nikki6 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Panda all the way!! I have the BTR in black, the Panda makes the set!! It's a really stunning watch! Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 +1 on the Panda for sure! It is gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 i waffle on this decision myself...i feel the panda is sporty elegance...but the black - being monotone in dial color - is understated elegance...someday i'll get both...but i'm leaning toward the black first...but a lot depends on the other horses in your stable and how this watch will fit in...think of what you have and what's on your wishlist and then decide...black first, followed by panda for me... and those that know me, know i've been a HUGE panda fan...By-Tor's great pix will definitely sway you!...but check out some of the Ebel posts as more members have posted pix of the black dial...it's quite the looker, too... here's a post with a great wristies of the black version (thanks, Slask!): Slask's black dial Discovery post R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Maybe these pics help with the decision. If you have black BTR go for Panda. I have them both too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the replys so far! Currently I have the BTR (black), Omega UPO (black), and Breitling SHO (black). Lots of black! I'm leaning on the Panda too, but the wifey likes the black. That's why I'm thinking of getting them both and selling one of them (or...secretly keeping them both!).

Steve52 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey BT, I've seen those pics and read your review a few times. Awesome job!!! I know, I know, the Panda seems to be the popular choice here. And I do need/want a white dial in my collection. I'm just drawn to those red hands and black face. Maybe she won't notice and I'll just keep them both! Or..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 By-Tor's advice on Ebel's is right-on...think of the BTR and the Discovery...and then decide... Sixx and I are mirrored collectors...he has the black BTR and the panda Discovery...i have the white BTR and plan to get the black Discovery... decisions, decisions.........................

morlock Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Steve, good decision, you will not regret it, ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Good choice on the Panda. If you have all those other black dials...the panda is a great addition. I'm still thinking of getting one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm a Panda guy too ... it's all By-Tor's fault ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Man that's a beauty! I'd order it today but I'm gone next weekon vacation and I don't want it to arrive while I'm gone. The agony and then the ecstasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I think it's also an issue about white dial... most members have lots of black dial watches. White dials are never flashy. "Understated" is a big clich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks BT. Before I found this forum and started buying reps I wore a white dial Citizen Stars & Stripes for about 10 years. I had never had a black dial watch, now I have four. I do want a white face, so the panda Discovery is the one! Thanks for your help!

hackR Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm a Panda guy too ... it's all By-Tor's fault ... By-Tor is this forum's official spokesman for Ebels - great taste and amazing pix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
