      Is this the Official Store of Pagani Design ? There appears to be multiple stores. However, since the warranty card isn't filled , it makes me skeptical.

      @@theindianreviewer1258 Thank you for watching. Pagani Design do not retail watches directly. They are a watch manufacturer that wholesales watches to many AliExpress resellers. Although you will see stores such as "Pagani Design Official Store" etc, this isn't the factory selling the watches. None of the resellers fill in the warranty cards. The reality is warranty claims are made via the AliExpress dispute system, rather than the reseller returning the watch to the factory for warranty repair. Regards, #WR4K

    Just purchased the white dial version with black bezel & st/st bracelet. Lovely watch, but noticing that skeletonised hands don't show up against the white dial in certain lights. Omega hands are black rather than chromed as on the Pagani - apparently with good reason.

    Excellent review John,
    I'm glad that Pagani Design left the Wart off the Seamaster Case.
    I also like that they have used a Seiko NH35 movement.
    The dial looks very appealing as well.
    Overall - a solid watch for an excellent price.

    Steven

    It's a very good looking watch, but for that price you should expect anti reflective coating and a better rotating bezel and lume. Pagani Design watches were great value for money when they charged 50 to 80 pounds for their models but now I am not so sure. If you're willing to pay up to 150/200 pounds for a homage watch you should go for a San Martin, Cronos, Heimdallr or even Steeldive.

      Thank you for watching Jimmy. Agreed, with the price increases there should also be improvements to specifications, and Quality Control. The PD-1661, and PD-1664 are still excellent quality/value at their respective prices which haven't increased. However the other models have increased in price without increasing in quality.

    I have this watch with the bracelet and the bezel is as good as any of my better watches...no back play...precise...easy to turn but not too easy...clear détentes...Either they have improved the bezel or you just got a bad one. These watches punch WAY above their price range.

    I wish you got this on the bracelet I really do! You can now buy a full Seamaster 300m homage bracelet with very similar thick links and the amazing ratcheting clasp for about 85GBP off ali express or ebay. The standard homage bracelet from pagani does not have the on-the-ffly clasp that I really think this model needs. Neither does the Phylida one that I reviewed recently, but Pagani make better branding and watches than Phylida imho. If the better bracelet fits this model (and I think they do) it will be a big winner. I cant wait to pick it up. Personally panda is not for me though, I just prefer other colours. Interesting how the domed crystal extends so much from the bezel! that will account for over 0.5mm of thickness it seems! Also, all AR coating has a life span and I can truly see why Rolex and others do NOT as standard apply it to watches, even under side will eventually come off. The PD1667 has a bulky bracelet, but they are now doing the Omega 300m style bracelet which is far far comfier and actually feels like a rolex jubilee, so I think you should pick it up and try it! Good review.

      My Oyster Perpetual 41 has AR coating on the underside of the sapphire crystal.
      From the Rolex website:
      "The anti-reflective coating applied to the back of the sapphire crystal on the new generation Submariner and Submariner Date ensures optimal legibility of the dial."

    • @ATIWatchReviews
      @ATIWatchReviews 3 года назад +2

      ​@@watchreviews4k yes but the bracelet on the 1667 is the big bulky linked one, and is not the Seamaster 300m homage bracelet that you can also get on the 1685 watch you reviewed (www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0916XND7X/ref=twister_B09152V8F9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). That bracelet is far far superior to that one you reviewed. Also, I should have said Rolex have traditionally not applied AR to watches, AFAIK Rolex have not typically applied AR coating on the subs, maybe that changed in 2020, but I can see why they didnt if it has a moderately short lifespan...

    Ive got the Octopus Kraken Seamaster homage which appears to be superior to this and even the newer updated version of this.
    Except for Paganis omission of the helium escape valve, that gives the piece a cleaner look and no one would use the valve anyway.
    Given the Octopus Kraken homage is more expensive.
    Even tho your earlier and shorter videos are nice, I prefer your newer videos which pay more attention to detail or to put it better, shows us more details.
    Thanks for your reviews!

    This watch is beautiful, but I don’t get the much higher price. Why it isn’t priced comparatively to the Pd 1661, is odd to me. Maybe if the cost comes down to under $100, I’ll consider purchasing it, but until then, nope!....it needs more improvements to make that $150 price acceptable. Good looking watch though and as always, a great review! Pagani Design have just priced this one way too high....
