Which watch would you get?

I want to buy under 300 dollars panda chronograph and i have narrowed it down to these 3. I would like to hear your opinion about these and if you had some experience with them

Out of those three, I'd likely choose the Dan Henry, but that new Marlin is kinda nice too!

Check out the Orient Neo-70's Panda ... you just might wanna add that to your list 👍 👍

Save a bit more & get a Bulova Lunar Pilot Panda 👍🏻

🤔 After 30 seconds on your wrist, they are the same watch.

Agree with Lunar Pilot suggestion, instantly distinct and credible.

A - because I vote with my wallet as a proud owner of the 1964

I don't own any of them, but I have a chronograph with the VK63 movement that the Dan Henry uses, and I like the mechanical feel of the meca-quartz. The Dan Henry also has sapphire, lume, and a vintage 38mm size... the only downside is the 19mm lugs. I also have a Timex with an acrylic crystal like the Marlin, and that also has vintage vibes. If you like 40mm x 20mm and a 4:30 date, then the Timex... otherwise I'd go with the Dan Henry.

I like the look of the watch but it’s a bit too big for me

Man it’s good looking

I voted B for the simple reason that Santa is already bringing me a Dan Henry (62 version) for Christmas. But I do have a soft spot for Timex and this Chrono is still on my 'to buy' wish list

Have a look at the Orient Ray Panda solar chrono. No, not the NEO 70s.

·

I love my Dan Henry 1963!

Just ordered a DH 1964 panda. Been eyeing the Seitona/SSC911 for a while now but the prices aren't great for quartz imo (even for solar), and more importantly I wanted a bicompax model.

Then I searched for panda chronograph posts and found out out about this microbrand. 2 subdials for half the price of the Seiko, with a no-date option? Sold!

WatchCrunch to the rescue, once again. 🤙
