Which AP ROO should i buy? Panda or Navy themes?

I've owned several Ap's in the past, but I am split on which my next AP should be. I like both the Navy edition and Panda equally.
Navy has been discontinued so i would think it will become harder to get a hand on.
Which one is more in demand?
Any help would be appreciated on this topic.

Thanks guys. I have a choice of getting an I series Navy or a G series Panda.
Both at the same price. Think I'm leaning towards the Navy since its newer (2013) model.

I really like the look of the Panda but having any lume on a sport watch is kind of a deal killer for me.

Panda for sure...

There's a reason the price for an older Panda is same as a newer Navy...more demand for the Panda.

Let me stand a lil further from the crowd. I have always found Panda to be a bit dull while Navy tends to really pop. Love it !

Go with the Navy.

Plus, Its the I series.

Panda, to me, is a bit more versatile, I would try to find a newer Panda for the same sort of money if you can. The Blue on the Navy is a bit limiting in my opinion, but it depends what else you have in your line up. Good luck with your decision.

Panda for sure, if you go for the Navy you need to get a pretty big discount or resale will really hurt.

Navy. Can be had for £11,995 in the U.K. Though the staff at Selfridges in Manchester basically told me I was lying, despite my showing them the price there and then on the Internet. Solid U.K. seller too. I think the Panda is lovely, but the Navy is delightful. It's my next purchase.
