CIGA Design EASTERN JADE

CIGA Design is widely seen as a compelling, avant-garde design for its price. Owners and reviewers note the proprietary ceramic jade case offers a weighty, cool feel, and the skeletonized dial is surprisingly legible with effective hour indices and varied finishing. However, the CD-02 automatic movement's accuracy is rated conservatively at -15/+30 seconds per day, and the plain caseback and 30-meter water resistance are noted downsides. Some owners have reported issues with the movement after varying periods of use, with one experiencing a rotor issue after over a year of daily wear and another's watch stopping after two months. The accompanying ceramic bracelet is described as simple with wider tolerances, and one owner found the included leather strap subpar. Overall, owners and reviewers rate CIGA Design highly for its avant-garde aesthetic and value, despite some concerns regarding movement reliability and accuracy.

Pagani Design PD-1764

The Pagani Design PD-1764's dial closely resembles an original Rolex Oyster Perpetual, making it almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The watch features smooth and precise bezel action. The case finishing is very well done, with a nice satin finish that's not too shiny and not too dull. The watch's price point is relatively high compared to other similar homages on the market. The lume is not very bright, which might be a drawback for those who want a easy to read in low-light conditions.
