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).

Here are 8 I grabbed. And I didn't discover anything I didn't know about what I like. I generally prefer outfits that have at most two patterns. If the tie has a pattern, I probably prefer a solid shirt and even a solid jacket. I definitely like solid colored ties. So if someone posted these and said "I really like this. What should I do?" I'd probably point him in the direction of some important staples (again, I have boring taste, and a lot of what I like involves boring staples) like a gray suit and a navy jacket and suggest he stock up on solid ties (especially in cool colors) with a few patterned squares before getting adventuresome. Actually, looking at that, I suppose I'd suggest he get a brown jacket before he gets a navy jacket. I know I like navy jackets. And I know that it is a great and versatile staple. But based off those 8 images, I'd argue that a brown jacket (or suit) should be higher on that guy's list than a navy one.
