Pagani Design PD-1718vsSugess Tourbillon Master SU8001

Pagani Design PD-1718 owners widely praise its Tudor-style chronograph design and the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement for offering sweeping seconds with quartz accuracy. The full stainless steel build and water resistance are noted as strong points for an everyday watch, with some finding the bracelet and clasp superior to typical offerings and the female end links an improvement for smaller wrists. One owner appreciates the black dial for legibility, while another enjoys the white dial's aesthetic on a racing strap. However, the lack of an AR coating on the crystal is a recurring observation, particularly when photographing the watch, and one owner noted the lume on the hands does not match the dial. The chronograph hand may not reset perfectly to 12 due to the meca-quartz movement, and one owner reported a functional issue with the chronograph engagement.

Owners widely praise the Sugess Tourbillon Master for its accessible tourbillon complication and value, with one owner noting an initial accuracy of +2 seconds per day. However, community feedback flags a winding stem that feels flimsy and straps that are considered poor, featuring a comically large buckle. Some owners report a degradation in accuracy to around -20 seconds per day after a month, and the steel case edges are described as rounded with the material proving soft and prone to scratching. On balance, owners view the Sugess Tourbillon Master as a remarkable value for its tourbillon feature, despite concerns regarding strap quality and long-term material durability.
