Godzilla vs the Panda

I know the panda is the most popular watch out there, but how many feel the Godzilla is not getting enough attention?

Nonetheless probably a good time to pick up one now, since prices have dipped 20k!

Another childlike silly name for a Rolex watch today for some Rolex watches are becoming more like Mickey Mouse watches.

I think the black dial looks much better in person than the white dial. More elegant, sharp and versatile. Just my opinion, and I have had both.

Don’t know what OP was referring to, but this is the only “Godzilla” I know of in the watch world…and it is amazing.

Another vote for “no idea what OP is talking about.”

I guess this is an easy way for OP to increase his post count. This is yet another post by a new member asking general questions (e.g. not seeking advice on purchasing or servicing). Trying to figure out if this beats the posts with the single fuzzy photo asking “Is this real”? and when everyone chimes in that it’s not, asking “How can you tell?”

What is OP? Sorry i lost the thread a while back, so took some time to find back. In Asia, Godzilla refers to the stainless steel daytona in black dial, model number 116500ln. In case anyone else was unsure, a Panda refers to the stainless steel version of the daytona, again 116500ln.

Basically, both these 2 stainless steel daytonas dropped from a high of 65k usd to a recent prices around 45k USD.. in case nobody was aware.

Hope this clears.. and yes Black vs White.. i guess the classic dilemma. I have no intention to increase post count, nor do I even know the benefits of doing that.
