Panda discontinued?

Am I the only one that thinks they discontinued the ‘panda’ a couple of years ago?
I don’t think the 116500 is a panda.
I don’t even think the current Daytona’s with solid sub dials are ‘pandas’.
I’d rather not use nicknames, but if they are going to be used, can’t we at least get it right?
Not trying to step on anyone’s toes. Feel free to correct me on any watches in the past that we’re called ‘pandas’.
I thought this was the only ‘panda’...

I wish this thread got some traction. I'd like to get some more information on the 116523 TT, as I am considering trade or sale.

I love that watch. If I wanted a TT daytona that would be it. I saw one at an AD December 2017. Not sure if it was just a 116523 or if that dial made it to 116503. There is also a white gold version of that watch.

Asian does not go crazy on gold panda lol. Gold is ugly. The point is. Any crazy person who likes gold would love it.

"The giant panda, also known as panda bear or simply panda, is a bear native to south central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda"

"Panda Express is a fast food restaurant chain which serves American Chinese cuisine. With approximately 2,000+[5] locations, it is the largest Asian segment restaurant chain in the United States,[6] where it was founded and is mainly located (in addition to other countries and territories in North America and Asia). Panda Express restaurants were traditionally located in shopping mall food courts, but the chain now operates units in many other environments and formats, including stand-alone restaurants, as well as universities, casinos, airports, military bases, amusement parks and other venues."

Funny how this seems to be something that gets under some people's skin recently.
