Hi All - newish to the forums. Just wanted to share one of my favorite watches that I bought a year ago from Analog Shift. It hadn't sold in a while and they let me take it at a very reasonable price. It was my response to lusting after the original Speedy Tuesday watch. I wanted a panda and I love the tightness of Lemania subdials.
Other things I love:
-It is all original
-It runs at +3 sec a day (better than my vintage and modern speedy... Which are 7-10 +secs)
-The grooves in the subdials are gorgeous
-The subdials are silvery, not painted white
-The dial is CLEAN
-The dial is also a perfect charcoal grey
-The lume is buttery
-The hands!

Things I don't love:
-Pandas (or this one) are significantly harder to read the basic time function - but great for reading elapsed time.

Anyway - enjoy!

The radial lines on the subdial seems to be a singer thing. Same on the singer dialed rolexes.

Mines a Sinn 903 with that movement and singer dial.
