Owners + reviewers, side by side

CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top for its excellent matte case finishing, precise seconds hand alignment, and dial reminiscent of vintage military watches. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as perfection with no play, are consistently highlighted as significant improvements over earlier versions. One owner noted the quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its solid construction, military significance, and terrific value.

Pagani Design PD-1773

Pagani Design PD-1773 owners praise its attractive copper/salmon dial and overall case finishing, with dimensions of 38mm diameter, 45.6mm lug to lug, and 13mm thickness noted as compact and wearable. Some owners find the dial busy and readability difficult, while others describe the lume as abysmal and wish for improved AR coating or matching lume on other variants. The bracelet receives mixed feedback, with some calling it light or "nasty" and noting difficulties with push pins, while one owner found it acceptable. Several owners suggest removing or color-matching the date window and improving the bracelet. On balance, owners appreciate the Pagani Design PD-1773 for its appealing aesthetics and compact dimensions, despite criticisms regarding lume and bracelet quality.
