One must go....but which one ???
Alas, it looks like real life is intruding on my fantasy one and I have to move one of either my Panda or Bumble Bee. I love the versatility of the Panda and have a bracelet for it as well as the OEM horn back and it is certainly easy to adapt to any situation.
But the Bee is just.....COOL....its not for everyone and I have no idea how I could ever wear it with a suit, but I do love strapping it on in the summer. Considering the watch that I would be left with would be my main wearer (I do have a PVD Panerai, but dont wear it much...cant sell this one....dont ask...sentimental value) What would you do? TIA |

If your PVD PAM happens to be the Black Knight, I want it.

I'd have to keep the Panda and let the Bee go.
Similarly, if you let that bracelet go, I want it

Do you like the FC on the Bee? If yes, let the Panda go.

For a main daily wearer I would keep the Panda more versatile and goes with suit and casual .. The bee is cool but very hard to match anything and no way with a suit

Keep the Panda. Way more versatile and a perfect daily wearer.

I'm voting against the grain. Keep the Bee. It's more unique, feels like a million bucks, and with the right strap can be worn with a suit (although too casual for formal meetings). Did I mention it feels like a million bucks?

Keep the Bee. FC is amazing I wish I had gotten the Bee instead of the Safari.

Panda. Way more versitile and you already have the bracelet and horn back. Pick up a rubber strap and it will be an even better summer casual watch than the BB. Plus I think the panda is more timeless so for a long term keeper I say stick with the panda.

I would keep the bee , more unusual and can always can flip for another panda later on..if believe the rumours and AP stop making FC cases may be more costly the other way round

Seems like keeping the Panda makes more "sense", but, you seem to like the Bee better. So, keep the Bee, work the PVD PAM back into rotation, and then pick up another more multipurpose watch when funds permit. I think that way you'll avoid missing a watch too much, making the wait more bearable.
Good luck.

Agree with Mike, the Bee is more unique. I would keep it. I also heard it feels like a million bucks ;)

FC Diver is a good option as is keeping the Bee but buying an Omega or used Rolex as a daily wearer.
