Pagani Design PD-1717vsLongines LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION

Pagani Design PD-1717 owners widely praise its value for money and competent finishing, highlighting its admirable lug drop and unique dial step. However, reviewers and owners consistently note its weak lume and a 13mm thickness. Some owners report ill-fitting end links and disappointing AR coating. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1717 highly for its impressive value and competent finishing at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its attractive designs, heritage feel, and value, with specific models highlighted for their legibility and manageable sizes. One owner finds the 40mm moonphase chronograph complete calendar mesmerizing and versatile at around $1700, while another appreciates the 38mm World Timer's looks and blue hands. A drawback noted across different models is limited water resistance, with one owner selling their watch due to this, and the World Timer disc requiring manual adjustment for daylight saving time in some areas. On balance, owners rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition, despite some limitations in water resistance and functionality.
