    Well, it may have been the 40mm Pagani many people were waiting for, but it is still not quite what I expected! The specs are typically outrageous, as always with Pagani, but there are a few areas where you can tell the money has been spread rather thinly. So I suggest checking the clasps, and replacing all springbars with better quality items. They are plentiful on eBay, and it is generally good policy with budget watches. Cheers, Jody

    I’ve had my Pagani diver for about a year and a half. I purchased it on your recommendation and…i hafta say…i love it. I have owned two Explorer II and a GMT Master II and I love them and their profound level of craftsmanship. For $99-$139 to even remotely come close is a feat by itself. The weight, the feel, the look, and - most important for me - the durability of this watch has been both immensely impressive and immensely satisfying.
    Thank you for your research and recommendations!!

      I just checked the site and even though it says 100m on the face, beside the watch in the listing it says raining or washing hands as far as water resistance. Kind of misleading as far as I'm concerned.

    Just received one for which I paid $78.00- I ordered it through one of AliExpress’ website companies and was able to track it using AliExpress standard tracking program. Total delivery time was about 2 month and I was alerted as to the delivery date through a number of emails.
    I own a number of high end watches plus a couple of Invictas so I was willing to take a chance on the Pagani. It’s advertised with a Seiko self-winding movement (like the Invictas) but it hard to tell through the display case back. Overall I’m quite satisfied with the Pagani. The watch looks great with a solid link oyster-like bracelet which uses micro screws for adjustment. I had to remove 4 links till I got the fit right. Like current Rolex oyster bracelets, it uses a similar latch design with a micro adjustable link. As one would expect it doesn’t work quite as smoothly as the Rolex. The crown is a screw down design with a O-ring seal which also isn’t as smooth as the Rolex design. So far it appears to keep decent time and only time will tell.

    Bliger. 40mm otherwise exact same specs including screw links and "Oysterglide" extension on the clasp. NH35A automatic movement. £64 including import fees to the UK. Pleasantly surprised by this one which I bought to practice my watchmaking skills on, it's much better than I expected, I suspect that it would suit most people for a beater or work watch. I think it's only got 30m water resistance tho' so landlubbers only (they do ones with higher rating but they're more expensive) Great video thanks. (The Bliger clasp is better. The adjustment extension is smoother in operation but not loose and has 5 positions providing a useful amount of fine tuning)

    I was all excited for the 1651, then I saw the 1661 and though the traditional bezel might be nicer. These are the exact same watches, correct? One video said the cyclops on the 1661 was sapphire but not on the 1651. What are your thoughts?

    I bought one after watching your review Jody, but I'm confused about what you have against the clasp; my Phoibos has a stamped clasp which is nice enough but this seems easily a step better and works faultlessly. The bezel action is a bit meh though but the ceramic makes up for it. I quite like the violet lume which kinda suits the stealth look of the watch head. Super pleased with mine and it has crept to the top of my favourite watch list. Thanks for enjoyable and informative reviews Jody, keep it up!

    If I’m not mistaken there is the PD 1661 that I own. It is 40mm , has the same design, and it cost about the same.

      I have two. They are a bit finicky. HAve spare spring bars and be SUPER careful with the bracelet screws. They like to work themselves loose. Same for the Daytona buttons.
      Love, love, LOVE the value. If I'd buy a Rolex on discount, it would be as an investment.

    I just got the 1639 based on your review and i love it!!! You really cant do better especially for the money. My only complaint is the bracelet. I have a 4.25" wrist and I wish it had more mircro adjustments. I think im going to get an aftermarket "glide lock" style clasp..the ez link is just too hard to undo and redo on the wrist... but add glide lock clasp and I think it will be PERFECT.

    I had bought 3 of the 43mm Paganis just before Christmas and wound up selling them all. It was a lesson to me that while a watch can have great specs for the money and work just fine overall, it's the little things like the weird tinny sound of the bezel when rotated and the unexciting copycat aesthetic. I thought the great deal for the specs would be enough to get past this, but it wasn't. The watch was "good enough" but it was also obviously an inexpensive knockoff of an existing better watch with almost no design flavor of it's own other than being a "deal". It wasn't poorly made, but all the little shortcuts "spread too thin" across the the bracelet, bezel and weak lume made it feel well ... just cheap. The watch was... fine.... but it didn't make you want to pick it up and wear it like my other watches do. I am not beating on the value it's an amazing deal for the money, but as a package the watch was more of an industrial manufacturing curiosity of how much you can get for the dollar vs being an interesting timepiece.

    I bought one of these after watching this review. After a good long COVID-19 inspired shipping delay it finally arrived. I am quite happy with it with one big exception. After setting the time, upon depressing the crown to restart the seconds hand and screw down the crown - about 3 out of 4 times the seconds hand does not start running again. It takes several tries and a little luck to get the crown to engage and start the seconds hand running again. This kind of defeats the advantage of having a hacking movement as it is very difficult to get it to start at a precise moment. But, it's an $80 watch and it keeps great time other than that, so....

  • @SOCerberus94

  • @luvit7567
    @luvit7567 4 года назад +1

    I bought this from Ali Express with the SS strap, i also found a black rubber Rolex (polished SS clasp) on their website, both 20mm fittings, this strap (to me) looks much nicer than the black strap that it comes with (optional)
    I have the Pagani Black Sub and have quite thick wrists, so the size has never been an issue. For the price you just can't go wrong. I've had more comments about these watched (I have the blue, gold/blue & green ones) than any of my Real, Omaga or Tudor watches. How they make this quality of watch for these prices I just don't know.
    I'm hoping they bring this watch out in gold, as you can get the black rubber (polished gold clasp) strap too. This would be one nice watch. You can get a different make in the gold (Caseno 42mm) but haven't seen any reviews on them. Saying that for £55 I'll probably get one

  • @alexsdg3441
    @alexsdg3441 4 года назад

    Hi Jody, thanks for the review. I bought the exact watch over two month ago. Also exactly as you have reviewed, I had the same problems with bezel (too much back play) and with the adjustment of the clasp (I could not even take the spring bar out and adjust...). Spec wise, as you said, it is an awesome watch, but me being bit of OCD, I just could not keep it, so after a week later, I sold it off via eBay.
    After that, I bought San Martin Rolex Homage watch at double the price, $190. I truly believe that the San Martin Rolex homage is the best spec, valued and fit & finish Rolex Homage under $500. They even regulated NH35 withinplus 2 to 3 seconds per day.
    Extremely well made, you should check that out if you have time, Jody. (the screw links on the bracelet is so well done that it is almost equivalent to the watches over $1000.00. Amazing...)
    again, keep it coming. Staying home like everyone else, so looking forward the double the vids from you, ha ha.
    thanks and stay safe.

  • @kirkthebeerslinger
    @kirkthebeerslinger 4 года назад +1

    Personally I am not a fan of the Mercedes hands/Rolex case look-but these watches truly are great value and highlight just how little incremental value an extra $10k gets you in a real Sub. The Seiko movement makes it a buy rating in my book if you only have $100 and you like the style!
