What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Pagani Design PD-1708

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1708's solid build and surprisingly high-quality finishing for its price point, with one owner noting a comfortable 38mm case and a well-made tapered mesh bracelet featuring a signed safety clasp. However, the lume is described as a bit weak, though evenly applied. Accuracy with the VK64 movement averaged around +6.5 seconds per month over 14 months. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1708 highly for its value and bracelet quality at its price.

From video reviewers

The Pagani Design PD-1708 features a reliable and accurate Japanese VK64 movement. A notable weakness is the lume brightness, which could be improved, particularly in low-light conditions. Reviewers disagree on the bezel diameter, with some users potentially finding it small for the 46mm case length, while others may not have an issue with it.
