When I ordered this watch, I did as you suggested, and asked for the brushing to be aligned correctly. It arrived and the brushing is dead straight. Thanks for the tip!
Another good looking effort. One should not be too critical at that price point anyway. Would compliment that San Martin seamaster homage very nicely thank you 👍👍
Thanks for this very detailed review of the PD-1707. I'm going to get this one in the 11/11 sale. UNtil recently, there have been very few reviews of this watch. Regarding the crooked brushing, it seems a very minor fault and most likely one I wouldn't even notice. Thanks again and well done!
I've seen this watch on a few channels and it gets better looking each time I see it. I understand that quartz turns off some but I have quite a lot of quartz watches and this wouldn't stop me from getting this watch. I don't really see why they have to keep putting a 24 hour sub dial on the dial? Just put a 60 seconds hand sub dial there. That'd be my only annoyance with this movement/watch. High quality watch outside of my one complaint. Good stuff! Great video. Cheers!
Thank you so much Angel! The 24 hour subdial is standard on the VK64. And this watch is not entirely quartz, the chronograph module is mechanical with a very nice clicking sensation 😁
Thank you for the review, it was very informative and professional. I have just ordered a blue version, for $56! I have no idea how they can produce and ship a decent product for that price, but we will see how it looks when it arrives! I will try your suggestion and contact the supplier to try to ensure I get a good one. How does one get in touch with them, any suggestions? Thanks again.
waiting for the next sale. will order both the chronograph and automatic version. i have the cadisen 42mm non chronograph and i just realized how it feels big on my wrist.
For the bezel brushing, it's not that it's off to the left. The issue is that the whole bezel is misaligned a few degrees relative to the case. Notice how the left face of the bezel's octagon doesn't align with the left face of the case. If the bezel was installed perfectly, then the brushing would also appear to be straight (well, straighter anyway). This bezel misalignment appears to be a common issue for all examples of the PD 1707 that I've seen, mine included. My watch's bezel alignment was off enough that I asked for a partial refund from the seller (which AliExpress granted). For the price (even without the partial refund), the finishing quality of the watch is otherwise very, very good. The dial is beautiful, and the bracelet glimmers in light. But the PD 1707 remains an inexpensive homage and a reminder that some of the thousands spent on a real AP Royal Oak goes into the watchmakers ensuring perfect fit and finish in their watches. You get an imitation of that level of detail here, but can only get so much craftsman detail for $60 (what I paid for my watch, shipping included). For example, the screws on the bezel are all fake screwheads.
To be fair its not a bad looking watch (due to RO ) and finishing is reasonable but realistically 75 quid all in( inc uk tax) is the max for this ,like others my view is the 24hr dial isn't really needed. Good review & some nice shots of the watch .. maybe made it look better than it is 😉.
I don't know, the crooked bezel brushing pretty much kills this. Every specimen I've seen so far in other reviews have this. So even if you message them, they can't send you what they don't have.
I saw the same problem in the non chrono but not all watches had this, that's why I'm saying that dropping them a message might help. If in the end people end up receiving a crooked finished one they can always send it back for free
Très intéressante, du coup je viens de regarder une revue de la Cadisen et conclusion pour moi la Pagani remporte facilement le match, plus "fine", beau bracelet, beau travail sur la lunette, meilleur saphir, meilleure étanchéité, poussoirs vissés..... Et j'attends de savoir ce que donne l'hommage de la Speed de Pagani.
Very nice video!!! Not a fan of the design. Not a quartz guy. These watches are very well built for the money. It is almost like they are taking a $100 hit on every watch they sell. Great bargain watches.
Elle a l’air sympa, j’hésite entre celle-ci et la Daytona hommage. Si j’ai bien compris elle a le VK63 et est étanche à 200m ??? Ça me parait beaucoup pour du pagani design
@@Horologique cool, j’ai déjà un chrono mécanique Sugess et j’en suis content mais celle-ci irait bien dans ma collection. Et vu son étanchéité (et son prix), on lui pardonne aisément le fait d’être une montre à quartz :)
Sorry, Ali Express pricing change all the time, these might have changed since I posted the video. I also mentioned the price without taxes as most of the World gets but for us Europeans 😭
Because it's a chronograph, it's supposed to do that. Just push the 2 o'clock button to start running it. The aim of a chronograph is to measure time at your demand
@@franciiglesia3240 absolutely nothing to pardon, we all stared there 👍. And Gshock are great watches 👌. Good luck with your continued adventure discovering mechanical watches and don't hesitate to check the videos I've made 😁
You can nowadays, but only with the leather strap that Pagani sells only for their Royal Oak-style homage watches (and maybe their Tissot PDX homage too, since it has a similar bracelet design). It is currently $25.
Hi there....please, why is there no mention of what is in my opinion THE biggest flaw of this watch:...ABSOLUTELY and unbelievably NO minute-, second-, let alone 1/4 second track (would make sense with the VK63 chrono hand increments, right?) So please Pagani, who needs a tachymeter scale INSTEAD of a properly readable stopwatch?? An absolute no-brainer, pun intended:-) Do like your channel though, all the best John

I'm really glad!! I'm sure you will enjoy this great timepiece 👍👍

Just received this watch a few days ago. The brushing on mine is perfect. And the time is very accurate as you would expect with a quartz
does it feels cheap or like a 90 euro casio or citizen for example?
This is the best review out on this watch thank you keep on doing reviews exactly like this
Thank you so much for your heartwarming comment!

Thank you for you comment. Indeed, the bezel is misaligned, but other than that this watch is surprisingly well made
Hi Oliv honnêtement ces petites Pagani sont époustouflantes je me tâtais à me la commander tu m'as encore convaincu 😉👌
Ahh ben j'en suis ravi 😊. Si jamais tu pouvais utiliser le lien dans le description je t'en serais bien bien remerciant 🙏
Very good review. I would love a head to head with the Cadisen.
Thank you, it's on the queue 😁
DO THE COMPARISON PLEASE! 😁

Thank you 😁. I believe it comes to 75£ right? Otherwise there's the 11.11 sale coming 😁
i have this watch its great for the money my only complaint is that the finishing on all the edges are a little sharp.
Yes, that's true sadly...
A real beauty!

hi, did you check the water resistance? thanks for the review.
Please do compare Pagani Vs Cadisen!
A lot of reviews coming, but I'll do my best in the coming weeks 👍
Thank you
There is no micro adjustment. Taking one link out makes it too tight. Putting that link back in makes it loose
Why the left dial doesn't work?

Tout à fait, cette Pagani est pas mal, surtout avec ce VK63 qui est pas mal du tout et à cette gamme de prix 👌
Does anyone know where I can get a decent leather strap for this PD 1707? cheers!

Thanks mate and thanks for commenting even though you don't like the watch 👍

@@Kaneda34 oui, en plus c'est un mecha quartz, le module de chronographe est mécanique 😁
@@Kaneda34 idem
Do you like the bracelet of the Pagani or Cadisen better?
The Pagani as it's a little less thick
@@Horologique I bought the Cadisen already...but I sorta wish it had the Pagani style looking bracelet.
I like the waffle style dial but going to admit that it isn't my favourite watch from Pagani. Nice work with the review though
Thanks mate!
Hi your link shows 105 dollars,79 pounds, plus tax and duty to EU which may put another 30 euros on the watch , please look at your link.
Sorry, Ali Express pricing change all the time, these might have changed since I posted the video. I also mentioned the price without taxes as most of the World gets but for us Europeans 😭
Crown misshapen? Doh ! Pagan crown gaurds?
‘Reverse Panda’.
Sounds like a Yoga position! Nice watch,though.👍🏾
Or a Kama sutra one 🤣
@@Horologique Yes. Or that!🤣
Could it be used with a rubber strap?
No I don't think they have done that yet
@@Horologique okay, thanks
Why mine always stop at 12( the seconds hand)??
Because it's a chronograph, it's supposed to do that. Just push the 2 o'clock button to start running it. The aim of a chronograph is to measure time at your demand
Pardon me with my ignorance on watches, first time owner of chronograph, always a g shock guy
@@franciiglesia3240 absolutely nothing to pardon, we all stared there 👍. And Gshock are great watches 👌. Good luck with your continued adventure discovering mechanical watches and don't hesitate to check the videos I've made 😁
can you change the strap on this watch?
No you can't, it's an integrated bracelet model
You can nowadays, but only with the leather strap that Pagani sells only for their Royal Oak-style homage watches (and maybe their Tissot PDX homage too, since it has a similar bracelet design). It is currently $25.

on est plutôt à 92 euros avec la tva :)
En Europe oui, malheureusement 😭
elle me paraît pas mal du tout .
N'est-ce pas 😁 ?
Vk64 movement... uggh.
PASS!
Its vk63
