Incoming Panda

Finally after 3 years I got the call. Obtained through my AD. It is even better than I thought it would be!! If you are on a wait list, just hang in there...I never thought it would take 3 years, but phone did ring!!

Thanks. I was happy to get the call. I really didn't want to pay grey market prices

Very nice! A huge congrats! You're a lucky guy. I prefer the white dial over the black. Make sure you buy a lottery ticket today too. Enjoy that beauty!

FYI, I do believe that a Panda dial refers to the solid black sub dials and not this particular style. I saw someone else get "lectured" in another thread.

Thanks for the context. My AD referred to it as Panda...

Yea man it’s not a panda. Enjoy but save embarrassment by not using that term with your watch friends in person.
