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.

Psyched to be here, my name's Justin. I've spent the past 8 years at Michelin-starred and award winning restaurants from Per Se, to Grace, to The French Laundry, Noma, and Frantzen, and most recently in Norway at Lysverket.
I'm taking all of that experience and sharing it through original online content to help cooks and culinary students progress their careers. I do gear reviews, industry advice, as well as a chef/restaurant podcast called The Emulsion. I'm always STOKED to talk gear (check out my page on Kit) www.kit.com/justinkhanna
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hey, if there's anything I can do for anyone I'm happy to help! I'm hoping to share some new gear I'm discovering and testing, and possibly being a professional resource to anyone here that has questions.
In the meantime, go ahead and check out some stuff I've made that might interest you!
