Unfortunately they have dropped the iconic dots at 12 o'clock on the latest version. Aliexpress is still using the pictures of the previous version for some reason (probably because the "2 dot" version looks far superior ).
Watch out man, don’t use the word fake when talking about homage / design replicas, some prominent channels have been shut down by youtube due to misinformed complaints about fake watches being promoted.
Just got one. Requires a little home finishing on the edges. Cool bracelete but I put a black leather strap on it. Lumens are almost non existent but totally worth $120 I paid for V3. Looks like a $8000 watch from across the dinner table.
now 5 months later another comment here :) I have ordered the exact one that you have presented (ordered in July 2023) and have exactly the same feeling each time i take this watch to my hands. its just amazing at every aspect happy new year
It really is that good. Love mine. Every time I wear it I keep thinking "only £60". I have a colleague who has the original Omega Speedy and we compared them side by side. Sure it is not quite there but he was impressed with it for just £60.
I have the two tone gold and black dial. I find the 24 hour sub dial worthless. They should have put an hour elasped instead of a 24 hour sub-dial. My problem with any quartz watch is that sometimes they stop working when you replace the battery for no reason. Other than that, beautiful watch. Great review.
Depends of the movement quality. Most cheap Miyota movements yes they will break pretty quick and easily, now more mecha-Hybrid quartz and Swiss quartz last pretty decently in my experience.
Always be sure to short out the "all clear" contacts after replacing the battery, before closing up the watch. Many quartz movements get finicky if you replace the battery without shorting AC to "reboot" the watch.
I'm a big fan of NASA and the Space Program as well as Star Trek. So I've considered this watch for some time. I had other watches on my list for the 11/11 Sale so I thought I'd wait until the next big AliExpress sale. But then was watching the late 90s TV show Millennium. There was a shot of star of the show, the great Lance Henricksen looking at his watch. And there IN FULL 60 INCH SCREEN is the Omega that the 1701 homages. I ordered the watch before the episode ended.
Very nice review and I really like the way you stress out how nice this watch is. Do cool with those additional funny moments. I’m ordering one for sure, only not sure which color yet. Keep it going. Liked and subscribed 👏🏻😎
316 L stainless steel is reference to “light in carbon” steel witch is a medium quality variation used for example in surgical instruments and medical materials. Is the steel used also in Apple high end devices as the Iphones Pro till this year (witch are titanium grade 5 finished). In the original Speedmaster they used also 316 L alloy, and nowadays swiss high end watches are built in 904 stainless steel witch is considered the best alloy known in terms of degradation by oxides and salted water, but way more expensive
Nice, but why didn't you get the Version 4? Even better! No date! Just subscribed by the way! Good to support new channels! Oh just to let you know the mechanical module on the VK63 is running the big chrono seconds hand, the 60 minutes, and the 24 hr timer. The quartz is running the hour, minute and small seconds hand subdial, and date, though strictly speaking the date wheel is also connected by a mechanical gear, .
My advice after many years in the hobby, ist to not buy this watch but save up your money and purchase the Bulova Luna Pilot 43. Of course it's personal taste so no hate for the pagani.
316L SS resists corrosion very well, so it's preferable than cheaper grades of SS. Still, I think the watch needs more polish. The case and bracelet have some sharp edges and the watch just feels kinda cheap because of that. It could also use some AR coating on the crystal, which is a shame given how it's sapphire and it's almost too good to be true.
Im eyeing up the rose gold one but with the rose gold dial. I have the pagarni design submariner in bi metal. Proper work horse and good quality so hoping this is similar quality...watching your vid it seems like it is!
Just subbed to your channel. Let me know when your video on the RG version is posted and I'll be sure to watch with white gloves, of course. On a serious note - thanks for watching the video!

Far superior because of 2 dots .....😂😂😂

Thanks for the heads-up!
Use the word HOMAGE and you will be aces. Subbed to the channel wish you success in this.

I have this watch in my AliExpress shipping cart.
Just ordered up the stainless steel version. Watching your video really sold it to me. Thanks, man!
I hope you enjoy it!

The design on the back of the watch is not the hippocampus. The hippocampus refers to the picture of the seahorse on omega watches.

I bought the V4. It's awesome. It's built like a tank.
Love your enthusiasm!
unfortunally not a automatic watch.. Thx for the presentation.
Superb enthusiastic video. Thanks.
Great review man
Greetings from Ireland had to get it after your real review..🤯

Just saw your video review and I was so impressed I bought one, what an amazing watch.

Best homage ever...
Damn that’s hot… I’d take that over a MoonSwatch 7 days a week!

Of course it's personal taste so no hate for the pagani.
Do you have other alternatives with 40mm or smaller?
@@n0nchalant39 Hey, maybe the Timex Q Chrono? I watched some reviews of this watch and really liked it. But I have never handeled it myself. Cheers!
@@n0nchalant39 Or even smaller and solar powered. The 39mm Seiko Prospex Chrono SSC..... But that goes more in the direction of a Daytona Style.
If only Bulova would make a Luna that didn’t have such a massive lug to lug measurement, a lot would agree with you 🫤
@@domgatrell651 Yes true, that is an issue.

Gold watches are extremely tacky imho
It is a beautiful Watch
Yes, it really is that good.
Before u remove from the box it looks GREAT
Good review
What about First or master copy PD 1701 ? Is ir worth to buy?
316L 3 parts of steel 1 part of stainless and 6 parts of love.
Is it a mechanical watch？
Quartz. The chrono is mechanical but is powered off the battery rather than an automatically wound spring.
Impossible to be mechanical chronograph in this price range
Looks like a speedmastet
what is your wrist size?
7 inch wrist size.
This dude has no idea what he is talking about. Also the way he tossed the RG watch tells you all you need to know about this dude.
Just subbed to your channel. Let me know when your video on the RG version is posted and I'll be sure to watch with white gloves, of course. On a serious note - thanks for watching the video!
it's a nice watch. just feels cheap
So does the real one.
Do you have one?
