- I have reviewed a few Submariner homages, but I’ve never handled a Pagani before. At long last, I have one in my hands. I’ve always wondered if they’re actually any good, as they pack a massive punch for an incredible price.
So then, let’s take a look. Are they really that good? Let’s find out.

I used to hate homage watches. However, in recent years, I have changed my opinions of them, especially on Pagani Design. Its kind of like a slap on the face and a wake up call for myself on the real values of Rolex watches. If a Chinese company can make such good quality watches with sapphire and ceramic bezel at such a low price, you will know how overpriced it is for genuine Rolex. I think Pagani is on a mission here. 👍👍👍
I agree, and to be honest, the real reason why “Rolex” charges so much for their watches isn’t necessarily for the Quality, even though the quality of their watches is amazing (and it better be if they are charging $$$$$) but most people who purchase Rolexes and who are impressed with those watches are probably buying them for the “Rolex” name.They’ve done a better job marketing the watch than they did making it haha
@BB B Agreed, and if you look at watches of a similar quality to Rolex, they are cheaper or more impressive mechanically or sometimes both.
Everything's overpriced... we're just becoming smarter and more informed.
@@PedroDVC We are well informed that's for sure, especially with the widespread use of social media such as IG and youtube. However, I'm not sure if people are getting smarter.
@@BBB-ex3ti I would consider buying a Rolex at retail price even if it doesn't appreciate a dime on resale value, but not a chance for those rediculous grey market prices.
Hello from the States! VERY proper review! I have 5 Pagani Rolex & Omega homage watches and they’re simply wonderful. 3 years on and the movements are perfect, quality still holds up, and the only thing I changed was one oyster bracelet (due to the clasp being a bit sharp on the edges).
Nice review. I have about 8 Pagani Design watches now. Various homages and I've enjoyed every single one of them. For me they are conversation starters, watch people will stop me and tell me how nice it appears, they are always stunned when I tell them the prices and features of these things. I just ordered this GMT homage in full black with jubilee bracelet for a steal of $59 Canadian dollars. Can't wait to wear it! Simply put, these homages by Pagani Design have qualities that even the purest of watch enthusiasts can respect.
I have had one of these for 5 months now (feels like I have had it longer, which is a good thing!). First of all, I loved your review. I am just adding more context since, like you said, the QA on these can be hit or miss.
From my experience, the bezel doesn't have any wobble in it, though I don't have experience with many expensive watches. I know the bezels were improved about 6 months ago so it is possible you got an older one. The bezel is 120 click which I think is superior to the bezel on the 24 click bezel on the Rolex since it allows you to use the bezel for timing like the Submariner or tracking time zones like the GMT Master.
I actually didn't even bother with the lume when I first got it since I had read so many times that it was terrible. However, I have noticed in the last couple months that I can read it just fine at night after wearing it all day. This is without doing anything special to charge it and after sitting at my desk job all day. It may be kind of faint, but I have grown to trust that I can read it in my bleary eyed stupor when I wake up in the middle of the night.
The movement in my watch is usually between 5-9 seconds slow every day when wearing it, but 4 seconds fast when face up on my desk. All of those times are per day. I have stopped checking the time very often and grown to trust that it will be within a minute or so during the week. (The date was a day behind this morning since we just had a 30 day month and the watch has 31 days on the day wheel, but that is my fault and a problem that even a Rolex GMT Master II would have had.)
I hate the cyclops. Again, I don't have a lot of experience with genuine Rolex watches with a cyclops, but this one makes the minutes from 13 to 17 just about useless. I haven't gotten up the courage to remove it yet, but I am tempted.
Since I bought this watch in June it has been my daily driver, my favorite watch. It has replaced my Casio and Timex watches. I am rarely without this watch and I am looking at other Pagani Design watches for my next purchase.
Thanks for your detailed comment and experience!
Good luck. You’ve gotten a good one, so start looking at San Martin, Cronos, or even Bliger or Phylida. All have QC far surpassing that of Pagani Design. You’ve been warned!
Mine stopped working after 2 weeks...threw it in a drawer...bought a new movement..opened the back to start disassemble...touched one of the train of wheels with a toothpick and away it went....some garbage in there that i dislodged i assume...ticking away happily ever since..
That's very well said & written dude. Infact, I do have a Rolex but with years, the Pagani Design has grown on me & honestly, all of them are awesome & are to my expectations. So, I wear them & don't complain. Life isn't easy nowadays & I can't afford throwing away hard earned money on luxurious watches & if Pagani has decided to make very good homage watches, I'm simply satisfied with what they offer. Simplicity is the best virtue in life. By wearing a different Pagani watch daily, it makes my day positive & smooth. Thanks Pagani for providing to us that facility of having a homage watch & easing our life with affordable watches.
@@RAVI171175 I own Rolexes and Omegas and people never compliment me on them. However, I get looks and compliments at the Pagani Design GMT coke with red Silicone bracelet. Hilarious!!
I have one of these on a Jubilee - no threading problems - and the lens is perfectly aligned as is the bezel - and I've snorkel dived with it.
Lume is shit though.
The watch that changed my whole outlook on the industry.
Awesome to hear all of this! One question: Is it possible to set the GMT hand independently from the hour hand? (Setting a reference timezone like on the original GMT II?)
I find it a bit refreshing to see honest reviews that don't crap all over the watch while also not sucking them off.
Can’t beat Pagani for quality and price, all things considered…
I’ve had a panda Pagani Daytona for a year and it’s still good as new, accurate down to the second for at LEAST two months
@@bmack6743 Super Uhr für das Geld.
Love my Pagani Design. I am pretty sure my GMT was less than $150. Tremendous bang for the buck and made me reevaluate the 'logic' of spending over $500 or $600 on a watch. If pure accuracy is the goal, then a phone or $100 quartz movement is the answer. As far as 'craftsmanship', I think people would be surprised to see the quantity of cheap plastic components inside of their multi thousand dollar watches.
Have also noticed that almost universally, my least expensive watches are the most difficult to scratch, whether that be the case or bracelet. Have a 15 year old Timex quartz that was an 18 hour/day daily........for about 5 years. Sat in my dusty garage for 4 years, and I am confident that if I replace the battery, will continue to run like a German sewing machine.
It took me far too long to realize that the watches I wear most often and that spark the most joy for me, are overwhelmingly my least expensive. Not to type that I would, "never" buy another 'expensive' watch, but it would have to be something that REALLY knocked my socks off and I don't want to pay through the nose simply because of a company's marketing budget and choice of 'brand ambassador'.
Just found your channel and Subbed.! I don't understand why Pagani Design watches get so much criticism. They make good watches for the price and almost no QC issues. They're one of my favorite homage makers. Fantastic beaters.
Thanks so much for the sub! Glad you liked the design :)
I bought a couple Paganis and a Bliger off of Ali Express, thinking it would be a good way to test a few styles and sizes before “investing” in a Rolex. These homage watches are effing amazing for their price point. I’ll probably keep my year 2000 Omega Seamaster and my 2020 Grand Seiko as my “best watches”, and wear these when I crave a change. Three watches from Ali Express cost me $250 US and probably saved me $15 to $20 thousand by killing the urge to upgrade my collection.
You could search also for San Martin Watches the same idea of Pagani, but better quality and logo.
😂😂😂😂😂utter rubbish
Honestly, I like these Pagani GMT for vacations. It is a nice looking watch. The GMT is useful if you are crossing time zone, and if it gets scratched up, lost or stolen you are not going to cry about it. I trust the water resistance, I never had a problem with them snorkeling and swimming.
Imagine getting your hand chopped off in a mugging and the thief gets so pissed that it's not a Rolex lol.
Now in these strange times. you will be shot dead for a rolex. Even if it is fake. they don't see the difference at that point. Is my worth that.No fucking way
The thing is, if your getting mugged for your watch you just take it off and give it to them - you never know, they may even throw it back at you!
What’s your point
I've watched about 20 reviews of Pagani Rolex homages and this is the exact model (and bracelet) I'm going with. Thanks for the great review!
My pleasure, enjoy! Thanks for watching :)
You said it; "brilliant for the price". I have the PD1644 (80€), Homage to the Rolex Daytona as it's also known, and I'm very, very happy with it. And now I'm looking forward to buying the PD1701 (97€), homage to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Impossible for me to even dream of purchasing the originals, which would have crippled me by 20500€ at least!
I have had my batman & day just homages for over a year.
Put both through torture at work and still work & look great.
I have the Riddler version and I love it. Keeps very good time too. It looks great and feels great to wear.
Just got my 2 tone pagani jubilee datejust . Liking it so far..
I have 3 Paganis and they definitely are conversation starters. I'm an introvert and am not particularly good at networking, but I've made some acquaintances thanks to my Chinese homage watches.
I just got a Pagani design a couple of weeks ago, it's a meca quartz chronograph, a homage to the Omega Planet ocean, I didn't know at the time, I just liked the look of it, and it works fantastic, and for like 60 bucks
Excellent video very well put together thank you
Love my Pepsi on a jubilee bracelet. The bezel has only very minimal play left and right. The crown is very smooth. A year down the line and its keeping very good time +-5s a day. The timeograph tells it's own story of beat errors though. Mine seems to run best on the wrist. If it lasts 3 years then it was well worth it. 2yrs would be acceptable for the price.
I just ordered exactly same Batman GMT Pagani Design it’s 26 British pounds at the moment, can’t wait to receive it!
I agree totally… I own a few Paganis, Sugues, and Parnis with NH35A, Seagull, or VK63 movements and have nothing but good things to say about them given the price. I own a few Seikos, Citizens, Casios, and Bulova moon watch, my most expensive watch is an Oris Aquis which is way, way cheaper than a Rolex Sub. Mechanically, built quality, and aesthetics it has nothing to envy the Rolex, it runs at +1 seconds a day without COSC Certification ! The other major point is that it does not look like a Rolex Submariner . Most people buy a Rolex for the name and to showoff….watch snobs, most don’t even know what a Pallet Fork, mainspring, or a balance wheel is and what their functions are, and don’t get me going on their maintenance charges…..
Great video, first time on the channel and I subscribed….thank you.
Very well said dude & I totally agree with you.
Buy a real watch
@@mema4922 Yeah man, i bet the big companies enjoy taking your money for old rope. Read the room man; rolex etc were small once, and Pasgani is producing quality timepieces that are rapidly producing quality at a fantastic price. Long may it continue.....r
Why should someone buying a watch, regardless of the brand, need to know what a pallet fork, mainspring or balance wheel is exactly? Sorry, but you come across like a bit of a snob yourself.
I own a few "entry level" Swiss made watches from Hamilton, Tudor and Montblanc and I love them all. But I have also recetly purchased a couple of Pagani Design watches and love them too. If you're going to buy a Homage watch I think there should be a justified reason. For example, I bought a "rose gold" PD1651, simply because I can't afford an Oysterflex Yachtmaster. I also bought a PD1671, because although I already own a Tudor Black Bay, I like that the Pagani option gives me the look of my Black Bay but with the addition of the date function. Swiss watches will always be "nicer" and a bit more special. But these look great, tell the time and serve a purpose. I am also a lot less precious about them and don't mind wearing them is situations where I would be more nervous wearing a more expensive Swiss option.
I've got one and swim with it. I got one with an all red bezel as I do not want a Batman clone. I collect GMT's but JDM's by Citizen and wanted a cheap beater. I love it. Its very accurate
I picked this watch up a few weeks ago and I am blown away at how good it is for the price. I have a Rolex SD 43 that I love and can tell the difference in quality. I can't get a Batman from an OD and I would never pay the Grey Market prices. This is truly amazing. $100 instead of paying $25K. Also, is something were to happen to this watch I would not be upset.
You can or can't tell the difference ?
Have had my Pagani Design "Daytona" for 2 years now. Absolutely pleased with the performance. The bezel and case is rugged and its waterproof in a marine environment. It has kept quite accurate varying 3 sections fast in a month or so by GPS time. Have had much more expensive watches that were nowhere as dependable as this watch.
Is it automatic or quartz ???
They are all mechanical
Mechanical and automatic depending on what watch its an homage to
It would be great to know how accurate the watch is with the pearl mechanism?
I have another Pagani design watch, with chronograph and chose that one particularly because it has a Seiko quartz movement so should be fairly accurate.
I had hear it best to avoid the cheap automatic mechanisms and if buying a cheap watch go for a quartz.
So open to be convinced by you on accuracy?
I brought the lefties version and it feels good wearing it, if the maker put a series number on each watch, it will further upgrade the image of the brand!
Have several of these and they held up MUCH better than any of my Seiko divers. Much better. While
I understand your doubts, I've taken mines everywhere and also underwater with just zero issue. The bezels don't have the play you mentionned and the crown screws nicely.
The only thing those watches don't have is a renowned swiss movement.
I’ve got Pagani and Invicta watches. I’ve not had a problem with mine and they look great. 😊
I used to hate on Paganis but they sometimes come up with homages that are different enough to get my attention. Their quality has improved over the years. If they offered this watch with a unique color variant and/or bezel color, I would seriously consider getting one and I don't even need a GMT watch.
Great review. Might just get one. Cheers.
I have one of those and went several times diving with it - no issues at all. Great quality. Sometimes I wonder why I bought my rolex for X150 the price since there is no that big of a difference. It is just a watch at the end.
I love it!!! Thank you and great objective review.
Ive owed two different Rolex's in my life (GMTII & President) neither kept good time at all; I do love the look of their watches though. I own an "all gold & white face" Daytona Style one from Invicta and honestly no one has ever said anything to me except.."nice watch", even though at my age I won't wear a gold watch anymore. I got on the smartwatch train along with everyone else, purchased a Garmin Fenix 6x pro and a AWU. And for exercise they can't be beat,. Other than that they are bothersome with all of the notifications and alerts. I just want a nice looking watch now that I'm much older; and only walk for exercise now. (My triathlon days are far behind me with this RA.)
I just ordered this exact watch & color-way so I'll have to report back on how it fits my needs after receiving it.
I was glad that you took the time to post a review,
Thank you sir.
Peace & Blessings

Nice straight up video, but man! Can you do something about your intro music level being WAY louder than your main video dialogue please. 😳
Oh hell sorry!
I wanted this color version (blue/black), however the Root beer two tone actually has much better lume. Seems like inconsistent experiences between different color variants
Pagani watches are fantastic value! You forgot to mention that adjusting the strap is super simple as they have screw in pins with the screwdriver supplied. They also come nicely boxed with instructions, tags, etc. I've just paid £33 for a chronograph sport watch! I forgot to mention that the illumination on mine is perfect.👌
I wanna get one but I’m not sure if it’s movement is going to be good or if the watch will be durable enough
They’re really good & I think they’re getting better. Now they’re starting to do a lot of Seiko homages. Nobody can see from a distance what watch it is. The Pagani GTM uses a poor man’s 21j GMT movement. Cronos & San Martin uses a proper 28800bph « caller” GMT. But you still need to buy a Hamilton or Mido if you want an affordable traveler’s GMT.
The Pagani Design uses a 120 click unidirectional ceramic “Batman” or aluminium “Pepsi » bezel. Cronos & San Martin uses a 24 click bidirectional Ceramic bezel on both models.
If you don’t like the yachtmaster oysters bracelet. Cronos & San Martin uses the jubilee bracelet, but Cronos has a non homage deployment clasp. The lume is also much better on the San Martin & Cronos models.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to curiosity & satisfaction. Is it interesting enough & is it satisfying enough?
San Martin and Cronos are double or more about the pagani price. Considering it the pagani is a great deal.
@@nicacioalencar5560 it’s the rule of diminishing returns. You can’t expect twice the quality for twice the price. But if you like details, you’ll appreciate the marginal difference. -better lume, better polish, better bezel action, AR coating, aligned crown, engraved apposed to laser engraved, platinum plated nickel bezel, etc, etc…
It does provide best possible quality for a watch at this price level. When the original design is costing so much, homage does make every sense. A similar move in phone product when iPhone is expensive, Xiaomi is god-sent.
Incredible watches...for the price!
The second part of that is the real important part
Exactly. Flawed, definitely. But it's all relative on how much they cost!
I have a Pagani Design submariner Hulk, datejust and GMT. Have to be honest, I'm really pleased with them. They keep time well, not much power reserve and a few sharp edges, but all round, I think they are very nice, well built watches.
I absolutely love mine. I think it’s great period. You can leave off “for the price.”
Good point! Thanks for watching!
I honestly think these watches are amazing tho I would avoid unknown movements and opt for NH35/36 or Miyota. They offer more than Seiko at 100-400€ price range.
PD as others have said are excellent value v materials. I have three, smurf sub, Daytona and tag chrono. All you mention is true pro and con. Lume on mine are all ok. If you want the look of a Rolex, Tag or Omega then Pagani has the model for you for alot less.
Homage I'm okay with but a straight copy and name too is where i would draw the Line.
Homage watches are like a bit of "desire therapy".
They are 'legally' allowed to follow an original design, but of course, with a noticeable difference. It still allows one to enjoy what cannot be easily afforded or acquired, especially of the homage watch is of good quality.
I had sooo long desired a Paul Newman Dial watch and I knew how impossible getting that grail would be. Then, someone was selling a Pagani Design version of it (as if the opportunity fell out of the sky for me from God) ... and I bought it (had to pay in full, but negotiated with partial payments).
I somehow feel.. "satisfied" with it and that hunger in my heart for that grail has ceased. Others may disagree, but then.... who cares? Im happy 😊
Can't beat them for the price I will see if they last as long as my Invicta Pro Diver great video.
Thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t mind paying Rolex retail, I object to how the internet and scalpers savage markets and inflate things to stratospheric prices, with certain YT watch snobs circle-jerking themselves into smug oblivion. So, guess what, I now smile when I see watches like Pagani. I think I’m going to buy every one. I must declare though, that I am fortunate to have reached an age where I couldn’t care less what someone else thinks of anything I do, or what watch I choose to wear. I am not embarrassed at all in the Paddock when I climb out of my Porsche wearing my Pagani Paul Newman homage.
Seriously, purchasing branded watches is because of personal ego. I stop spending on luxury watches. I only keep a few in my collections. I start buying microbrand and homage. NH35 is a reliable movement. This movement is as good as the swiss movement SW200 or Sw200-1. These watches come with sapphire crystal and excellent lume (C3). Also, they are very cost-effective.
Yeah, people that spend thousands on branded watches are either rich with more money than they know what do with, or dumb with a fragile ego, which explains why they'd hate these homages.
I completely agree with this. This shaming is mainly from those who want to feel elite and exclusive. Enjoy wjat you can afford
I've had my Coke version GMT for almost a year. ZERO problems. Top three favorite watches. I own Rolex and Omegas and this is the one I sleep with and swim with and I did remove the bracelet (the buckle had sharp edges) and I went for silicone red strap. ZERO PLAY with the bezel, perfect alignment on bezel and on cyclops, and NO noisy rotor. I got lucky I guess. I'm ordering your batman one because that comes with the ceramic bezel while the coke version is only in aluminium (where there is red, there is no ceramic).
Awesome to hear! One question: Is it possible to set the GMT hand independently from the hour hand? (Setting a reference timezone like on the original GMT II?)
@@nickhansbauer yes of course. one direction sets the date the other direction sets the GMT hand.
@@CarlosAguila Cool, thanks for the quick reply! Ordered mine and it came yesterday and I'm so in love with it, I feel like for my standards it's genuinely a nice watch!
@@nickhansbauer I own 50 watches and I didn't take my GMT coke off my wrist for 2 months last year. I did replace the strap for a Silicone one (Barton).
Very good quality. Just i dont like luminous is weak
This GMT with pearl caliber or non gmt with nh35?
I have the pepsi one and I'm impressed for the price.. So far so good it's keeping excellent time (although this one has the Seiko NH35A) looks great.. Bracelet wasn't bad either for the 5 minutes I had it on the watch.. Just not a fan of bracelets so it's sitting nicely on a nato just now... Either I got lucky (touch wood) or it's a good watch for the price.
I think they use a Seiko movement.
BTW what's the dimension of the watch?
I have no regrets on my Pagani GMT
I am using this watch from last 4 years without any problem it's really so good watch in budget price I bought it in 100 bucks
Hello,
I'm having an issue with my Pagani watch, and I hope someone can help me. When I set the date, for example, to Thursday the 14th, it never changes, even after midnight passes.
I initially thought it was a manufacturing problem, but I tried it on a second watch and the same thing happened... I must be doing something wrong, but I don't understand what.
Just to note, I do set the day and date when the time is set to 6:30 AM, as advised in some videos.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the issue? Thanks.
Jeez, with any less expensive GMT, one of the most important questions is the bezel, it bi-directional or did they just slap it on to a diver?
I had both the Parnis version and the pagani, the case and bezel were nicer on the parnis but the movement better on the Pagani. So i made a watch with the best of both, case and strap from parnis and movement from Pagani. Now heres the kicker, my watch runs after dialing it in on the timegrapher at 0 seconds a day dial up, its smooth as silk on wirist its losing 10 seconds a week, i have my poljot 3133 watches dialed in similar, and a couple of vintage seikos, but most other watches even swiss are way of the accuracy of my parnis/ Pagani watch.
what abtout GMT....does it work as a TRAVELLERS gmt?
I found a guy that can sell me a pagani gmt batman watch, the exact same as this one in the video, it's a bargain at 60 euros however nothings perfect... He told me it has a malfunctioning gmt hand but that doesn't affect the rest of the movement and hands, is it possible for the rest of the movement be ok? And should I buy it??
Thank you!
These are fine. I'm not a fan of them, but I did buy one Pagani because the AD didn't have the model I desperately wanted to try to see if I wanted to put my name on the wait list or not. I don't want to "get the call" on a watch I wasn't even sure of buying or not. I can just get some Paganis and get a feel for them, then put them in a charity bin when done.
how is the time keeping?
I have the original with the Pearl Automatic movement and I paid just around $80 for the one with the NH35. That one has a flaw on the bezel. I might just pop off the bezel on the NH35 watch and I’ll be good to go.
I have a Rolex Batman, & I brought a Pagani GMT Coke & for the money the watch is VERY, nice.
I keep coming back to gawk at the Pagani/Benyar GMTs on Amazon. I want the real thing, of course, but hey, that's beyond my reach. Very nice, informative vid. No Coke...Pepsi, haha.
Amazing watch, mine is working perfect ❤
Had one and really liked it, but it stopped working after wearing it about ten times. Hopefully others will have better luck.
Ive returned a few out of dozens on Ali ex,always been replaced.
I bought some Pagani homage watches mainly as conversation pieces. I will never pay for a real Submariner, Speedmaster or god forbid a Daytona. But I enjoy having these homages and will immediately tell anyone that asks that it is a Chinese homage watch and then start talking about the real thing often times educating a non-watch person about some of the more iconic watches and chronographs. I have them along with some other homages in a display case in my office which also spurs conversation. Maybe I will graduate to buying more expensive and more respected less copy-cat homages, but the irony is as much as I like learning about watches, I am not much of an everyday watch wearer.
Can anyone tell me what the fourth arrow is for?
Brands like Pagani and others make good stuff.I have a 114060 and it’s not remarkably different from my Phoibos “homage”.It probably costs Rolex 100.00 to make the Sub,it’s not like each watch is made by hand by some guy wearing a vest and glasses,shaping each gem.What they charge and how they control the flow of their watches is absurd.30-40k for a used Batman is ridiculous.A sax o mat is 1/2 that.A Bathyscaphe is 1/4.
Please suggest the legitimate website for buying Pagani Design watches in USA. Thanks
I have a blue dial PD watch and I like it
Can I switch the bracelet out for a nato strap?
This brand currently exceeds any expectation for the price one better should keep his mouth shut and not criticize.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Those manufactured a year ago are better than those of previous years
Love your reviews. A little bit of advice. Check you volume levels on your intro and outtro in comparison with the rest of the video. It can be really annoying. Other than that, excellent review.
Can you please review on new PD-1667 - orange with steel strap Pagani Design watch🤞
I have never been a big fan of homage watches I just think it’s lazy and unoriginal but I absolutely believe they are a great way to experience a watch you might not ever be able to otherwise I have also found they serve a purpose in taking a watch for a test run you might not be able to otherwise I have zero boutiques around to try on any watches I might be Interested but if they are JDM models that still would t help of I did so almost every watch in my collection when I unbox it like many it’s the first time I actually get to feel and see that watch so instead of diving right into a $4k purchase or more I will buy a homage of the same watch to get a feel for the size and how it looks on the wrist I’ve done this with San Martin who have excellent lume btw no other Chinese brand comes close so I bought the sla017 homage before buying the real deal and more recently I bought a GS SBGA homage before deciding to buy the real thing as well then just gave my homages to my little brother who’s also getting into watches. And My most recent interest is the new hi beat GS diver or spring drive in a similar case so I just bought a pagani 1680 for $120 and I have to say it’s absolutely impressive what they can do for less than the cost of a single link for my GS I’m sure they’ve got their own QC issues but I must have got a good one it’s unbelievable for what you get Screw links, a solid nicely finished tapering bracelet down to a fully milled sign clasp, a nice decorative case back, a signed screw down crown with pleasant action and threading, a solid 120 click bezel with a smooth light action and little back play and no lateral movement and a nicely etched ceramic insert with raised lume pip, and a bullet proof nh35 under a coated sapphire crystal it’s hard to believe they can make such a spec monsters for so little especially considering how much a brand like Seiko would charge to make a watch with the exact same specifications and materials before the recent “king” prospex models if you only wanted a sapphire crystal with ceramic and a signed crown those only come on watches north of $1k and I’ve even had bezel or chapter ring alignment issues with those watches. so any minor knit picks like lack of lume or maybe some coarse edges in my eyes are well negated by the price if they are bad enough you can always exchange them.
The latest version of the Pagani Design GMT Master comes with a better hazel. No back play or bounce. I'm afraid the lume is still rubbish though...
This one comes with NH34 gmt movement as well for few more bucks. I think thats a better value. There is an NH35 movement at the same price though...
Does Pagani Design have anything to do with Pagani the hypercar manufacturer? Similar to how Porsche has Porsche Design? or completely unrelated?
I’ve got a vintage omega and seikos and the panini Daytona I got this year is what people notice, and looks amazing. Hasn’t missed a beat and I’m really happy with it. Got it off eBay for £42! What is there to moan about?
Have the non-GMT type "Smurf" and it has a Seiko NH35A movement and blue ceramic bezel... much better mechanically.
I will be honest at first I was also tranced by the rolex effect and thinking its the only best watch brand there is, which is really stupid and people who got no idea and money say this. My brother was quite wealthy and he never was interested in buying a rolex, he only got one as a gift from his wife. Even my brother the man himself who could afford it didnt want to spend that money and that stuck to my head. Since then I have decided to purchase the Davosa gmt sprite, the quality and the craftmanship of the Davosa Watch really got me thinking if a 16k Euro watch is worth it and it made me realize I was a fan because of the design and not the Brand so wear whatever you like just be authentic and dont start pretending you got it when it reality you dont. So in my opinion your purchase is justified dont let any else talk you down about saying it aint a rolex or etc when they dont even have money to get one.
I'll be getting 1662, root beer version. Been wanting for years. Its so beautiful. I'll be selling my rc excavator for it. That thing is broken anyway
You talk about the bracelet should scratch up. Rolex bracelets are 906 softer steel which will mark up faster.
Watches like this are a real god send imo, because sometimes you can't wear the "real deal" out in my area what with the rising crime rates and all :(
Yeh in London can’t wear my Rolex will straight up get stolen
The name sounds ok just don't know whether to buy
I prefer the omega seamaster hommage. Also if we talk about expensive brands i would always prefer an omega before a rolex. Watches are not better if they are more expensive.
I'm a lume fanatic so this Pagani not having quality lume kills it for me! Pagani does have a newer model Sub homage that has fantastic superluminova on the bezel but only put C3 standard lume on the dial.
On the brand, it does share a name with a £5M HyperCar manufacturer, I mean there is a fashion brand that shares a name with a car manufacturer whose most prolific model is derived from a Volkswagen Beetle
Some much condensation the date could not be seen. My pot luck ran out on my white Pagani Explorer.
DG is I believe the Brand. I think Pearl is the Model?? Anyone know for Sure???
I love pagani watches
