Resco BlackFrog UDT (DLC Titanium, Quartz/Auto)

Owners widely report that the DLC titanium case, while hard, is prone to microscopic chipping and scratching.

The company's customer service and customization options are consistently praised, though some owners question the value proposition given the movement. On balance, owners appreciate the Resco BlackFrog UDT (DLC Titanium, Quartz/Auto) for its robust case and customer service, despite concerns about the DLC coating's durability.

Resco DLC

Owners widely report Resco watches are tough and American-made, with one owner detailing exceptional service after a severe accident damaged their Patriot Titanium, and another noting helpful customer service when a strap pin broke. The bezel action is described as tight, and the lume is bright. One owner notes the matte caseback scratches easily from strap wear. The winding action is described as rough, attributed to the model line, and one reviewer felt that for $1400, a higher level of refinement was expected, finding the case finishing comparable to significantly less expensive models. On balance, owners value the ruggedness and customer service of the Resco DLC, despite some reservations about case finishing and winding refinement at its price point.
