What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pagani Design PD-1653

Pagani Design PD-1653 owners praise its awesome and cool appearance, with working subdials for 24-hour indication and functional pushers for day/date changes, though one owner notes the chronograph subdials are not functional. Accuracy is reported at +2.7 seconds/day initially, settling to +5.8 seconds/day. The watch is described as a fun, quirky, and polarizing homage, with opinions ranging from loving its F1 paddock suitability to calling it a "tasteless eyesore" while still desiring one. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1653 highly for its amazing value and build quality at its price point, despite some polarizing design elements.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
