Excellent in-depth review sir. Had my eye on this watch, PD can be hit or miss, the price has now dropped to around £65, I may well take a punt on it. All the best
I paid just over £100 for my orange dial version. The clasp on mine is very secure and overall it's one of the best bracelets I've seen on a budget watch. I agree about the bezel, too much lateral play but at least it lines up correctly. Dial is well done and I'm glad they did away with the Pagani Design name. The domed crystal is also very nice for a watch at this price level. Lume is weak but it's still readable at night. Overall I'm quite pleased with it for a cheap watch. It's comfortable to wear and looks good on wrist.
I have a couple of the recent Pagani's and I'm largely satisfied, especially given the pricing. Overall decent value indeed. From a personal point of view, I'm moving away from the brand now, I just feel that having made a leap forward a couple of months ago, the brand is churning out some substandard pieces, this one included.
Pagani Design is just all over the board when it comes to quality, it's either a home run or a strike out. And to add insult to injury, their home runs are generally their lower price point watches! They need someone like you to lead their QC from the design phase through production... they are capable of producing excellent quality watches, it just seems that they don't really understand (or care?). So much for my rants. Great review video. Keep up the excellent work WR4K!
Nice vid, as always, thanks for that! I like your rewies ; such a depth and missing no details! Because of the bezel and the (again) failure of the bracelet I don´t see this watch at a price of 163 Euros. For me wiht my 8,5 inch wrist it´s again a risk to order the watch. Does anyone know if they sell additional limks?
Thank you for watching Holger. Glad you enjoyed it. They don't sell additional links. 8.5" is the maximum wrist size the bracelet will fit. Regards, #WR4K
I'm starting to think most Ali brands buy these clasps from the same cheapest factory and sometimes only stamp their logo. I have the same problem with too loose small latch on Paganis, Steeldives, even better ones like Proxima and San Martin. So far only Heimdallrs were tight and consistent.
Completely agree with your review ! Again the QC Pagani is not good enought. My orange dial version came with lot of little scratches on the back and on the bezel + misaligned bezel. All in one !
If there's one thing I hope yours and other channel's achieve its getting Pagani to take a bit more care aligning their bezel inserts. I've got three and all have the same issue. It would cost nothing and make their watches near perfect for the money
Great review, but a bit too flawed. V2 would probably be better if they take on board what you have said. Sadly, for me it’s the hands that make it a non started. It might be just me but the hands look like a part of a man’s anatomy!
Great review. Have you considered looking at Rmalti watches? It looks like they have been doing marinemaster and white birch cases with interesting textured dials. I'd be very interested to see you review them
I got a feeling, you could buy this and get a totally different experience. I’m sure not all clasp are faulty or all bezels loose. But yeah, that speaks more to Paganis QC than anything… My hopes were high not gonna lie, looks are great, nice blue dial and the shield emblem in silver looks great. And in contrast to the other 300t from Seestern etc, even tho I think this Pagani is closer to the 300, it has a "normal" bezel. I couldn’t agree more with the use of their clasp, at the very least a longer, bigger clasp would benefit the piece, especially for balance on wrist. Thanks for the review! Another day where you learn that Pagani still have a way to go….
Hmm I got the same exact clasp on my Tactical Frog V2 and it is good, albeit slightly loose but it clicks solidly. Geez I wonder how they get the extra 100m of water resistance over my frog..,
As you can see Pagani design watch is closer to a 100 usd watch than what they want at x $. Instead of what you want at x dollars. Sell 20 year old lume. No thank you. You eat
@@lestoquesdutictac no I mean they sell poor lume. Which makes me wonder about quality of parts used. C3 is not acceptable. They can switch to superior quality c3 superluminova or bgw9. I will pay extra for gladly. How come no more they don't sign behind the lugs anymore 🤔

As an owner of 1719, I comlpetely agree to this review.

Excellent review. There’s a fair bit wrong with it isn’t there. I think I’d go for the Seastern for now.

I still can't complain in view of the price. Their QC issues are no worse than some Seikos at more than twice the price.

I’ve had three Paganis, and all their bezels aligned.
Great review, well done!
Shame because it’s a nice looking watch
If I open a new dive watch to clear dust inside the glass, when I screw the case back, should I screw to the maximum or will it damage the gasket?
Thank you for watching. Yes fully tighten the case back. No, it won't damage the rubber O-ring. Regards, #WR4K
@@watchreviews4k thanks!

Hey WR4K have seen the FORTELLER dive watch?
Thank you for watching Faiz. No, I will check it out. Regards, #WR4K

Another day where you learn that Pagani still have a way to go….
Does anyone know what is the luminous paint used by PD ? On few of my PD it turns from white to yellow ochre. Radium, tritium bad luminous paint ?
Pagani Design use luminova. Regards, #WR4K
@@watchreviews4k Thanks for the answer, it must be an old luminova stock...They must update to super luminova, it will be better !
Nice looking watch.
Thank you for watching Kantivut. Glad you enjoyed it. Regards, #WR4K

I somehow doubt it's 300m but don't think anyone will be testing it anytime soon.
Pagani Design test their watches to the stated pressures John. Regards, #WR4K
i hope steeldive will build doxa homemage to. because Steeldive more better than Pagani 😅
Steeldive 1967
PD always puts out crappy watches. Lume is crappy,QC is non existent and PD knows it...they just hope you won't return it.

Sell 20 year old lume.
