ROC Panda
Own a ROC Panda and love it but after a while have come to realize I prefer darker dials to white based. At the same time I think the Panda is a classic dial and it's been discontinued.
39mm ROCs with blue and orange dials, blue dial 15300/15400 and all the ROO Divers are all appealing to me. Would you guys switch? What do you think about the ROC Panda vs. those? Others to consider? Thanks |

I love the ROC Panda and it's my favorite dial configuration of all ROs and ROCs - just so classic.

Keep the Panda, I love the dial. All my collection has been dark dial except for the panda.

I wouldn't do it. That watch is amazing and you will miss it later. Keep it as long as you can! Out of all ROC this one is the most sought after. If you really want the diver, save for it or get a pre loved one but don't let that panda go. My 2 cents.

Keep that Panda ROC, IMHO, it's the best looking dial of the RO series

Check with APSC... You can purchase a new set of dial and hands in your preferred colour (standard set) for replacement. Rather costly though.
By the way, the Panda dial is classic. Personally, I own and like the all-white dial. The bright dial is very versatile with any apparel |

I was leaning towards the Panda and your picture really helped Logan, I know I wouldn't flip such a timepiece!

Thanks
Thanks for the replies. That was the resounding pep talk I needed to keep it! Now, it looks like I'll just have to save for something else...

I'm getting to know you indeed and you're absolutely right about the size.

Just wanted to send a follow up. After the resounding response to keep the panda I listened and switched back to.the strap. Added a whole new dimension and remembered why I.bought it. Thanks again everyone
