Lorier Falcon SIIIvsPagani Design PD-1777

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Lorier Falcon SIII for its impressive finishing at its price point, a svelte 36mm case that evokes vintage aesthetics and fits well on smaller wrists, and a clear, domed hesalite crystal. The legible BGW9 lume and high-quality tapering bracelet are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note that the dial's diamond pattern can make minute markers difficult to read in certain light, and one owner found the lume intensity could be more consistent. The Falcon SIII utilizes the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Falcon SIII highly for its vintage-inspired design and excellent finishing for the price.

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1777 for its exceptional finishing, dial, and bracelet, with one owner calling it "amazing" and planning constant wear. The watch is noted for its solid feel and a smoother bracelet than typical offerings, all at a $38.00 price point. However, the busy dial, tachymeter bezel on a non-chronograph, and thin silver hands on the black dial make time-telling difficult, especially in dim light. The Chinese automatic movement, identified as a Hangzhou 2196, runs at less than +15 seconds per day. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1777 highly for its impressive finishing and value, despite legibility challenges.
