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-1706 GMT

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT's bracelet, noting its fantastic build with screw links and a bezel that exhibits no play. However, the Pearl DG5833A movement requires approximately 50 crown winds to start, and the rotor is described as noisy. The 60-click unidirectional bezel is criticized for not aligning precisely with 24 time zones, and some owners find the red crown ring unappealing. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT highly for its bracelet quality and bezel action, despite some noted movement and aesthetic quirks.
