    that almost sound like a wus comment ?

    I will be honest it was in the back of my head but instead of jumping to conclusions I choose to have a conversation with the new member to see and if you had read on you would have notice he said he was more interested in the movement used then the said watch so I choose to give them the benefit of the doubt..

    for that matter if it was their watch I would not have been that bother ..... I would like to have thought they would have had enough respect to say to a mod first do you mind before doing the thread.. as one more watch maker on a watch forum I would think would be a good thing

    Wish I was the watchmaker, would be a more fulfilling job than settling insurance claims. I'm still up in the air on the color to go with the blue dial. I have probably 5 black dial watches. I have a Frederique Constant panda Chrono but it is dressier because the dial is silver vs. white and on a leather strap, no bracelet option.

    well have dabble at watch making in the broadest sense one or two conversions and a few bespoke builds .. be fun to do some thing bigger like a run of watches.. but beyond my skill set alas .. any way ...

    thats the thing the black dial is ok but the set up just reminds me of a tissot 1853 to much to ignore it .. it might be a fine watch but you could get a tissot for that price

    but a panda reverse might be cool look better then the white dial one to be honest

    You are 100% correct a reverse panda would be better. I'm holding out hope it could be a stretch goal or something. I hate when 1 is offered and not the other. I love the new Mobtblanc Timewalker Manufacture Chronograph. Has a ceramic bezel, sporty look, 3-6-9 layout but it is only available as a panda.

    each to their own really I suppose with me I like vintage so tend to go for two for many reasons cost being one plus in vintage size. three seem's to crowd the dial where two improves it
