Welp, I finally did it, I tried on my holy grail and it was BEAUTIFUL! But at the moment I just couldn’t pull the trigger. Are there any quality pandas similar to this around the $500 mark?

    Orient got some Pandas, one even with a diver bezel. It looks really nice but I just think it does not belong on a chronometer. I really like the look of the Dan Henry watches, especially the 1962. Modeled after the Nina Rindt UG. Only problem with the Dan Dan Henry is the Movement. It is a Nice Seiko Vk63 movement, I think, but you can get a nice looking Pagani Design watch with the same movement for a fifth of the price. Don’t like PG though, so I bought the Seiko SSC813. It is an incredible watch, goes for around 700 bucks I think. But you can find a JDM model (SBDL085?) online with half the price. No difference between the models except one dial saying Japanese movement and the other V192, or so I read online.

      I’ll have to check it out. Not a fan of diver style but I might go try em on and see if I feel differently once they’re on my wrist. Was gonna go for a Dan Henry but I’m not dropping more than $100 on a watch that has mineral glass.
