Welp, I finally did it, I tried on my holy grail and it was BEAUTIFUL! But at the moment I just couldn't pull the trigger. Are there any quality pandas similar to this around the $500 mark?

The Seiko Speedtimer (both v1 and V2) are good options. There is also a Suguess (Surgess? Idk how to spell it) that uses the manual-wind ST-1901 movement (used in the “seagull 1963” and has a panda dial. QC for the ST-1901 at the Sea-Gul factory is not the best but that’s part of why these Chinese watches using it are able to sell their watches for under US $500 and probably why other brands like it. They look good, but just be an informed consumer about it
