Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427vsPagani Design PD-1701 Gold Green

Owners praise the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427 for its fresh racing chronograph designs and dial aesthetics. Some owners find the 42mm case size larger than preferred. The faux-rally strap's non-functional perforations are noted, and one owner suggests the chronograph function may only track seconds, not fractions. Some anticipate price drops due to its quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427 positively for its racing-inspired dial aesthetics, though some find the case size large and the strap design questionable.

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1701 Gold Green for its solid build quality and finishing, especially for the price, with the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph functioning perfectly and featuring satisfying button clicks. The retro hands and hour markers are noted as attractive design elements, and the watch functions well as a timer. However, the gold tone is divisive, with some finding it too yellow or unappealing, and the green dial is described as drab by one owner. Criticisms also include a flimsy metal strap, subpar and fauxtina lume, sharp case edges, small subdial diameters, and a lack of AR coating on the sapphire crystal. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1701 Gold Green highly for its excellent value and functional meca-quartz chronograph, despite some polarizing aesthetic choices and minor build quality concerns.
