My appreciation is steadily growing for RM the more drunk I become. By the end of this bottle I'll think they're brilliant and well worth the money.

i find them an interesting piece and somthing that only watch geeks or tennis fans might recognise (the latter just due to Nadal, without any numbers/prices jumping into their heads).

had a good look at them in Harrods a while ago and can see the logic in acquiring one of these as part of a high end collection, rather than something like the Platinum Daytona that might just be a rich lads way of saying "my Daytona's better than yours". perhaps something for the more subtle or discerning in a bit of a twisted way, considering the look of them.

also something that will probably appeal to the slightly younger audience, now in my mid 40's i feel the need for slightly more classic lines to go with my greying temples and expanding waistline; perhaps i'm no longer sporty enough for the RM.

as for the Panda one, i keep looking at it like one of those magic eye pictures, expecting to find a watch in there somewhere; but keep seeing a bloody panda and some bamboo!

This either because RM has deftly emulated the Panda's natural ability to blend with its surroundings. Or it's bo11ocks.

How do you know it's a boy panda, and not a girl one?

Quite clearly a boy Panda...

I quite like the metal finish on that one in preference to the black finish on the one in the OP.

I can see that the rubber strap continues the case design, but I could imagine an interesting contrast between old and modern by fitting a thick brown leather strap.
