There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

A couple of weeks ago I came to the conclusion I need to step up my style. I'm a 25 year old web developer living in Europe and dressing casual every single day. This means, graphic tees, hoodies, zipped hoodies, sneakers, jeans (I do own a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers, but that's about it).
I feel at this point in my life I want to dress more professional, not like a 18 year old anymore that just graduated college. I've been reading a ton of articles, watching a load of videos etc about Men's Style and I know the direction I want to go in. However, I can't afford to immediately spend € 1000+ on an entire new wardrobe and would like to gradually change my style.
My idea is to start at the feet, and get myself a nice pair of Chelsea boots, followed by all-white sneakers (maybe immediately, maybe a bit later). After that I'd like to invest in a good pair of dark-washed jeans and some well fitting chinos.
I'd love to hear some opinions on this 'game plan'.
