Hi everyone I've decided to try and acquire a Panda, is there anything specific I should be looking out for besides the usual advice that the chronograph seconds hand should reset to zero? Appreciate all input. Cheers!

There are aftermarket dials for Panda, need to keep a look out.

Do more research on vintage chrono to know about all the aftermarket parts to minimise the chance of getting one. Even the movt has aftermarket parts.

If you are uncomforable better stay away. That is my advice.

Before you buy, take a picture and post here. There are 6138 sexperts here who should be able to advise you. There are lots of things to look out for. Buying vintage watches is a risky business. If unsure, stay away.
