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).

Firstly, Is there a sizing chart and if so is it accurate? This has to be the most frustrating thing about buying any cloths online here or otherwise. Listings shouldn't even be allowed without one - IMHO.
Secondly, I make some kind of value judgement - Is the price good enough, will it get here with enough time left in the season it is intended for.
Lastly, my only real gripe with using Massdrop for clothing - What are the return procedures going to be like? Can I make a simple exchange if I get / they get the sizing wrong ? Can I make an easy return to Massdrop? Or does it have to go back to the company directly? Is the return postage pre-paid by the sellers?
Ultimately - do answering these questions cause less aggravation than finding this item on amazon.com?
I go through these steps on just about all the items I set out to purchase. Typically I loose hope and give up on some point on this journey.
Thanks for listening. Just trying to put my 2 cents in and my hope is to help Massdrop strengthen what i find the flimsiest community.
