Technically panda has black ring around eyes then white of the eye then black in the eye... so Panda fits...





The daytona has 3 subdials. Where is the panda’s third eye?

So both eyes and nose... panda also has black lips and white teeth so third subdail??

You can call it what you want but in the situation such as this where you have one watch in two different configurations, one filled in circles and one with just the perimeter, well both can't be the same thing.

What everybody understands to be a panda dial(filled in sub counters) has been in existence before Rolex made the 116500 dial we now see with the ceramic bezel. This nick name has also been a widely accepted description across others brands, and it always filled in sub counters. I think the issue today is every tom dick and harry on instagram wants to be fancy and cute and calls watches these stupid names and it catches steam because it's hash tagged.

It can be whatever you want it to be.

Panda in the true sense is a white dial with black sub dials and no other colours on the dial.

Dials of other colours with solid sub dial colour fills and no other colour on the dial are also referenced as panda dials which I get.

As far as the latest SS Daytona's go. I have no idea why they used thick border circles without fills. A chronograph would look so much better, function wise, with a solid coloured fillled sub dial with contrasting hands, which they do on some Daytona's still.

That's not copying the past, that's just producing something functionally superior.

No it’s definitely NOT a panda...more wishful thinking by owners of the 116500LN.

This is my watch...a true panda!

That’s what I’m talking about right there. See people, Panda Panda Panda.

One web result from Rolex.com doesn’t serve as a definitive source IMHO.

There are 13 Daytona dial combinations in different metals where there are contrasting subdial colors. Until now that has been the primary attribute of a Panda dial.

Before the choice of a contrasting chapter ring color for the white subdials on the 116500 White dial model, nobody called a contrasting color on a subdial’s chapter-ring a “Panda”.

I’d post all the pics but anyone can see it all for themselves at Rolex.com.

You panda wannabes, #tag mentality, really don't get it, even though it has been explained to you in other threads very clear what a panda dial is in the watch industry, now you make a thread to repeat the same discussions.

The fact that it appears on Rolex search engine is just that, to be more visible, hence using every popular tag that might bring more audience.

What most agreed on is that it is WRONGLY called a Panda, regardless if they are bothered or not by this.

Ppl get nasty about it because it is a spread of misinformation, and want to read correct facts. Why would anybody listen to someone if that person is spreading wrong info and has no problem with it, even though it has been shown he's wrong?!

On the other hand, i will refer to the 116500 LN white as being pink. What? It's my opinion, i'll call it how i want, and in every thread i will spread the word of being the pink Daytona... also the sky is green, and 2+2=5... why not, after all this is what today's world made out of you, there's no right or wrong fact, everything is right because it's your opinion

It's funny cause many call the "Submariner" a no date while the one that has a date a "Submariner". Not many jump on that very wrongly referred reference that is black and white with Rolex, versus the panda.

Maybe you just missed those threads, often there are battles on that front also

[watchwatcher]

No, not to me anyway. But, I know what a person's talking about when they refer to their steel daytona as such, so...mission accomplished. Isn't that the purpose of a name, after all?

Just like the so-called "Paul Newman" dials, they're really not, but most of us know what the writer is saying.

[HMHM]

I mean... there is a reason why those with a black sub dial are called a panda...One can't just change something to suit the narrative.. its a great watch! I'm pretty sure it will still be equally desired without that nickname..

Can the black dial daytona be called the Darth Vader then? LOL

It is not a Panda, but often owners of this model are in denial. And you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
