you. Settle and then reconsider. These things can wait .

It is beauty and thanks for all the input and i must thank Rob and others for the great pics BUT psv and dalip are undoubtedly correct and thanks Realistically it will have to wait until next year at least as i dont see myself selling or even wanting to sell any of my current collection In all honesty and with the stock market being the way it is there will be no other way, without causing some serious uneeded tension when we have so much else to look forward too.
it was a nice thought, well for 24 hours haha

IMO the panda is the most beautiful Daytona dial out there, though I prefer the SS over the TT model.

A true beauty... As other have said if timing is alright and you have the $$$ then why not. Although it does sound like you do have a full plate too but one can never say what is right for you.

It is an amazing watch, good luck

That dial also comes on the WG Daytona with WG around the sub-dials and arabic indices....LOVE IT!!

Will be putting that on my SS Daytona with red second-sweep and sub-dial hands next year when I return to the UK for a vacation!
