Why it scores as it does
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Lug-to-lug is neither published nor measured for one of the two watches, so there is not enough data to score.
Proportions— / 30

- Case and bezel materials2 / 4316L steel case and bracelet with a ceramic bezel. The original record lists 904L Oystersteel and Cerachrom ceramic.
- Crystal shape and date window2 / 4Sapphire on both. The brand pages do not mention a cyclops; reviewers describe one over the date, and the original record leaves cyclops null.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 5 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers who handled the PD-1662 describe a well-finished case and a clean ceramic bezel for the price. Two reviewers found no finishing defects on the case or bracelet, and one praised the crisp dial and GMT hand. The Pearl DG5833GMT movement is the main point of doubt. One reviewer timed a unit at about +12 seconds per day against a stated range of -20 to +40, and said movement quality depends on the individual unit.
Bezel action is the most disputed point. One reviewer found the bezel tight with no play. Two others found it loose, and one of them had to reset it often while wearing it. Lume and the date cyclops are also mixed: one reviewer rated the lume as weak, another praised it, and one said the cyclops is not lined up well over the date. Reviewers described the bracelet as solid, with micro-adjustment.
Good
- Automatic GMT movement with a 24-hour bezel and GMT hand, on the Pearl DG5833GMT calibre.
- Sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance.
- Solid stainless steel bracelet with micro-adjustment and an end-link extension, which reviewers found a good fit.
- Several colourways on one case, including black and blue, blue and red, and rose gold.
Less good
- Bezel action varies between units: some reviewers report side-to-side play, and one found it tight.
- Lume has been rated both weak and strong by different reviewers.
- Reviewers report noticeable gaps between bracelet links and some rattle.
- One reviewer quotes a stated rate range of -20 to +40 seconds per day and says units vary.
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- Two reviewers report the bezel has side-to-side play, and one had to reset its position often while wearing the watch.
