Furlan Marri Disco Onyx DiamondsvsPagani Design PD-1661

The Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds is lauded for its striking black onyx dial, elegant lab-grown baguette diamond hour markers, and art deco design. Owners and reviewers highlight the watch's beautiful appearance and vintage charm, noting its comfortable 38mm case with hidden lugs and a slim 8.95mm profile. The manual-winding Peseux 7001 movement, decorated and considered a good fit for the slim case, is also a point of praise. However, some find the CHF 3,500 price steep for a microbrand watch with an off-the-shelf movement and case, with one owner noting this diamond-embellished version is significantly more expensive than other Furlan Marri models. The design is also noted by one source as potentially reminiscent of other brands. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Furlan Marri Disco Onyx Diamonds highly for its luxurious dial and diamond indices, despite some reservations about its price and movement origin.

The Pagani Design PD-1661 is widely praised for its excellent value, featuring a stainless steel case, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, and solid end links. Owners consistently note its attractive appearance and impressive specifications for the price, around $89-$90, with one owner confirming it accepts standard Submariner bezel inserts. However, multiple owners report poor lume and sharp edges on the bracelet, which also lacks micro-adjustment options. The bezel action is described as not tight, and accuracy averages around +10 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1661 highly for its stunning appearance and specifications at the price point, despite noted drawbacks in lume and bracelet comfort.
