I could never get behind the 11 series, I had bought a couple but always ended up selling them because I felt they were to small. I decided to pull the trigger on a 12 series Panda because everyone had said it wears a little bigger. And in the end it does but I still wish it was a little bigger 😄

Here are some pictures, I am really happy with it so far. Anyone want to guess the crystal?

Well, maybe it's just my sample (which I doubt) but for me the crystal has an obivous blue tint in lower light conditions.

It’s not just you. Nikz has confirmed that a replacement should be considered on the white dial 126500, even with a deep crystal and he’s not really a fan of these.

As I've written in my small review: "... But my main issue with this crystal is the blue hue or tint it sheds on the white dial. To be honest, this is only true in shadow areas or indoors with normal bounced light. The problem does not occur in sunny rooms or in full sunlight. You have to say that the crystal here really looks impeccable. However, it has to be said that you are mostly indoors and unfortunately you can see the blue tint very easily."

Just got brutally robbed in bright daylight, just 200 meters from my house in Amsterdam.

One: that was a nasty experience, blood all over.
Two: lucky it was a fake
Three: please watch out with your replica’s, robbers think they’re genuine.


Извини! Это еще один аргумент, почему наряду с оригиналами нужно иметь копии. Какие часы ты носил?

I don’t any blue hue, even in low light. The only time the Panda dial turns any blue is under a bright blue sky. Same with my black dial

My thoughts as well, and on both dials. The stock Clean 12 crystal is new and improved with better clarity.

Of course gen will always be better, but its not a $500 improvement..
