It's really unbelievable Pagani Desingn offers a bracelet made of so many seperate links. The first bracelet links are a huge upgrade over the previous one. The wave pattern on the dial of this one is succeeded. What I like on this particular watch is the fact that they offer it without the ugly He-valve. Also the hands are am massive improvement. Great review mate!
Wow the changes for the better are definitely noticeable and appreciated you just might have convinced me into buying a pagani design watch that watch looked great on wrist really appreciate your honest opinion Thanks 👍
14 seconds in "speedmaster homage".....man I can't tell you how many times I had to edit myself when doing my Seamaster homage reviews :) glad to see I'm not the only one making little mistakes. Great review as always man.
Past few weeks on You Tube, I keep seeing how someone is reporting watch-related videos to the powers-that-be that neglect/forget to mention "Homage" every time they review a watch that's a Seamaster-Homage, Turtle-Homage etc., resulting in the videos or even the entire channel getting removed. What is going on???
@@larrycookson4681 someone is out for heads....it's pretty clean we aren't promoting replicas if RUclips would take 2 seconds to review a complaint like this. Not sure if it's a bot, not sure if it's just someone out to cause frustration. I'm sure I'll get hit eventually because I forget to mention"homage" at times...but man. I really hope RUclips looks at each case, if they did, they would see we aren't pushing/reviewing reps.
@@EscapeWheel True that. Other crazy thing I heard dealt with videos where counterfeit watches were discussed. Not for purchase of course but to educate the consumer about what to look for. No matter to You Tube, they took it as endorsements of counterfeits. Keep up the good work James, thanks again.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Absolutely, and I have to say; Often you YT guys mentions that this or that wasn't perfect (and we agree), and then quicker than I would've imagined, many of these AE brands have improved on that stuff. And all of a sudden it's a new upgraded model. I have to give some respect to that (even though they've seem less reluctuant to manifacture smaller case sizes on some models which I would've seen).
The PG hands are chromed/shiny hands which make them hard to see even when looking at the watch straight on, whereas the orginal Omega's skeletonized hands are black, therefore much easier to see any angle you look the watch. Pagani should use black skeletonized hands on the white dial version of this watch.
Lindo relógio. Excelente opção para quem não pode o comprar o Omega Seamaster, fiquei impressionado pela beleza e o acabamento a Pagani Design está de parabéns. O seu vídeo ficou excelente.
Nice review mate! You got confused with Speedmaster/Seamaster but that happens to the best 👍. I'm really glad that Pagani do listen to feedback and are attentive to their customers. This seems to be a much improved version.
Yeah someone else pointed that out too. So annoying. Can't believe I missed it 🤦♂️ It is good that Pagani Design are improving stuff though. I'll have to try and do the same now though... No more mistakes 😆
The hands are silver and the dial is also silver... I own this watch and it is VERY hard to read the time at a glance due to the hands blending in with the dial.
I bought a Tokyo 2020 style PD1685 recently (Blue Bezel, White Face, Blue Hands & Indices). Pagani Design have made some further upgrades since your review. 120 click Bezel with zero side-to-side or back play (at least on mine...). Bezel has Blue Lume with Green Pip. Hands and indices are Green. Still fairly poor lume performance after a short time but I wasn't expecting much (and didn't get it..). Slightly bigger hands would have allowed the pointers to hold more lume and be more easily identified in the dark. I had a strap sizing issue with mine too. Despite having the correct tools, I couldn't get one of the removable pins on the 6 O'clock side to budge. I ended up having to leave an extra link in place and thus my clasp also sits a bit 'off centre'. Bit of a shame but no real biggie. Overall, I love the watch. No other QC issues. The shade of Blue on the Bezel isn't quite correct compared to a genuine Tokyo 2020. The NH35 is well regulated at +2 seconds per day and the watch is super comfortable to wear. Another YT reviewer commented on how thick the bracelet links are but I think this all adds to solidity on wrist and really suits the watch. Well worth the £55 GBP I paid (incl. shipping and UK Taxes).
This watch turned my wrist black. I have photos. I returned the watch plus the moonwatch that I bought at the same time and still no refund from trendy watch store after months. Now waiting for my credit card company to step up. I advise caution.
odly i just got mine and the bezel has 0 play at all its perfect but the crown screw ginds and the date function does not set you have to use the hand movement to set date :/ sending it back ill try one more time to get a good one if not ill send back again and get an Orient instead or try to find something else similar with a sapphire crystal
Is this white/black Pagani (PD1685) really an updated version of the red/blue/white Pagani (PD1667)? I am asking because retailers are positioning these as two different (yet both recent) 2021 models.
They've overdone the link thickness it seems. The Phylida homage has better 300m Diver style bracelet imo. Although the PD clasp looks better. The best one is the ratchet style one that Omega do, but you can buy on ali express aftermarket similar ones...
The white dial with back bezel is a definite upgrade....very nice with the date at 6 and the much better bracelet. Tempted. Did you order a Dailos Waveform in the end on Kickstarter last year? Mine has arrived....great watch...but the bezel is truly awful! Anyway...i digress...great review of this pagani!.
Cadisen - aliexpress - also has a nice Seamaster copy with sapphire and ceramic bezel. What do you think about that one ? 2/3rds of the PD price . PD as far as I know doesn't have good lume .
It's not really about the specific number, it's more about how much it moves up really. So starting from 1 going up into the orange indicates that it's sapphire crystal. If it only goes up by 1 or 2 at the most, then it's going to be mineral crystal. Here's the torch I use to charge up the lume. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DddTNyb
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR 36 or 38mm would be nice. Similar to what Omega released back then with the midsize Seamaster300 I really enjoy your channel. Keept it up 👍
No I didn't. I don't really worth AliExpress watches, as the prices can change quite a lot. Especially with the sale coming up on the 21st. So it's always best to check the link to see the current price. Like I say in the video, make sure you follow the store too, to get the 'exclusive' prices.
Did this version ever exist??? I bought mine directly from Pagani in 2023 and it had a light-beige dial, not white like this one. It also had 2 color lume, not one color lume like this one. Could it be that Pagani sent you a one-off, to generate sales??? Kinda like when you go to McDonald's/Burger King, their burgers never look as juicy as it did in TV ads
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR *YES* the watch IS still available (I told you I just bought mine couple months ago). BUT, it no longer has one-color lume, and the dial is no longer snow white, but light beige. When I expressed my discontent with Pagani, they said *"All old verion has been discontinued and already clear out all the old version stock."* I'm still trying to return the watch
Latest model has Blue lume on teh Bezel and Green Lume pip. Hands and indices are green. Pity they didn't mimic the Omega style with Minute Hand and Lume Pip being one colour and the rest another
People don't care about anything in the box, only the watch, so spend little time on the papers and cloth please. Good review, but if you showed a little more enthusiasm, it would keep people's attention better. Much success to you.
The text under the G Logo is such small print that it makes absolutely no difference on wrist. Macro shots in reviews always make molehills look like mountains...
This is not an homage, this is a rippoff. There is a big difference. I know Pegani Design is out paying RUclipsrs mad money for these videos but this is pure trash imo.
Disagree. A rip-off would be getting something other than was advertised or paying far more than it was actually worth. I bought my PD1685 for £55 GBP (incl. shipping and Taxes). That's an absolute bargain in my book. It also saved me spending the thick end of £6K on a very similar looking watch. Definitely not feeling ripped off...

It's definitely a good upgrade. They are improving things which is good.
I got one today and don't care for the hands, they need lume on the skeletonised parts, other than that it's fantastic 😀
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR how does it stack up to the planet ocean homage?
@@BJJandBS I'd say that this one probably edges slightly.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR good to know

Like others has mentioned: Two great upgrades with that bracelet and clasp, and also the date at six. Great review as usual.
It's good to see that they are listening and improving isn't it?

Talk about timing, was just checking to see if anyone had a review with the steel bracelet 👍
I know 😉 Seriously though, I hope you find this useful then.
11:39 at certain angles you can't see the time or the waves on the dial, and that's in perfect light
The PG hands are chromed/shiny hands which make them hard to see even when looking at the watch straight on, whereas the orginal Omega's skeletonized hands are black, therefore much easier to see any angle you look the watch.
Pagani should use black skeletonized hands on the white dial version of this watch.
@@MrMnmn911 Truth is I bought the all black version of this watch and sent it back for a refund because the hands were so illegible
Lindo relógio. Excelente opção para quem não pode o comprar o Omega Seamaster, fiquei impressionado pela beleza e o acabamento a Pagani Design está de parabéns. O seu vídeo ficou excelente.
A nice looker, agree with the nice wavy dial and date wheel symmetry. Lumed bezel insert is a nice treat 👌
love this updated version, stunning ! (but wish it was BGW9 lume, and lots of it) thanks for another excellent review, have a great weekend !!
Nice upgrades and thanks for sharing all the small issues you found, makes your reviews really useful
I think they are too. That's what I aim to do with the channel. "Keep it 100% honest, no matter what".
The date at 6 is badass
It just makes more sense doesn't it?
Dude! I was just looking at this one and the PD-1679 trying to determine which one I want to purchase. 😂 Another great review. 👍👏
When you close the clasp, push the buttons in as you close it and it will not be under strain.
That bracelet is a definite improvement on the watch. Like the date change also, always looks cleaner at 6.
Nice review mate! You got confused with Speedmaster/Seamaster but that happens to the best 👍.
I'm really glad that Pagani do listen to feedback and are attentive to their customers. This seems to be a much improved version.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR don't worry, all of us make mistakes, especially me (on my latest Hamilton review 😔).
Nice way to scratch the Seamster 300m without spending five grand. I have the black dial version. Good review.
Yeah definitely. You can spend the difference on a nice holiday too.
The hands are silver and the dial is also silver... I own this watch and it is VERY hard to read the time at a glance due to the hands blending in with the dial.
With the summer sale coming i might have to get one
Very good! i was waiting for a review that included this bracelet. Is kinda nice for the price, isn't it?
Thanks for the in depth review.
That was looking good until you mentioned the 49mm lug to lug, couple of mm shorter and I'd be very tempted

No such issues with mine. Maybe you have very acidic sweat?... 🤔
Maybe, but I've had even the cheapest timex with no issues. They're using super low-grade steel.

I'm not really 100% sure. But they are homaging the same watch.
Does this watch come with a push pin tool for adjusting the bracelet? Thanks!
How do you find this version. I only see the 100M versions online. Thanks for another great review.
The link is in the video description to where I got it from.
They've overdone the link thickness it seems. The Phylida homage has better 300m Diver style bracelet imo. Although the PD clasp looks better. The best one is the ratchet style one that Omega do, but you can buy on ali express aftermarket similar ones...
Do you have link to those clasps?
Good review, many thanks, Cheers mate
Thanks for watching.
Good review 👍 . Looks a big improvement over the old model! Still a homage though.
Now they just need to fix the hour and minute hands so they have full lume like the Phylida has. It's impossible to see what time it is in the dark.
Yeah Pagani Design definitely need to up their lume game.
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻 that is a really nice lookin watch indeed
Thank you 👍 I do like this one.
Hi can anyone help? Anyone else had problems with the bracelet fitting? I’ve removed all the end links
I can but it’s still quite loose
The white dial with back bezel is a definite upgrade....very nice with the date at 6 and the much better bracelet. Tempted.
Did you order a Dailos Waveform in the end on Kickstarter last year? Mine has arrived....great watch...but the bezel is truly awful! Anyway...i digress...great review of this pagani!.
Very good review.
You should do a comparison vid between this and the Matic mate
Yeah I could do that.
Cadisen - aliexpress - also has a nice Seamaster copy with sapphire and ceramic bezel. What do you think about that one ? 2/3rds of the PD price . PD as far as I know doesn't have good lume .
I've not tried that one out, so I can't really comment on it, sorry.
what number on the diamond tester lets you know is crystal or sapphire?
also what are you using to charge the lume?
im brand new to watches
thank you!
It's not really about the specific number, it's more about how much it moves up really. So starting from 1 going up into the orange indicates that it's sapphire crystal. If it only goes up by 1 or 2 at the most, then it's going to be mineral crystal.
Here's the torch I use to charge up the lume.

I think they are heading in the right direction with the improvement they are making. But I agree, they do still need to improve a few things.
I wish PaganiDesign made a mid size version.
What size would you like it to be?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR 36 or 38mm would be nice. Similar to what Omega released back then with the midsize Seamaster300
I really enjoy your channel. Keept it up 👍
@@021mr5 That would be good.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel.
The main problem of this watch is the silver finish of its hands which make the hour difficult to read... ...
Yeah it's not the most legible.
One reason to get the Blue Bezel variant - as it has Blue Hands and Indices and is far more legible
I don't think you mentioned the price?
No I didn't. I don't really worth AliExpress watches, as the prices can change quite a lot. Especially with the sale coming up on the 21st.

For just over a hundred pounds it's a beater watch,you won't cry your eyes out if you damage it in anyway
That would depend entirely on the person though. For some people that might be a lot of money, and this could be their only watch.
