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.

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 those of you who don't know, these are "grab bags" of sorts, for which joining a drop doesn't get you a specific item but instead gives you the chance of receiving an item out of a curated pool. The pricing for the blue box is based off of the highest chance (lowest MSRP) item so you're guaranteed to get a good value item even if you don't get upgraded.
We're always trying to find fun and unique ways to keep our community engaged and interested; my question to the Watches community is whether you all would be interested in seeing these and for what types of products? Obviously, with watches being such an aesthetically driven purchase, we have a bit more to think about when curating these Blue Boxes, but they could potentially be used for straps, storage, etc.
Let us know your thoughts!
