Pagani Design PD-1788 GMT NH34

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1788 GMT NH34 for its good size and attractive design, with some noting it appears to be a quality step up for the brand. However, opinions are split on its value and aesthetic execution; some owners love it and find it cool, while others consider it a poor copy, too expensive, and note issues like faded dial print and a bracelet that looks bad on certain variants. One owner found their unit arrived DOA, and another suggests regulating the NH34 movement for reliability. Overall, owners are divided on the Pagani Design PD-1788 GMT NH34, with strong opinions ranging from love for its design and perceived quality to criticism of its execution and price point.

Phoibos Reef Master

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Reef Master for its exceptional value, highlighting its sapphire crystal, DLC coating, and extensive BGW9 lume. The watch is noted for its cool lume, with one owner finding it not bulky despite its robust build. The Shamrock Green dial and texture are highly praised, as is the comfortable bracelet with solid end links. However, the bezel action is described as rough, and the basic folding clasp is a disappointment. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner seeing +-2 sec/day. Some find the 42mm size almost too big for their wrists, and the date window is considered too small. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Reef Master highly for its impressive feature set and value at its price point.
