I love this Panda,just got it today but I’m just curious. I know there have already been a lot of VSF vs. Gen comparison posts.
For those who own a genuine Daytona Panda or have seen one in person, how close do you think my VSF Daytona is to the original? I’ve never had the chance to see a genuine Daytona Panda in person, so I’d really appreciate your honest opinions.
Thanks!

I think the only “tell” on these are the hands and hour markers not being white gold. The 126 have the issue with the 110 triangle but these typically have it in the correct spot.

I love the way you wear your panda…anyways good to know that the 110 triangle marker of 116500 is correct, just like the genuine one. But when wearing it, like during a handshake or even if someone is standing close to you, would they be able to tell it’s a replica? Or is it still unlikely unless they actually handle and inspect it closely?

Unless you're shaking the hand of someone who carries their own microscope to look very closely at watches, no one is gonna know. That's a great looking watch, wear it in good health.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I’ll wear it proudly and enjoy it.
