Luminox Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant 44mm

The Luminox Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant 44mm is praised for its lightweight and robust CARBONOX case, contributing to a visually appealing and legible design. One owner prefers the rubber strap's fit and feel over the NATO strap. Another owner found the 44mm dial too large for their boyfriend. Overall, owners rate the Luminox Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant 44mm highly for its robust CARBONOX case and legible design, though case size is a consideration for some.

Resco Stainless Red

Owners widely report excellent customer service from Resco, with multiple accounts of quick and fair repairs after accidents. One owner praises the traditional diver look, unique domed sapphire, and tight bezel tolerances, noting a loss of 9 seconds over 7 days. However, some owners have experienced rusting issues near the crown or date-adjusting screw, which the company stated was normal and might require occasional cleaning. One owner also cited difficulty with crown threading. Resco's NATOs are considered among the best available. Overall, owners rate the Resco Stainless Red highly for its customer service and durability, despite isolated reports of rusting.
