And Vintage Panda itch...scratched!
No deep or special story... Had been wanting a panda dial for a while, and zoned in at this affordable gateway possibility from inoumerous youtubers.
Add this to a day idlely browsing vinted, ran across a slighty used one (can find trace of it) priced at almost half of retail price and....trigger pulled.
Picked it up from parcel drop point now and loving it so far, looks great and really has the vibes I was looking for. Only thing less good is strap, but nothing that can't be fixed during a lazy afternoon with a stock of random straps I end up gathering.
Ending as I started: panda itch = scratched!

Very beautiful watch
Well done, it is a very handsome piece!
Not even the same league :). Love the Hamilton man, just didn't work on the wallet side. But great one you have arriving!

Thanks John!
Happy scratching
Just got one last month, and I’m really happy with it. I went with the bracelet option and figured I would end up replacing it with a strap, but I was really surprised how good the bracelet felt and looked, so I kept it on. Interested to see what kind strap you put on it!
Nice! Been thinking about this one for the same kind of itch.

Hard to appease..don't I know it
Great looking watch!
I really love that dial, well done, enjoy!
Really cool piece, mi companheiro. We appreciate the same design elements. I'm getting one too some time Q1 next year. What are its dimensions, and for reference what is your wrist size?
Congrats and enjoy!

So wristwise I am at 16,5 cm. On the watch, 40mm diameter, with 47 lug to lug. It's a slim one and light, will wear quite nice once I find the right strap for it!

Thanks for sharing the dimensions and your wrist size. At least that gives me an idea. The 40mm diameter and 47mm LTL is a tad over my sweet spot, and because the bezel is so thin, it will surely wear larger on wrist. Will head over to the AD and try it on wrist itself so I get a better feel. Obrigado once again, companheiro.

Honestly, despite the dimensions (my sweet spot is 39mm with under 45 ltl) it wears quite nicely (honestly looks small in some angles). But you have it right, try it on at the AD! For me the textbook dimensions only tell half the story, wrist experience is the ultimate guide!
Happy hunting!

Indeed, my friend, indeed. Looking forward to the AD visit after the holidays. Might get a sale of some kind hehe...
the Marlin Chrono is definitely one of the best lookin' recent releases from any brand! Congrats on your acquisition man!
Well done Timex! 👍
I put the steel rally bracelet from Straton Watch Co. on mine and absolutely love the look. Interested to see what you do. 💯
