    Today we look at a great first watch for many people dipping their toe into the world of Homage watches.
    This is, of course, the Pagani Speedmaster PD-1701 - This is the V3 version that has a black date window & a white handset. Prior versions had a white date window & silver hands. This V3 version has corrected these & now looks a lot more like the watch it "homages".
    Please do feel free to leave comments in the section below & I'll come back to you when I can.

    Nice review thanks !
    My 2 cents of opinion is that Pagani making really nice watches plus are abortable for the masses !
    I have 5 Pagani watches and still going strong. My first was back in 2013 was an homage of Rolex datejust fluted watch with a Citizen 8210 movement ! Yes back in the days before they start installing Seiko NH movements they had 8210's that was the workhorse of Citizen. The watch still kicking after 11 years of use.
    Then after all these years got another 4 Pagani with the most recent the Speedy.
    I can't understand how some people complaining and put the watch under the microscope that has very good build quality Seiko "engines" and most important are cheap as chips !
    And not only that they judge Pagani like they have an Omega in their hands and the same people praising the plastic toy that Swatch released that is 5-6 times more expensive than the Pagani !
    Unbelievable ! As Mr.Spock would say ........ "It is not Logical"

    I have that exact same PD1701 V3 in three colors: the black and white one which you have reviewed, but also the blue/white one and the grey dial/golden hands. Btw you forgot to show the nicely engraved screw-in stainless steel case back. These are great homage watches for the price, they feel good on the wrist and have a classic sports-chic look. The only possible problem is - like all Chinese watches - the almost total absence of quality control. Make sure you buy from a reseller that offers a "free return" option, in case you receive a lemon.

    I have a fairly recent version of the Pagani Speedy which I really enjoy. Had no idea of which version it was, but when you mentioned a black date wheel I realised I must have version three as well (?). Funny thing is that I have 6.5 inch wrist, which usually sucks: I tend to take out usually all links and hopefully be able to adjust the micro adjust clasp. But here it was a no-no. Bracelet was still a slight too big for me.
    So next step was to try on the nato strap which was included. I'm usually not a fan of nato straps (unless they're single straps) but this one is pretty nice. The brushing on the steel details and the fabric itself is way better quality than the usual cheap ones I've experienced before. To my surprise I wear this Speedy homage on that nato strap and it feels really good. Great reveiw, and keep up the good work. You've got yourself a new subscriber here, btw.

    I wish someone could clear up for me why some of the V3 s have the chronograph numbers starting at 500 and are stepped , as you show in your video of the Ali Express sale page , whereas the watch you are reviewing , like mine , has the Chrono numbers starting at 400 and circling the bezel . Other PD watches with a similar bezel are said to be sapphire crystal not ceramic . Just wonder why or is the one you are reviewing a V3.5 ? Thanks for the review .

    • @Ott0vonBismarck
      @Ott0vonBismarck 5 місяців тому

      pretty sure they changed the bezel to avoid any legal issues with the watch being deemed a direct 1:1 copy. This is my personal theory and the most logical reason. I have the 400 bezel and I dont mind it as much, though I do wish I had the 500 one. The bezel on the panda/meteorite dial version is the 500 bezel and I am thinking of swapping it onto my black on black watch.

    • @Ott0vonBismarck
      @Ott0vonBismarck 5 місяців тому

      the "tachymeter" text is also different. On the omega and older Pagani it reads "tachymetré" in French and on the current Pagani it reads "tachymeter" in English. Not too big of a deal, but would prefer the original.

    • @Ott0vonBismarck

      That would easily double the price, for one, and the only way they'd be able to keep it under 200 bucks would be by using a Seagull ST19, which is unreliable AF. If you want a Chinese Moonwatch homage with an automatic, buy the Phylida.

    A bloody stupid watch, this. I ordered mine in the "Alaska" version because i wanted a Mars SwatchxOmega and there is no Swatch shop within hundreds of km from me and I did not want to pay the scalpers a premium. Should not have done that.
    This watch made me realise, that you don'thave to pay thousands for a good watch.
    Honestly, what's not to like? Sapphire crystal, creamic bezel, 316L stainless steel case, reasonable bracelet, reliable mecaquartz movement. Hell, my wife would declare me stupid for spending Omega money (or Rolex money) on a watch. And, frankly, after buying that Pagani, I would never buy a watch that is 60 times the price of a Pagani for ... what? Slightly better case brushing? Slightly less rattly bracelet?
    No. I won´t splurge for minimal benefits, I rather buy me 15 Paganis and have the styles that I always wanted for 1% - one hundreth! - ofnthe cost.

      @@TheWatchChannelAU Thought about that again and came to the conclusion that they will not do it. Currently, they have the low end market on their own. Anything lower than Pagani - even their own brands Pagrne and Benyar - and you go into bubble gum machine teritory. Moving up will put them in competition with San Martin and others. I feel they ejoy their territory. I don´t know, if there is brand loyality in this market. I buy Pagani - and I have bought 10+ Pagani watches - because it is perfectly acceptable quality for a perfectly accepable price. I would definitively not go below Pagani. TMI movements, sapphire crystal, 316L cases and a decent quality is the minimum I would seltle for. If they would get into San Martin territory pricewise, Pagani would have to offer a much, much better product than they have now. I see a moderate opportunity to trade up, offering better lume and QC - but stay decisively below San Martin. In my market (EU), that would be a hard ceiling of €200 for a Pagaini.
