Lorier AstravsPagani Design PD-1733

The Lorier Astra is praised for its outstanding details and design language, hitting a "dressy sports watch" vibe with a beautiful sector dial and lume. Owners note its versatile, do-it-all design with classic proportions and refined details like beveled markers, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The watch wears slightly larger than its 36mm case suggests, closer to 38mm, with lugs that taper and curve downward to fit well on smaller wrists. However, the bracelet feels a bit light, some screws are difficult to remove, and the Miyota movement can gain around 8 seconds in 12 hours with potentially offset date numerals. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Astra highly for its dressy sports watch aesthetic and refined details at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1733 for its value, with specific commendations for the dial appearance, case finishing, green sapphire glass, and micro-adjustable bracelet. The watch is noted for its lack of prominent branding, except on the clasp. However, multiple owners report weak lume, a bezel that scratches easily, and a stiff or difficult-to-open bracelet clasp, with some suggesting modifications. One owner clarifies the crystal is not green, but the gasket is. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1733 highly for its impressive finishing and features at its price point, despite noted weaknesses in lume and clasp functionality.
