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).

For your first try I would suggest using stuff around the house. Cut a salmon fillet no more than an inch thick and put it in a ziplock bag using the immersion technique (I suggest adding a lemon slice and some dill with it). If your home tap water comes out hot enough (125F/50C), then you're lucky. If not, fill an 8+qt pot with water on the stovetop and a use a thermometer to get it to 125F/50C. Put hot water in a bowl, then add the bag and leave it for 30 minutes. You may need to add new hot water once or twice. Pop the fillet out and it's ready.
You'll know then if it's something you want to invest in because exchanging water and monitoring temperature for just 30 minutes sucks and you can't imagine doing it for hours.
