Another whopping Ali Sale! I decided, with consultation, to split into two videos this time around, homages and originals. Today it is the turn of the lookalikes. There are so damned many to choose from, but as you'll see, I tended to favour a small group of brands that I know make a decent watch for the money they charge. Cheers, Jody
"Pagani ... masters of the colour photocopier." PMSL!
San Martin to Pagani: "I see your Ricoh and raise you a Canon" 🤣
@@armandr1613 Oh, Brother!!!!
@@grahamyoung622 nice.
San Martin BB58 is the one to get. So well made! I'm reviewing the blue one this weekend and I'm blown away by the finishing and build quality!
This man's computer was crashing with that many alixpress pqges open
You can't beat the heritage of a watch made by a company who've been around since 8500
Only in China... their total lack of ability to see the obvious might explain why they didn’t invent the photocopier in the first place.
@@vondahe in defense of the Chinese, they’ve been around a lot longer than 2000 years. They lose track of our “AD” BS and who can blame them.
"water ghost" is the Chinese nickname for the Rolex Submariner
In line with the Chinese tradition for ridiculous names, I’m waiting for the Instant Happiness model.
I had the Pagani 'No Time To Die' already in my basket .. removed it and used your link :)
You're a good boy David !
@@antsfur Cant hurt to help out a little
Me, too!
I already have it and am very happy with it.
I got the Steeldive version of the Capt. Willard homage for a lesser price. Shop around people; shop around...
"This watch is so much better than the Squale for about half of the price"
-> TGV will remember that
I can see the boxing gloves coming out as soon as THV sees this.....😜
@@MichaelandCathy1999 my money on Jody early in the first round.
@@mathieut3197 You know the stretch Scotsman keeps the distance with the jab. 😂
@@armandr1613 I mostly suspect TGV to be all bark and no bite....
Lol TGV just said the Squale is now his favorite yesterday.
I’m actually watching this video in my pub shed on the tele, while commenting on this video on my phone. As a fellow Scotsman, shrewd and watch obsessed like you, I would just like to say well done mate. Your videos are insightful and well put together. My wife blames me for my current watch expenses. I blame you. Keep it up mate 👏🏻
2 years ago I had 1 Longines and 1 TAG Heur. By now I've added some 25 Pagani's, Lige's, Synoke's and miscellaneous other stuff.
Thanks for showing the way Jodi!
You had more honor 2 years ago.
I think you maybe suffering from long Covid
So...some nice watches and a load of shit then 🤣
@@nosamsemaj I don't want to wear the same clothes every day. I don't want to wear the same watch every day. I cant spend a few thousand grand per watch if I want to have a lot of them.
And amazingly: the TAG came with a pressed clasp. At the time of buying I didn't even pay attention to it. Now I think they should be ashamed of themselves for that price.
I would appreciate a same video focusing on high beat quartz. Owning multiple watches it is convenient they are always accurate and you hardly see the difference with automatics
Do you mean HAQ? I have owned a Longines VHP GMT for just over 18 months and it is running +/- 0 seconds for all that time. THAT is HIGH ACCURACY!!!
Love watches, quartz or auto makes no difference. HOROLOGY RULES!!!!
@@grahamyoung622 No, look at the vid at the scene where Jodi shows the pagani hommage of a rolex daytona. A normal quartz ticks ever second, so you see the second hand jump every second. A high beat lets the second hand make multiple small movements per second so it almost looks and feels like an automatic, but they are quartz so you don't have to wind them and set them if you only wear them like 1 day a week.
@@findingandvalue unfortunately the second hand (3:00 sub dial) only ticks once per second on the Pagani Daytona homage. You're referring to the Chronograph hand which has the sweep.
When you forget about this sale and you just bought a Pastel Blue RLG... but I guess Jody is right, I should get just one more watch 👍
Why won't Pagani drop the freaking "Pagani Design" text. 😭 Just keep the logo!
True
For me the Cheronometer is the most original watch just because of this misspelling.
It's kinda like a slap in the face but in a good way.
ua-cam.com/video/XmixOFXgsfE/v-deo.html
I hope Guanqin never fixes their typos, the 8500 cheronometer has grown on me and I think it adds a little extra charm on an already good watch.
My first experience with Pagani Design and AliExpress was the 11/11 sale last year. It took two months to get the watch, and there was almost no communication from anyone. I like the watch, but not AliExpress so much. I've heard from many others who have had much better experiences with them. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I just might have to buy another one now that I've seen this video. That Pagani Aquaracer homage looks really good. Great video, Jody.
If the sellers are deceptive with their photos then stay away! Thanks for this video!
Always happy when I hear “Helloooooooo”
So much energy I love this UA-camr.
I'm waiting for Pagani to start making San Martin homages! :-)
A copy of an homage. I’m sure someone in China is already working on it. The question is, would anyone know if they bought a fake homage?
Such a LIMITED selection of brands!
I have a few of the watches in this listing and love the San Martin’s I own, but the Pagani Design Date Just was a big surprise. It is extremely comfortable, great looking, solid watch!
I brought the Pagani datejust (blue) into my local watch shop to fix the bracelet clasp (because Pagani). Came back to find that the watch tech was so impressed, he had bought it for himself. Definitely a great recommendation 👍
Hellooooooo..3rd this morning. Great vid Jody, hope you enjoyed your break! 😎
Hellooooooooo Russ!
Bought the Addies flieger sterile last year. Nice addition to my colection
The San Martin sub is a really strong argument against getting another zelos. The brand seems to hold a sweet spot of respectability against many of the other contenders
I’ve got several San Martin’s including the ones here & I can’t recommend them more highly!👍🏼 High standard of build, finish, keep terrific time & are great value. Yes I also have a couple of Zelos.😎👍🏼
I really like mine. The only marks against it are the sharp edges and the clasp. Objectively, it's a good one. But if they're gonna ape Rolex, why not go all the way and use their glide lock or easy link clasp? They've done that on their new 41mm "Sub."
@@BetamaxBabe exactly right about the sharp edges. We’re talking very sharp at the corners of the case. Aside from that, it’s such a good value. Love my ghost.
@@baylorba1 I don't feel them while wearing it. I understand that they've rounded some of those edges on their new 41mm model. AND they're using a glide lock system!
@@BetamaxBabe That sounds fantastic. Do you have a link for the model you're referring to?
If Pagani tried to conceal the truth and fool their potential customer with a Photoshop (2:35) before we even make a purchase, what make you think Pagani will be honest when you finally give Pagani your hard earned $? I don't trust Pagani. Thanks for pointing it out. I will stick with San Martin. They have been treating me well since day one. Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work!
Can I just add I bought two Paganis back last summer.
A submariner homage and a GMT master homage. Both are great looking and well finished for the under £75 each I paid. But, the GMT stopped working after about three months. Frustration and sadness prevailed, although at the price my wallet wasn’t in too bad a shape. So I messaged them and said “surely it has a guarantee period?” Yes sir it does send it back, they replied.
Long story short watch departed Uk 18th December for China - 10th March brand spanker’s replacement arrives from China. I would say I trust Pagani.
Result: happiness!
I just ordered the San Martin Whaterghost for an incredible 158 € ( 186 $ )🤯
Thank you Jody 😁
I bought the pagani seamster homage with the rubber strap.... Lovely watch but it was less than a week before the rubber strap started falling apart. I'd recommend getting it on the mesh
That San Martin BB58 with an SW200 is pretty compelling.
Agreed, sort of. The PT5000's are supposed to be pretty decent movements but they've only been around since 2015 (ETA clone of course), so not a long history-not sure how reliable they will be in the long term. The Chinese CAN do great stuff. Is the Sellita worth an extra $200? Hmmmmm.............
Awesome list as always Jody. Really looking forward to your review of the Pagani Design Explorer 2 homage and your top 10 originals video tomorrow.
Whether you’re into homages or not I think it’s interesting to think about the quality level you get from the homage brands on Ali. Most of the time you’ll get a reliable if not very exciting movement, sapphire crystal, solid endlinks, solid bracelet, milled clasp, screw down crown and everything will be aligned. There are many lower end brands where you don’t get any of those and there are entry level Swiss brands that won’t get you all of those for significantly more cash.
And I imagine a lot of these factories used by the homage makers on Ali also supply parts to the more established big names too. We pay more for the “right” name on the dial than we do for the actual physical components of the watch a lot of the time.
Just got the Addies Dive Petite Prince Flieger with the sterile dial about a month ago for $72 shipped. Loving it so far. Seems pretty well made and so far very accurate.Can't go wrong with a Seiko movement.
I received my AddiesDive 'Petit Prince' Style Flieger yesterday. I really like the watch, not to sure about the band, but I've already ordered a replacement. Thanks for all your video's I really enjoy them and I like the budget end of watch collection.
been avidly waiting for this exact video for weeks!! thanks jody
Show us the Pagani bb58 before the sales end pleaseeee
This is their ultra famous Cheronometer which they have been making since 8500 ..... LOL
Pagani Design has a new Sub homage 40mm worth reviewing it, last one was 43mm too big for some folks, they also have the Kermit version ;)
Jodi Jodi-Hhuuurraaayyy for Jodi's pre-digested Alliexpress!
Love that cheerful Vader shirt! Keep up the good work. I appreciate the value of homages.
Aghh you are killing me. I really like that pilot watch
Really like the Pagani chrono! Would look great on a nato.
Jody, as a laugh you should do a top ten favourite t shirts for a bit of fun.
I found alot of them on Red Bubble and spend 100€ only on watch T Shirts. I must be careful, that could be the next collecting trap.
Excellent video was worth looking forward to this morning, as i do every Saturday morning for my baked croissants!
Will watch again but with a pen and paper. Thanks
Jody I used my browser just so I could use your affiliate link. Never thought I’d be into a Swiss homage but that pagani black bay looks awesome for the money. Looking forward for that review
fun stuff, I got a Phylida "Rolex Skyking" homage a couple of months ago that quickly became my daily
Hey man I wanted to thank you for your videos. Pulled the trigger on Pagani sub homage and I’m looking forward to
Have a seiko auto mech that looks like a Rollie for under $70 - you saved me time and money.
Why no phylida watches and so many paganni? From what I have seen the phylida are slightly better made?
Because the brand name is an STD😉
Loved the vid Jody! No mention of Phylida though? The Phylida SMP homage is so good it’s surely worth a look. It runs rings round the Pagani Design version in terms of looks. They are also making some nice looking submariner homages as well...
Phylida sounds like a feminine hygiene product to me..... I'll pass on the brand, I think.
@@JustOneMoreWatch And yet happy to review watches with glaring typos and nonsense dates of brand establishment? 🤔🤔
"JOMW", helping me spend my cash since lockdown 2020. Great video yet again 👍
One of my fav videos and t shirts of the last few weeks -.thanks for all your hard work
It slices, it dices, it makes Julian fries. I love your enthusiasm. You are my finder of bargains.
Thanks Jodie, cost me a fortune. Just ordered 4 Pagani. The Explorer 2 polar, Daytona panda, No time to die and BB58 with red bezel.👍
Wife has just had a Benyar Milgaus hommage delivered from AliExpress. Sister brand to Pagani. Not too bad tbf for £43. Looks big on her wrist but she likes bigger watches. Bought this as a daily beater and to keep the Omega Seamaster Professional I gave her as a weekend special.
Great video as always, im so in love in this san martin retro one...i will get it one day for sure
I've been Ahm'ing & Arh'ing over the 38mm Retro Diver from San Martin since its release.
I think I hit them up for a custom dial and buy it.
A cracking watch for the $.
Thanks 🙏🏻
A little horological fun
A little watch hunting fun
... that won't break the bank.
Thanks 🙏🏻
One brand I still want to see you review is phylida. They're pretty new and had a speedmaster homage at one point
Edit: it was also an actual manual chrono too for around $150-200
Phylida is not a brand. It’s the same shameless knockoffs you used to buy from street vendors in Bangkok and Chinese cities, now they cut out the middleman.
"First born child that you have to give to the AD ." ROFL! Excellent video! 👶🏻🤣
A few weeks ago I bought my first Cadisen and I am impressed how well it is made. I was Pagany Customer allready.
Thank you for the great Tipps.
San Martin seems to be a brand which stands a bit out in terms of quality and looks.
I think I will try the BB 58 homage.
Hi there...you should also look at the Phylida range. Their new Sub in 40mm looks better then Pagani...glide lock for example! The NTTD Omega that they do, I have the new V2 version, is MUCH nicer then the Pagani that misses some details. They now also have a very cool deep sea James Camaron version of the Sea Dweller...also realy cool!
Wow, what a brilliant review. Great selection, great research. Nuff said.
Love my Seamaster homage. Great watch on the rubber strap.
San Martin have just released a 2021 subby homage which has the PT5000. A slight variation to the Water Ghost but more of a direct competitor to the Cronos.
love the Pagani Explorer
Big thanks for the video Jody!
This is an awesome video especially for those who are just getting started with watches. How much fun can you have for a couple hundred dollars? Lots and lots!
That vintage Rolex San Martin towards the end and the Cronos are what I’d be going for... if I didn’t have something ELSE in mind :)
Thanks Jody, some interesting choises here. Still can't help but being more curious about the original whatches on your next vid. EDIT: That tip of a milled clasp is super. Thanks!
Merkur/Seizenn do a "Mini Turtle" equivalent to the Steeldive Willard. 😉
Merkur also has a homage to a really nice Sinn UTC, gmt watch looks incredible.
Not sure why cheap homage watches would bother with any Swiss movement. Seems silly.
Miyota or Seiko, absolutely. Cheap and reliable. Perfect for a cheap homage.
Seagull makes nice high beat movements that you'd think would be a perfect fit for these low cost high value Chinese homages. Maybe that's what that pt5000 (I think) is that Cronos offers on some of their watches.
@@marcusebenhack9053 I legitimately have no issue with Seagull movements, but personally would prefer a Seiko or Miyota for a cheap watch. Better quality control, cheap to replace, and can be repaired by any jackass watchmaker. I'm sure the Seagulls are cheap to replace, but probably fewer watchmakers are familiar with them.
PD Daytona BEST value for money, PERIOD! The rubber straps on the black/rose gold model are excellent and take away the possible negatives of the sometimes dodgy bracelet clasps (I have good ones, but that is not always the case) Great reviews, Jody. Can't wait for the next installment. Maybe pick myself up a PD 'No time to Die' on a strap (I already have the white one on a blue strap, the strap isn't too bad and I got a free one as well. That NH35 is running +1 second fast/day, go figure!!!!!).
Great video, Jodie! The cyclops free Paganis look great. 👍
Just bought the PD JB No Time To Die on the black strap from The Trendy Men's Watch Store. It was posted same day, typical for this store-their service is excellent. I have bought from them before, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SELLER, and their prices are consistently amongst the lowest on Ali come sale time. A week or so ago they sent me a $10 voucher, but I didn't logon to Ali in time to redeem it. I contacted them and they reinstated it, which was very good of them, esp. since the sale was still on.
The bronze san martin looks very tempting
the gold rubber "daytona is great
Homages definitely arent for meeee! 🙈 but I still freaking love your videos! Some good watches in here!
COOL!
...And I will come back tomorrow too!
The "Seamaster" is soooooo tempting, but Pagani Design is a pandora's box I'm too afraid to open lol.
Thank you for doing the video, Jody.
I’ve got 5 Pagani watches & have had absolutely no issues! Very well made, keep great time, look fantastic & great value.👍🏼
@@andrewd7586 I'm sure they are. Almost everyone who uses PD watches praises them (except for the bracelets). The thing is, I'm afraid that by getting the SM, I'll end up getting more & more of them, the BB & XII are already giving me ideas, plus the GMT-Master II. Its a slippery slope my friend lol.
Thanks.
@@IceDree Believe me mate I went over the EDGE many years ago! My collection exceeds 250! I kid you not! Yes I have my grail watches but these fillers get as much, well more wrist time than my so called name brands! I just LOVE one more watch!😍🤤😎👍🏻
@@andrewd7586 oh wow! Much respect Andrew! You're the type of collector we aspire to be like.
@@IceDree Yeah it’s called a severe addiction! My adult kids have both suggested such! I’m living with it!🤤🤣🤭👍🏻
Hi Jody thanks for the video. Just a note for any of your UK subscribers. Aliexpress is now adding tax to your purchase (20% VAT). I have bought 2 watches from them before using your links and this wasn't in force then.
They have been doing the tax thing to me for a year or two now, I live in NZ and Ali add 15% to my purchases. I do wonder if ANY OF IT gets back to the NZ Taxman???!!!
@@grahamyoung622 Very valid point Graham 🤔
Abandoned a purchase today because of this. I probably won't be looking to buy anything from Ali Express for the foreseeable future.
Jody, I feel that this video can be the ultimate example of AliXpress value for money proposition. I still WANT an Oris Squid or a Bulgari Octo, but all one NEEDS is one of these. Well done sir
In for the AddiesDive flieger and the recommended clasp! I'll have long forgotten ordering them by the time they get here - it'll be a nice surprise for future me!
Got an Aliexpress order in just over 2 weeks, has to be a record! I agree with you on this watch, it's comfortable, looks great, and the sterile version is so tasteful and understated. Great first impression!
I have the Pagani Omega homage on the vintage rubber and I have to say it wears very nice, but the strap is beginning to fray. The movement also gave me some issues, but I think its fine now.
I might include the Heimdallr Seiko Monster homage.
Is there a good Bell and Ross homage watch? The iconic square shaped ones would be nice 👌
Why don't you buy the real one ?
@@vianouche1 Often you see videos and articles about homage watches for Rolex and Omegas etc. But I have never came across homage for BR. So I was interested in if there was any otherwise I would not have asked. I like the look of BR but it it has not to be a "copy" and I am not that big of fan so I am willing to pay BR money.
@@bsoj1977 buy the real one and don't buy copies. Be true. That is simple.
@@vianouche1 I asked a simple question in a video about homages. If you do not like it, do not watch the video......And I do not understand why answer if you do not have an answer.....And also as I said I was looking for a similar, not a copy. Just as there is several Seikos looking like Rolexs sub there also has to be square aviator looking watches that is my example look similar to a better price point
@@bsoj1977 Well said, I’m sure if you wanted to buy a Bell and Ross you would 👍
What is the issue with pressed claps? I have lots of watches with pressed and lots with milled. Personally I can't tell the difference when I am wearing it. I know pressed are weaker but I don't bash my watches about generally.
Waiting for the Pagani Sky Dweller!
LOL! - Agreed!!
It looks like Pagani have really improved the aquaracer homage from the version they had a few years ago.
Nicely done sir! Thank you! Now the real work begins. Deciding!!!!
I was waiting for this video since the beggining of March ;)
Thank you!!!
What time is the video coming out tomorrow?
I have to plan my day around it.
Thanks for the recommendations.
I bought the Pagani Datejust grey dial but unfortunately I got a bad one. There's something wrong with the crown, it feels very cheap and fragile when I wind it, the magnifier is misaligned, the caseback is full of scratches and very poorly machined. The bracelet looks nice but several links are so tight you can't even move them. It's not bad on wrist but feels cheap. Now the case and dial look ok and I'm not complaining considering I paid just around $80 but wouldn't buy one again. San Martin is just so much better for what's still a fair price. Very cool video thanks Jody!
"If you can get past those two typos" on the Guanqin. No, i won't get past those two typos. It's been so long since it's out, even your video was almost a year ago. It's not because of the typos, it's because of what they represent. It's literally a five minute job on their part to correct it, but they are still yet to make that correction. If companies can get complacent with things like this and people buy them, they will keep doing it and not give a crap. Today it's just typos, who knows what that may be in the future...
I agree.
The Chinese market doesn’t care. There’s cachet in some kind of English on the dial, and that’s what they’re optimizing for.
Agree 100%. Cheap junk made without any care I won't touch.
Chinese tat not even worthy of some storage space in Del Boy's PU briefcase. I'd respect someone a lot more with an F91-w on their wrist.
I just can't bring myself to wear a "cheronometer," but, hey, you do you!😀 A lot of great choices there, Jody. Might have to pull the trigger on one of those! Cheers!
I've just ordered a mudmaster homage for under £10 absolutely bonkers. A friend has one and it's a definite no brainer.
@Time For Another Watch
It's a smael. It doesn't have all the features of the original. But you wouldn't expect that at the price. Purchased on aliexpress.
I picked up the San Martin BB58 last month , Apart from the bracelet which is a pain in the ass to try and resize, I think its great quality and you should indeed pick one up Jody :)
Roger that, Alan. Definitely got plans for one of those.
Love the Vader shirt. I have that on a mug.
The Heimdallr Monster Homage is also worth mentioning.
No Heimdallr at all, just as good as san martan!! The Heimdallr Monster Homage is on my list to.
I'm curious why Heimdallr wasn't mentioned at all? Are the other brands considered better value for the money on Seiko homages or something?
@@CydeWeys Maybe he have something against Heimdallr???
Sapphire, good finish, no alignment issues, around 150€. A no-brainer if you like the 2nd gen original.
Was I'm my home gym like, I normally watch jomw about now. Good timing
Love that the creator of Guanqin who started his brand in 8500, time travelled back to this time just to sell his watches. What a man!
Well after 2 years of watching your reviews you got me in the end Jody! I ordered a Pagani in the sale, it was delivered within 10 days, exactly as described and to be honest I'm glad I bought it. For the money it's bloody good! It's opened up a very economical route to collect more watches (not sure that's a good thing? 😂).
Anyway thanks for the reviews!
