Which LE appeals to you more?

Which LE dial appeals to you more? Gemini IV 40th anniversary or Apollo 11 35th Anniversary?


Here is the stunning Gemini LE edition and I think the mini dial has a slightly more refined finish vs. the Panda. Overall, a very sharp piece:





Here is the Paul Newman styled black on white dial which is always hard to resist. The contrast and the symmetry combines perfectly I think:

Gemini IV. The dial combination of blue and silver is amazing in person. I had one for a couple of years. I've flipped a lot of watches over the years and that one is at the top of my regret list. Actually it's the only one on my regret list.

I have gone through the panda twice myself. The gemini does indeed have this unique pop that I can not describe. The more I look at it, the more I like it!

I'm wearing this watch today. I specifically picked it over the panda due to the superior legibility. If the panda was made with black hands and indices I would have picked it.

Just received a mint condition 35th Anniversary Panda from Kringkily and it is awesome, #1167/3500. The black subdials on the white face really pop with the black tach bezel. I actually think it looks better than my S/S Daytona with black dial...
