You'll read my first impressions on Rob's blog in due course. Suffice to say I'm very happy this morning.
Charlie, first of all I want to congratulate you, so glad you got one. That sure is one true Ice Panda, magical dial.
I don't know if you know but I am actually a very famous horology scientist. As input to this study I am performing I wanted to ask you if you could share with us how this new Ice Panda H02 behaves compared to your previous one? How is the hand winding, how wobbly is the rotor, how loud is it compared to previous references? All the details you got, much appreciated.
Happy panda day my friend
I can help as I am always one to support science!
Wobble and noise I would estimate at 50% reduction. It's still there but definitely not as noticeable as before. The rotor also doesn't free-spin for as long.
Hand winding and pusher action, the same. (I think they were already pretty good for an automatic chronograph)
I would agree with 50% for the wobble, but maybe only about 35% for the noise. And yes, not quite as free-spinning as before, but still more than most watches.
