What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT

Owners widely report issues with the DG5833GMT movement in the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT, including the minute hand jumping significantly when setting the time and general unreliability leading to failures within months. While one owner noted timekeeping within +/- 5 seconds per day, others suggest opting for models with the NH34 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT's movement reliability is a significant concern for owners.
