Pagani Design PD-1773vsStudio Underd0g Salmon

Pagani Design PD-1773 owners praise its impressive case finishing and attractive copper/salmon dial with a sunburst effect, depth, and cutouts, noting its 38mm diameter and compact 45.6mm lug to lug. However, the lume is described as abysmal, some find the busy dial's readability difficult, and owners suggest improvements to the bracelet and removal or color-matching of the date window. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1773 highly for its attractive dial and compact dimensions, despite criticisms of its lume and bracelet.

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Salmon for its unique, two-layered dial inspired by salmon skin, featuring a radially brushed metallic orange-pink lower part and a coarse, silvery dégradé shimmer upper part. The watch is powered by a decorated Swiss mono pusher movement with silky smooth winding, blued screws, and anthracite bridges, which one owner finds impressive. Accuracy is reported at ±5 seconds per day. Some owners find the £1700-£1800 price point difficult, especially given styling similarities to previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Studio Underd0g Salmon highly for its distinctive dial design and well-finished, smooth-winding monopusher movement.
