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 Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
