The Thorn 37mm PT5000 Automatic Dive Watch T028 is noted to have a thicker bezel and top hat crystal, contributing to a perceived top-heaviness and a case height of 13.4mm. On balance, owners value the smooth winding and accurate timekeeping of the Thorn 37mm PT5000 Automatic Dive Watch T028, despite some finding its proportions top-heavy.
Owners widely praise the Thorn 40mm PT5000 Automatic Dive Watch T023 V1 for its value and vintage aesthetic, with many appreciating its wearability and proportions, which contribute to a slimmer profile than many similar watches. The PT5000 movement is specifically lauded for its smooth second-hand sweep and impressive accuracy, with one owner reporting within 0/+2 seconds per day. The bracelet is noted as a point of contention, with one owner finding it of lesser quality compared to other Thorn retro diver models.
