A friend is offering me a trade, my blackface rubber clad plus a little extra cash for his mint Panda.

What do you guys think?

VetteBandit · 28 January 2012, 12:02 PM

Follow your heart. Both cool, but it's what you like that counts. That said the Panda is pretty sweet.

Shade · 28 January 2012, 12:41 PM

I really fancy either one and Im on fifty fifty terms on it.. Sigh..

Fiddy · 28 January 2012, 12:42 PM

Panda with horn back is my choice.

Shade · 28 January 2012, 12:47 PM

Two of my friends voted for the panda as well..

h999r · 28 January 2012, 01:12 PM

Panda off corse .. But depends how much cash difference ?

tomato · 28 January 2012, 01:23 PM

I agree with hr, depends on the cash and the condition if the 2 watches. Both are great pieces. Just curious, how did the idea of the trade come up?

Shade · 28 January 2012, 02:47 PM

The idea? He was bored of his panda and wanted to keep his navy. But wanted a black dial ap instead to swap with the panda. I wore my clad last night and he offered me to trade up. Cash difference is about 1.6k. Both watches are in mint complete condition.

tomato · 28 January 2012, 02:56 PM

In that case, I would go for the panda. It is a great looking watch!

Shade · 28 January 2012, 04:55 PM

Im heading to meet up and see the panda one more time before making a decision!

Fiddy · 28 January 2012, 05:18 PM

1.6k is acceptable. I'm sure you will take the deal. :D
Btw please post some pics when you have it.

Dickson Lim · 28 January 2012, 06:00 PM

Both are cool but I love the look of Panda slightly more. By the way, is his Panda with bracelet or straps? Keep us update on the decision, you can't go wrong either one.

h999r · 28 January 2012, 07:51 PM

+1. Take the Panda.

HL65 · 28 January 2012, 09:29 PM

Coin toss for me. I love the black RC but the Panda is pretty sweet as well.
Tough call....

Shade · 28 January 2012, 09:59 PM

You know what, I passed. I decided I liked my black rubberclad better. The panda doesnt sing to me..

Dickson Lim · 28 January 2012, 11:13 PM

It's okay. You are totally find with your Rubberclad! Say sorry to her and continue to love her.

Shade · 29 January 2012, 01:59 AM

Hahaha I guess so Dickson. I just realized something, out of all the Roo models out there, I hate glossy dials. The panda's silvery glossy dial is totally not my taste.

kilyung · 29 January 2012, 02:29 AM

Panda as it gives you more strap combination options.

TSW · 29 January 2012, 04:30 AM

As a first or only AP Panda get's my vote, And as Mike said more strap combos for it

Shade · 29 January 2012, 04:43 AM

True, panda will give you easier colours of straps to match.. But I decided that i didnt like the glossy dial. However, if it was matte white with black subdials, it would be a winner for me.

shay · 30 January 2012, 07:11 AM

Take the Panda!!!

I had the opportunity Or buy a blackdial rubber second hand in good condition
at 11,900$ or buy new Panda at 15,800$, and I bought the Panda, And this even though I know that on the rubber I would not lose money resell, But I just loved the Panda more
