Pagani Design PD-1653vsStudio Underd0g Salmon

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.

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Salmon for its unique, two-layered dial inspired by salmon skin, featuring a radially brushed metallic orange-pink lower part and a coarse, silvery dégradé shimmer upper part. The watch is powered by a decorated Swiss mono pusher movement with silky smooth winding, blued screws, and anthracite bridges, which one owner finds impressive. Accuracy is reported at ±5 seconds per day. Some owners find the £1700-£1800 price point difficult, especially given styling similarities to previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Studio Underd0g Salmon highly for its distinctive dial design and well-finished, smooth-winding monopusher movement.
