SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm with Marc on this one. The Daytona was great for a little while and then I never wore it. It would have been great if I wore a suit or dress clothes for work, but It wasn't big enough and it wouldn't have done well sitting in a box.

i totally respect your taste in watches and hugely admire it doc! your knowledge too is something to applaud personally i wouldn't spend 35k on the bp perp tg (no matter its 'real' price) nor the ~27k for the ME Ltd bp perp which i also love. that to me is pp5726 money and pp > *

I like the BB also but with the yellow it really limits when I could wear it.
hmm interesting, so would you recommend i stay put with the Panda? or, given that i'll keep the grand prix carbon, i can use a bit of yellow? be honest mate and share your thoughts/advice

love these posts from owners who've been around, thanks! very interesting input. personally never had a BP on for more than 2minutes BUT sometimes looking at PAMs i get the impression that i will feel the same way towards them despite loving their size and bulkiness, AND ESPECIALLY their strap compatibility

^Thank you Craigger. I figured the regning TS Omega fanatic would approve.

First impressions. Very light, beautifully made with very nice details. Wears much smaller than 49mm would seem like it should, especially on the wrist the size of mine. The face/hands are spectacular with a nod to the classic yet still functional. Its a dress watch that can be work with a suit or jeans and not look out of place with either. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

Thank you again SoCal for spotting this for me. I've been on the hunt for one for a while at the right price, and he found this one which came with box, papers, etc for a steal.

E That looks sweet! Start a thread meng.
Edit: that's 49mm?!? Is that from lug to lug across the wrist or through the crown. If through the crown, your wrists are ginormous because that piece fits very well.


@Ali- I completely agree, spending $30k + I'd want a patek or VC or ALS. Given that your GP is carbon I'd be for keeping the panda to have some variety in case material, or if you want to have a yellow them go for the Buemi. Then you have a carbon piece with red accents and a yellow piece with titanium to offer some variety for you.

Good God that thing is a 49? My wrists feel so meager all of a sudden.

Great pick up, very pretty watch!
