One of the cleanest Panda chronographs I've seen!

Recommended Posts

Diver Dave

1970's pillow case shape.Really dated.... didn't like them then and don't like them now.

 

The sharp knurling on the pushers is crude. Easy to make, and crude.

 

Tiny crown. Guess they wanted to use the same part for the crown as for the pusher. Save a penny.

 

Flat mineral glass crystal? Come on....

 

The black arc between 40 seconds and 60 means what? Nothing? Really? So... what's it doing there?

 

Skeleton hands (so you can see the subdials, apparently) without lume? Am I the only person who wants to peek at my watch at Zero-Dark-Thirty to see when the alarm is gonna go off?

 

Quartz?

 

<yawn>....

 

 

It's dated now and will look worse in ten years. Only a fool would buy this POS*.

 

.

*That's "Piece of Shit" in case you were wondering.

Theres some great points that were raised! Thats the beauty of the forum is to see what other people see that you couldn't! I am not a watch expert whatsoever so i do appreciate the negative comments towards it!

 

 

 

Plus tbh with you, im just addicted to panda chronographs and regret selling my 3714 iwc panda :lol:

Not a fan of the case set. The dial too is barren in my opinion. It should have had a subdial at 6 to fill in that space.

The black arc between 40 seconds and 60 is lap timer.

Baaa!

 

Take a look on Ebay at the realized prices for comparable gen chronos from the 60's and 70's. Pick a movement and look for watches using it that have sold with classic cases and pillow cases. There's a huge value difference, about 2X in many cases. The pillow shaped cases simply have not stood the test of time.

 

That's the market speaking, not me.....

 

 

Enjoy!

ok,

what was your shortest single circuit lap then?

Between 40 to 60 seconds

Do you think there was a lap shorter than 40 seconds in 1970's?
