    Its very hard to make a bad looking reverse Panda....well I think so as I have a deep weakness for them! But 2 subdials or 3 is the big question.....3 always looks better IMHO but manufacturers can rarely find any sensible use for all the subdials!!

    Came across this one recently on youtube - I found it to be1 one of the best looking reverse Panda's. The brand is new however if that's going to be a concern.

    For the ridiculously low price I've been thinking about giving a Dan Henry a punt.

    I have the normal panda dial, they're a nice watch and a lot slimmer than most chrono's which is the main reason I bought it.

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I have a few but wouldn't suggest any were 'the best' as that's very subjective. The ST is nice though, as is Dave's De Luca.

    I really like that and just looked it up. Don't think I could ever part with best part of £3k on a brand I've never heard of. Really nice design though.

    It's a great looking watch. The reverse panda dial on most Chronographs looks perfect to me. Interesting watch this one.

    Ultimately I think it’s a straight punch up between the UG and Zenith With the Evil Nina vs the Di Luca MK1 or add in a Zenith A277. Maybe the Gallet multi grin could put up a fight
    Two Omegas for you that are readily available though the Targa prices have doubled

    I'm a big fan too. Probably should say this but there is one on ebay at the moment that I've bid on.

    I keep an eye out for the no date version of that but have never seen one for sale in the UK

    Rolex 6263 is nice if you can run to 70 grand!

    I have to say the ST1 is the best I have seen and owned.

    It’s truly a brilliant looking watch.

    VC (inspite of the date placement) and the Guinand winners hands down IMO, leaving Zenith and Omega behind.

    I can't stand a date window at 4 or 4:30. I'd have loved an old Zenith but could never get past the way they desecrated what are otherwise lovely dials.

    It's Heuer all the way for me, the manual Autavias and the classic 1163 Autavia.

    If you are buying new, it has to be added that the Siduna Harlequin Dial makes a good bid in this race, at €1850 Brand new (although €1850 doesn't get you the flyback, just the normal chrono)



    (pic borrowed from Siduna's own Facebook feed)

    I have the plain black version, which I love, but this reverse panda is very nice.

    Yes, it's lovely. I never quite managed to capture the dial as I wanted to, though... nicer in the metal than any photograph can show.

    Another vaguely disappointing effort...

    The Zenith wins for me. Lovely in every way. And that’s a great pic by the way!

    Like everyone, I'm biased, but this has to be a candidate.
