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-1764

The Pagani Design PD-1764's dial closely resembles an original Rolex Oyster Perpetual, making it almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The watch features smooth and precise bezel action. The case finishing is very well done, with a nice satin finish that's not too shiny and not too dull. The watch's price point is relatively high compared to other similar homages on the market. The lume is not very bright, which might be a drawback for those who want a easy to read in low-light conditions.

Vario 1918 Pilot

The Vario 1918 Pilot is praised for its classy, unique, and beautifully done vintage theme, especially its 45-degree tilted enamel dial and cathedral hands, offered at a bargain price. Owners note the Miyota 8N33 hand-wound movement with over 40 hours of power reserve and C3 lume. Some find the 40mm size a bit small for larger wrists, and the Vario logo is occasionally seen as out of place. The tilted dial is impractical for right-wrist wear, and one owner reported disappointment with the movement's loudness. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1918 Pilot well for its unique dial execution and vintage aesthetic at an accessible price point.
