I've fancied a 3 dial chrono again for a while now.....something like a GP or a sinn 103 or even a speedmaster maybe
prefer the classic 3,6,9 layout with dark dial and lighter subdials
let's see what you have,gentlemen! help me make my mind up

Not a panda style exactly, but a left field option:

You may build one....
Some beautiful pandas in this thread
Below is my humble contribution.
First is my only true keeper, a Schumacher Speedy with a LE number related to the day I was married, followed by a Seiko from the year and month I was born

What a beauty, i really like those vintage Heuers.
Modified cal.861 Speedy with 35th anniversary dial & white sub dial hands:
Some oldies from me:
Only two sub-dials on this one though:
Love that Schumacher speedy, nice guitar as well, looks like a prs or ibanez?Some beautiful pandas in this thread

I'd be tempted to try a black bezel on it though, never seen one like it but I reckon it'd look great!
Similar to this I suppose but with the Schumacher inner dial ring as well.Modified cal.861 Speedy with 35th anniversary dial & white sub dial hands:
Both are stunning as are though!

Good point about the black bezel. I have actually never thought about putting a black bezel on it - but I agree - it would look fantastic.
The design is a ripoff of the old Rolex (Newman) Daytona, which came in various designs (including some with black bezels):

As for the guitar it's an entry model Ibanez (had it as a backup years ago). It has since been replaced many times (...I flip as many guitars as I do watches)
Produced by a Polish collectors' forum last year - the inspiration is obvious.
It's not mine but Omega have come up with a new version of the First Omega In Space....the case is Sedna gold hence the 14,600 Euro price tag
Does this count?
Thanks - I'm a bit partial to them myself
Ooh, I've gone all weak at the kneesSome oldies from me:
If you can call a three-subdial layout a "panda" on the basis of colour (the 6 o'clock dial being the nose, I guess) then I have seen someone in our building wearing something that looks like this:
I don't know if it is a Longines, it's got a 1950s-ish polished case, quite slim, so that's where I started.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

Is a Panda dial white on black or black on white?
Do these count? Silver instead of white? You still get the contrast, just throwing it out there as an alternative
3,6,9 Chrono as requested by the OP (technically Silver dials)
6,9,12 Chrono (Again, Silver dial!)

A couple of my watches. The first a Wakmann which houses a Valjoux 7734 and was my first foray into vintage watches, bought off ebay about 10 years or so ago. AFAIK it dates from the late 60's/early 70's. The original case is plated base metal and had a few signs of degradation, so I rehoused it in a NOS and slightly larger steel case, which suits it well imho.
The second is my favourite watch, a Movado Datron from the early 70's which houses an El Primero movement. I prefer the layout of these Datrons because of the symmetry with the date being at 12 and not the Zenith style 4.30. Love the sound of hi-beat movements, it's music to your ears. I must get round to taking some better pics of it.
Cheers,
Gary
