Hey guys, well we have another Pagani today and as you can see by the title we do have some issues with it. Surprise surprise. Hope you enjoy, have a good one.
For anyone who prefers the vintage look, this looks like a solid offering with very good specs and a decent price tag ... as long as they receive a decent example. Thanks for an honest and fair review mate 👍
Just a tip, get a proper springbar removal tool, bergeon for example, and get the smallest one. I had huge issues adjusting pagani bracelets, then I got the bergeon and it is so much easier😊
I echo that. The bergeon tools are great. I've got them in all sort of sizes. The spring bar removal tweezers is best to remove and reattach the bracelet imo.
Just got one , very happy except for the micro adjust , as a previous comment suggests a proper tool is necessary to adjust it . I simply couldn’t release the spring bar ( dodgy eyesight might have been a hinderance ) . I the end I prised the clasp apart to move the bar then carefully squeezed back together . No damage done but took about and hour of struggle before the nuclear option . Definitely a big minus especially for the less mechanically inclined or less determined souls . Simple holes in the clasp would make life a lot easier.
I bought a blue Seiko Speedtimer reissue and the chrono hand was misaligned. This really bothered me, and googled it. I was so relieved that it could be manually adjusted. Thanks for a look at this PD. 😃 ⌚
@LOSMIBGD82 true, saying that I did have one that refused and that was my Yema, no matter how many attempts it would not realign. Had to send back and get it repaired.
I have the Daytona Panda and have been super impressed with better than expected accuracy. The Paul Newman hasn’t really gripped me to be fair, so not one I will get. Great honest review
I dont know if you were unlucky, or I was lucky (maybe both) - but mine lines up perfectly. I didnt even try the bracelet on (its still wrapped) but wear it on a red/brown leather that ties in with the maroon minuite track perfectly. Maybe I won the Pagani lottery!
Thanks for the review, Wes. This is a watch I've been considering because it's such a looker, but I think your review just settles me a little. I don't want to pay for a duffer and I'm just not at all confident in Pagani Design's QC, so I think it's best to avoid them entirely.
Yeah that's an understandable call, they're really too hit and miss in the qc department and don't seem to be in a rush to sort this out. Thanks for watching
Great job on the review, this is a good looking watch. Are you familiar with the Sugess Gustav Becker SU1780? It caught my eye in the Sugess Official Store in Aliexpress, but I can't find many reviews online. If you are accepting suggestions, I would be interested in seeing a review of it.
They seem to have got the look of it pretty close to the original. Pretty standard Pagani QC. I wonder how it it would stack up against an Alpha PN daytona? With that awesome ST19 in it 😊 hmmmm there's a head to head vid right there I thought that tan leather you put it on was a great choice
Not worth 75 bucks wtf? If you buy a cheap quartz chronograph at a store in europe for like a 100 bucks you get a no sweeping trash movement and an alloy polished case a watch probably worth like 10 bucks in real value. This watch is a bargain even with small issuesa and a price of a 100 bucks.
Great review! Personally, I think their PD-1644 model looks better than this. Had that for a while but flipped it because I rarely used the chronograph function.
Nice watch, excellent video. I was absolutely confused by the number of different chronographs on AE , found it easier to buy divers, like my Heimdallr and Steeldive. I almost went for a Cadisen today but then found a gorgeous Orient panda dial chronograph locally on special offer for only £100 equivalent. I was chuffed! However, I'm thinking of getting another one, the new Pagani with blue subdials is very nice, next time I have the budget!
Kinda feel like this is a watch tailored for the really rich. It not my style but I can see that their is a market for such a piece! Thanks for sharing man!
Oh yeah, if you had the money for the real deal you'd be multi-millionaire or billionaire but that's why homages like this exist. But I agree it does have a bit of look to it. Thanks
Not fully thought out this watch, probably released prematurely. To my eye the Chrono hand looked aligned with the index, just the applied bezel looked a little off to the right.
Can’t deny these are good watches, this particular model by PD, but this particular version just doesn’t do it for me to be honest, can’t explain why, the outer chapter ring is part of the problem for me, just doesn’t seem to go well with the rest of the watch imo…..not sure, this one doesn’t scream at me. I have two Daytonas that I really love though. Really nice macro shots Wes!! I also don’t like the subdials. Boy not a fan of this one, but as always great review!!
I've had the same issue before with pagani bracelets not having enough removable links to fit my wrist. I would advise that the "permanent" links actually can be removed. I've done it by grabbing either side of the links with pliers and then twisting them in opposite directions. Just twist them back and forth and pretty quickly you'll see the link starting to come free. Either the link will slide free or the pin holding them will snap, which will again, free the link. Voila, you just resized the bracelet. Just be aware that this obviously pretty much destroys those links, but I'd argue that's a small price to have the bracelet be usable.
Hi, have you seen that Pagani has just released an hommage to the AP Code 11.59 chrono (pagani code YS008). It’s the most beautiful pagani offering IMHO but nobody has reviewed it yet and it’s been out for almost one month.
Never had issues with my pagani watches including the one your reviewiing sure try putting a nice leather rally strap or black lizzard like I have a champagne watch for lemonade money £52 I played so scour around for a decent strap the one you had on there looked awful all the best.
Quality of bracelets seems very different between watches... For this watch it goes from almost perfect to loose and badly finished... Btw brushed/polished/beushed doesn't dit the Vintage look of the watch.. Full brushed would be better (indeed i bought a 35$ brushed on eBay...)
If you buy from the official store they've always been pretty good at handling qc problems and have even sent out spare parts, provided partial refunds or even full refunds on returns.
Yeah I echo that, I need glasses too and find some bits a touch tricky. As for a video its hard to do as every chronograph movement is done differently.
@@WesWatchRoom agreed but there are a lot of watches based on this mechanism. I still think that a video would be useful, and with the right keywords would be an earner in the long run.
I know they were going for a vintage feel on this but the printing on the sub dials and the massive pagani on the dial is just terrible. They seriously went with the cheapest hand possible on this one. I will say the strap looks nice on it though
@@WesWatchRoom that's happen when you are too low on budget and have option to go for one of two... bazel design is what attract me most other wise they both dont have much diff..
I quite like it, just a shame about the QC issues. Pagani seem to be a bit hit and miss in that department. Oh, and their Lume is usually awful. But I suppose they're not bad for the money !!
I had the same problem with a Pagani screw down crown bought direct from them, crown wouldn’t close properly they weren’t interested extremely poor customer service. Eventually contacted PayPal they found in my favour full refund from PayPal.
Mr Budget Watch. Your channel name seems odd, since you add no inherent value for Homage Watches. I’ve been collecting timepieces for 20+, years, and ‘budget’ normally needs a barometer, say a budget vs $12,000$, for a real Rolex, used. Or Knockoffs from $1300, - sub $100. I’m going to say confidently that people, on ‘budgets’ can barely spend a couple hundred on a wrist watch, and yet you never even discussed the movement. The comparison between most homage styles and the inability to use a movement like this, parking the second hand as most proper chronographs are (at least for my generation), are known for. The sapphire Crystal? The 316L SS case, ok YOU dont like the etching on the case back. And you MENTIONED THAT ZEROING THE SECONDS HAND IS A MATTER OF A SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT. Did you take into consideration + 3/4 of Chrono buyers in this ‘budget’ range have no idea what you are talking about? I’m not the Incredible Hulk, but my wrist is 8.5”, and SO ARE you, giving accurate info? According to sources, wrist sizes 5-6.5” are considered VERY SMALL, (by the IWC), as well as General medical statistics. Maybe it’s no big deal to you, but you aren’t supposed to give, YOUR PERSONAL OPINION based on your preferences, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFER YOUR EDUCATED semi-PROFESSIONAL OPINION, based on a deep knowledge of things that truly matter. **Screw in links, really?? How many budget watches offer THAT? If this wasn’t the hottest HOMAGE watch style on the planet currently, I may have gone easier, but the people watching you, ARE LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE!! As (hard), and far as I can tell, (after a mere 11 sec, ‘specific’ search on Google), there are maybe 4 watches under $200, that are even close to ‘THE SPEC Attributes of this Watch”. I just ordered both style panda’s and an Invicta Version. Why?, because I must see the watch you feel isn’t worth $80, I have an extensive watch collection. So I must see this for myself. I will be offering a full review on both, and unlike what, ‘seems’ to be, {the style of the generations- don’t worry}. I will not detract from my in depth review, by referencing you or take cheap shots at you when recording. My reputation is such because I attempt to offer support for channels, not attack a creator who may need some thoughts of possible ways to increase his benefit to others. As a 30 yr Photog, Filmmaker, and full scale production company, I display professional etiquette, if and when I ever make content myself, personally. Normally I’m making someone else’s brand sky rocket. Now, You may feel I was curt, too curt, maybe even unfair, misunderstanding of your channel, down right incorrect, or many things. I’m telling you I saw your channel and this watch had peaked a tiny curiosity , at face value, and as your channel name ;to me clearly states; you weee a perfect fit of unbiased, clear, and detailed, information. And I’m quite familiar with what and what isn’t said in a title , and description, I spent a large amount of time as an Amazon Live Influencer producer, (ranked as high as #2366, in the Works at one point. And again, my Company is a branding, commercial ad Co. A, Branding Savage Company, for CO’s recognized around the Globe. My critique is for you, I OSPD T what you expect, adjust and grow accordingly. I, ‘sincerely I hope you do, and get reviews from even larger brands”, and are able to offer “the VERY SUBSCRIBERS YOU ARE offering, the BEST INFORMING”. Peace! ***** If I somehow missed, that you are simply a guy offering opinions , on free watches mailed to you for review, review at leisure, and with no actual intention of adding in real world applications, movement reputations, or fit and finish, and material mentions, I TRULY APOLOGIZE. But I’m positive the Retailers are expecting to not have and ending their watch isn’t worth 70£, (yes amazingly, you aren’t the only who receives 7-10 + packages each week - young man). Good Day, I hope you really adjust a bit and crush it, I do!!
Thank you for taking the time to write this and to be honest I'm just a hobbyist, I no pro or even semi-pro. I just enjoy watches and giving my opinions on them. People watch my videos because I provide my view from using the watch, I understand that this might seem odd, but there are plenty of other channels that take the watches as they are, but that isn't me. As for the watch itself, I understand I said I didn't think it was worth the money as I have reviewed way better for less money. Yes the spec is solid, but if the implementation is poor, then the spec is pointless. Yes screw links are great but when they get stuck and don't come out, that is an issue. Plus when you spend as little as you do on making a watch like this, corners get cut and this shows. I'd rather get rid of the screw links and sapphire and have a watch built to last otherwise its going to fall apart after a few months. If you do decide to make a channel, best of luck with it. Have a great new years.
Another - "look at me, i'm awesome" - useless tachy-chrono noone will use but many will buy... wonder why... 😋 Sorry Wes, "it's just me", never interested in mecha-chronos. Be well mate.
A good meca chrono movement combines the accuracy of a quartz movement, with the sweeping seconds hand of a mechanical, that's why they are increasingly popular among lower priced chronograph watches - thats why people buy them.
@@watch-box Any mechanical chronograph, either meca-quartz, hand wind or fully mechanical is tough to read in my oppinion. Especially if you're aiming in accuracy, a cheap quartz chrono will be more accurate to the point of milliseconds, simple as that. Besides that, i tend to appreciate way more a pulsometer, or even a telemeter (both useful in real life) than any tachymeter (too many parameters to care about...). Finally, popular doesn't necessarily mean good in any way, right? Let alone my personal preferences (fan of more plain watches/dials), this particular one is a gimmick of a tachy, all scales in sub dials are almost useless, just aiming in a vintage Rolex model style and the hype you are referring too. Enjoy whatever you love i say always, chronographs are just NOT for me. Be well mate, cheers.
Hey guys, well we have another Pagani today and as you can see by the title we do have some issues with it. Surprise surprise. Hope you enjoy, have a good one.

Nice review. What Pagani cronograph has less qc issues: This one, modern daytona or the Omega moon watch? Or is always a lotery?
Thanks and all of them are really hit and miss but the best in my experience was the daytona homage.
You know what. That’s a nice watch. Steel bezel and I’d probably buy one
It's nice to look at for sure, but way too flawed unfortunately

Agreed mate, they've done better.
is the strap as yellow as it looks in your video? In the Official Store pictures and videos it looks like a nice brown strap with stitching
The video did make it look a little more yellow than it is in person
Question is if you do get one with QC issues what are pagani like will they actually sort the issue out for you or are you stuck with it?
If you buy from the official store they've always been pretty good at handling qc problems and have even sent out spare parts, provided partial refunds or even full refunds on returns.
I have this watch and my only problem is readability without my reading glasses on. How about a video on the realignment of the second hand?

Mr Budget Watch. Your channel name seems odd, since you add no inherent value for Homage Watches. I’ve been collecting timepieces for 20+, years, and ‘budget’ normally needs a barometer, say a budget vs $12,000$, for a real Rolex, used. Or Knockoffs from $1300, - sub $100. I’m going to say confidently that people, on ‘budgets’ can barely spend a couple hundred on a wrist watch, and yet you never even discussed the movement. The comparison between most homage styles and the inability to use a movement like this, parking the second hand as most proper chronographs are (at least for my generation), are known for. The sapphire Crystal? The 316L SS case, ok YOU dont like the etching on the case back. And you MENTIONED THAT ZEROING THE SECONDS HAND IS A MATTER OF A SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT. Did you take into consideration + 3/4 of Chrono buyers in this ‘budget’ range have no idea what you are talking about? I’m not the Incredible Hulk, but my wrist is 8.5”, and SO ARE you, giving accurate info? According to sources, wrist sizes 5-6.5” are considered VERY SMALL, (by the IWC), as well as General medical statistics. Maybe it’s no big deal to you, but you aren’t supposed to give, YOUR PERSONAL OPINION based on your preferences, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFER YOUR EDUCATED semi-PROFESSIONAL OPINION, based on a deep knowledge of things that truly matter. **Screw in links, really?? How many budget watches offer THAT? If this wasn’t the hottest HOMAGE watch style on the planet currently, I may have gone easier, but the people watching you, ARE LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE!! As (hard), and far as I can tell, (after a mere 11 sec, ‘specific’ search on Google), there are maybe 4 watches under $200, that are even close to ‘THE SPEC Attributes of this Watch”. I just ordered both style panda’s and an Invicta Version. Why?, because I must see the watch you feel isn’t worth $80, I have an extensive watch collection. So I must see this for myself. I will be offering a full review on both, and unlike what, ‘seems’ to be, {the style of the generations- don’t worry}. I will not detract from my in depth review, by referencing you or take cheap shots at you when recording. My reputation is such because I attempt to offer support for channels, not attack a creator who may need some thoughts of possible ways to increase his benefit to others.

People watch my videos because I provide my view from using the watch, I understand that this might seem odd, but there are plenty of other channels that take the watches as they are, but that isn't me.
As for the watch itself, I understand I said I didn't think it was worth the money as I have reviewed way better for less money. Yes the spec is solid, but if the implementation is poor, then the spec is pointless. Yes screw links are great but when they get stuck and don't come out, that is an issue.
Plus when you spend as little as you do on making a watch like this, corners get cut and this shows. I'd rather get rid of the screw links and sapphire and have a watch built to last otherwise its going to fall apart after a few months.
If you do decide to make a channel, best of luck with it.
