Lilienthal Berlin HuxleyvsPagani Design PD-1753

Owners widely appreciate the blue and orange sunburst dial and consider the finishing and blue leather strap good value, especially during sales. Some owners typically avoid quartz movements but made an exception for the Lilienthal Berlin Huxley's dial. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin Huxley highly for its attractive dial and good finishing at the price point.

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1753 for its retro aesthetic, 100m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and the reliable Seiko NH35A movement. The 40mm case and bracelet are generally well-received, with one owner preferring it over another popular model. Some owners appreciate the chapter ring's contrast, while others find the white minute track distracting and the bezel disproportionately large. The watch is noted as a base for modifications. Weak lume is a common criticism, and the bracelet's split pins, lack of micro-adjustment, and clasp engraving are flagged as areas lacking premium execution. The 40mm case size, while appreciated by some, disappointed others seeking a smaller watch. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1753 highly for its retro aesthetic and solid build at the price point, despite some noted bracelet and sizing concerns.
