What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.

Pagani Design PD-1649

The Pagani Design PD-1649 is praised for its attractive appearance, though some owners note a large case and crown. The 60-click bezel is flagged for significant back play, and the lume is considered poor. Owners report the stock leather strap can be tight at the lugs, and one owner upgraded the mineral crystal for better anti-reflective coating, while also questioning the 3 o'clock date window placement. On balance, owners appreciate the aesthetic of the Pagani Design PD-1649, with a common point of contention being the bezel back play and crystal quality.
