The panda is indeed gorgeous, and has become a second favorite to none other than my bumblebee ;) I daily the panda and wear the bee whenever I want that pop

Both are suitable for daily wear, bee even more so in terms of ding and scratch resistance. The bee/forged carbon is just in another realm to me and league, can't go wrong with either

Where in Miami are you, I could bring them for you to check out

Here's a quick pic

That Panda w/ the F1 strap is pretty amazing looking. If you don't like the FC then the Bee is obviously not a good choice, but I do like the all around scratch resistance that the watch provides which to me is an important aspect of weekend wear. Throw on the rubber strap and you can do just about anything.

I have not tried on the Bee yet myself but as long as I can deal w/ the FC I think that will be my next AP.

Good luck on your decision!

The Panda is still a bold move but certainly more subtle. The Panda with F1 strap is really awesome though.
Thanks.

And it just looks so darn good in general.
Thanks. It does seem like gorgeous watch.

That is a very very nice collection you have there! I live/work between downtown and brickell. A meet-up would be great; get to see the watches and perhaps make a friend.

Thank you, sir. The FC would certainly take all my weekend/outdoor activities well I imagine.

Hehe, I can absolutely see the point. After all - it's yellow on black. It's not subtle.

However, if you actually like the colors (as I do), it's a stunning piece

Gotta love the BB combo - I think it's sexy.

Ideal way to be given this watch: presentation of the watch and then a walk to the garage to find a Ferrari 458 - same combo - with a bow on it.

One can dream...

Yup. But certainly a particular watch which can be both good and bad!

Definitely awesome, however not a fan of it on that strap !

Anyway as for the BEE, yes yellow and black is bold however in person and on the wrist it really doesn't stand out THAT much !!!

As i've mentioned in other threads, if you catch a glimpse of it in a mirror on your wrist in a dept store or something, or look down, it's really not bright at all !

To be brutally honest, Christian, I do actually quite like yellow, had a yellow Breitling Seawolf before, but I think as there are so many APs I want I have to tell myself a little white lie here and there coz I cant buy them freaking all!
