What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Massena LAB Dato-Racer

Owners widely praise the Massena LAB Dato-Racer as an excellent everyday watch, appreciating its blend of 1970s-inspired aesthetics with modern dimensions. This model is a limited edition of 99 pieces. On balance, owners rate the Massena LAB Dato-Racer highly for its successful fusion of vintage design and contemporary wearability.

Pagani Design PD-1723

Pagani Design PD-1723 is praised for its attractive dial, sapphire crystal, and overall finishing, with owners appreciating its vintage-inspired aesthetics and minimalist logo. The watch is noted to wear larger than its 37mm case size due to a thin bezel and 20mm lugs, feeling closer to 39mm on a 7-inch wrist. Lume is a point of contention, with some finding it surprisingly good on the indices and 12 o'clock position, while others describe it as poor, particularly on the hands. The bracelet is widely considered to be of low quality, though some find it comfortable with a nice taper, and many owners prefer using aftermarket straps. Discrepancies between product listings and received watches, particularly regarding movement branding and the PT5000 movement's potential winding issues and rotor rattle, have been noted. The V2 update features an exhibition caseback and a clasp swap, which some owners prefer over the V1, while others favor the V1's hands and dial proportions.
