Lorier RooseveltvsPagani Design PD-1731

Owners widely praise the Lorier Roosevelt's stunning dial, precise stamping, and clean printing, with its brass case and Horween strap also receiving positive remarks. Some owners find it wears perfectly on a 7" wrist. However, the Miyota 9-series rotor is noted as being "insanely loud," and the original $800 price point is considered steep by some, particularly given the lack of lume and competition. One owner sold it for $525, highlighting it as a great deal on a sold-out item. Overall, owners value the Lorier Roosevelt for its attractive dial and case finishing, though price and rotor noise are points of contention.

Pagani Design PD-1731 owners praise its simple, neutral dial that pairs well with various straps and bracelets, along with its good build quality and materials. The watch is powered by a Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement and is widely considered outstanding value. One owner noted an issue with a bracelet screw. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1731 highly for its versatility and value.
