What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT's bracelet, noting its fantastic build with screw links and a bezel that exhibits no play. However, the Pearl DG5833A movement requires approximately 50 crown winds to start, and the rotor is described as noisy. The 60-click unidirectional bezel is criticized for not aligning precisely with 24 time zones, and some owners find the red crown ring unappealing. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1706 GMT highly for its bracelet quality and bezel action, despite some noted movement and aesthetic quirks.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
