Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Resco Custom C9: DLC Gen2, Stealth UDT dial

Owners widely praise the Resco's dial details, such as small 0.2-second indices and a trident second hand, along with its versatile, strongly cased, traditional diver look. Some owners note the bezel requires breaking in, and one experienced a significant financial loss on a return. Warranty repairs must be sent to the US. Overall, owners rate Resco highly for its distinctive dial elements and robust build, despite concerns about value and repair logistics.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
