Tudor Panda vs Reversed Panda

I can’t make my mind up! What is your choice? I was leaning towards the white but the more I look at it I’m unsure about the white hands blending into the white face.

I tried both on the other day and much prefer the reverse panda!

Vanilla or chocolate? How can we tell you which one you like?

Reverse panda ... It has a better contrast between the hands and dial.

I have not seen them in person, but I’m leaning toward the black dial. If the white dial was more of a crisp white, I would lean toward that one.

You probably need to see them in person and on your wrist to make your own decision.

I'm amazed that the poll had the white ahead of the black by some margin. I don't think it's even close. Black all day long and twice on a Sunday

I had both in my hand, without hesitation or half a second I chose white, the hands catch the outside light and they can be seen perfectly. black is very beautiful, but white is sublime.

Black for me due to legibility and consistency in the design.

Absolutely. I think they're confusing this piece with the Daytona.
Even then I prefer the black dial

Reversed. But.. I think in reverse it looks very close to a speedmaster... and I'm now in the market for a speedmaster...

Guess I’m going against the grain. Have seen both in person, and the white/opaline just stole it for me. AD offered me a black one today, but waiting for the white/opaline dial.

I admit the contrast of the black dial looks great in photos, but in person, the white dial is just something else, with a lot more depth and is generally more interesting.

Agree. The matte black dial just works better for me. There’s some vaguely Omega-like to the white dial that I can’t put my finger on.

This thread needs a picture of the suspects to compare , saw them both today with the 925 & I think the white faced chrono definitely looks better in the flesh .

Put my name down for the white dial, but second guessing my decision. Tough call b/c all my watches have black dials and wanted to try something new.

in photography it looks good, but in live the watch still looks better.

It’s awesome in the flesh, especially on my flesh.

I'm not really a chrono guy but the white dial is super sweet.

Reverse Panda for sure. The white really missed a trick by not outlining the hour markers and hands in black like the polar Explorer.
