Kung Fu Panda vs Hulk


A collector whom had previously purchased a couple of Batmen from me, was interested to next go for either the Hulk or Panda that I was letting go now. Price-aside, whereby Hulk was RM49.5k while Panda was RM16k; the real question was which piece would be the better fit on his wrist.


His wrist was on the slimmer side, so I instinctively knew that the Panda would be a great fit and would match him well. But if the piece was to be an investment piece and not to be worn, then obviously the Hulk would be the better buy.

Kermit was produced for 7 years before it was discontinued, and Hulk had been in production for 8 years so the friendly ADs opined that Hulk could be going towards a similar fate in the near future. Speedy Panda had been appreciating like nobody's business amongst collectors, and the one that I was releasing was a discontinued piece (although there was a local grey retailer with a NOS piece selling at RM29k, with its own 2-year reseller warranty).

You could explore the adverts here : Kung Fu Panda vs Hulk. So his dilemma was, which piece to go for?

I guess all of us have been there, so here're some pictures to help him make his decision better. Check out the real world sizes, thickness, and wear on the wrist. Both pieces came with manufacturers' warranty so at least there would be no consideration on the movements. Here goes...







One piece was created to explore the vastness of space, while the other was to explore the depth of the ocean. Panda would wear thinner, even though it has a chrono; and would fit easily under one's cuff. The Hulk on the other hand, had a sunburst green that was really attractive and simply had to be seen in person.

So here you go, mate- the ball's in your court now.

  1. The Speedmaster Panda was already discontinued. Your price is almost 50% compared to retail for new old stock. No question at all which to choose, man! If I was in Asia, I would grab it like it's hot.
