Resco Custom C7: DLC Gen2, Gold UDT dialvsSquale 1521

Owners widely report a cult following for the Resco Custom C7: DLC Gen2, Gold UDT dial, appreciating its great looks. Some owners note that warranty repairs must be sent to the US due to the brand's micro-brand status. One owner found their Resco durable and experienced good customer service after breaking a strap pin, though another commenter suggested Resco's customer service quality is not as high as Sangin's. On balance, owners value the Resco Custom C7: DLC Gen2, Gold UDT dial for its aesthetic appeal, though some question its value proposition.

Owners widely praise the Squale 1521 for its classic look and robust build, with specific mentions of its wearable 12.5mm thickness and refined case finishing. The 42mm case is noted by some to wear smaller, closer to 40mm, due to short lugs, feeling solid without being too large. However, opinions on the bracelet vary, with some finding it too flashy or stiff, and one owner reported moisture ingress after a shower due to a loose case back. The crown can be difficult to operate due to deep integration, and the 38-hour power reserve is considered old-school but reliable. Overall, owners rate the Squale 1521 highly for its classic design and wearability, despite some reservations about the bracelet and crown.
