I have this one myself and love it. Really good all around quality with no weaknesses to prevent it from being a reliable, everyday, dependable watch (though I can't really tell what's premium about it, as my other Paganis are very cose in quality). I did have to adjust the movement to keep it from running slow, but that's easy to do. It's good enough to make me wonder how Rolex gets $8k for theirs.
I have this watch and think it is amazing value for the spec and quality. I have 4 Pagani watches and all are excellent. Many people have complained about QC issues but I have not had any. The only disappointment is the lume which is worse than the 007 Seamaster homage.
I have this and I'm pleased to say mine is the Gen 2. It is one of my favourites too. The clasp is also the same as the BB58 homage from Pagani, it works fine 99% of the time but occasionally sticks, which requires a little jiggle to get it to release. Overall, this one is a great piece which I personally am more than happy with. Don't worry if you didn't receive the free NATO band and have wrist larger than 7" as it is really small. Great video as always :)
I recently bought the white dial V2 (second version) of this watch, with screw down crown, larger handset (all 4 of them), and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The fit and finish of the case and bracelet is immaculate, as is the timekeeping. The quality is a step above my previously purchased Pagani GMT with pepsi bezel, although that too is functioning well. Although I prefer the double pusher clasp on the Explorer II to the fold-over safety type clasp on the GMT, I really wish Pagani had included the GMT's small fold-out clasp extension (to accommodate wrist swelling on hot days) instead of the useless large diver's extension. This really is my only niggle with the Explorer II, apart from the use of blue lume which although better than on my GMT, could be better still if it was green (easier to see in my opinion), and longer lasting. However, when you consider the Explorer II cost me only US$105 from the Pagani official Store on AliExpress (after discounts), you have to admit it's a tremendous amount of bang for your buck.
Just brought V2 of this watch white face, very happy with it for the price, looks the part and keeps good time, I have paid $1000's more for watches that have not been as good.
They had a bit of a rough transition, but it looks like PD are starting to actually produce a premium product. If they can keep up the quality control within and across their model lineup, then I think they are worth the extra money. They have positioned themselves above Cadisen, Bliger, Phylida (except for the PT5000 models) and below Cronos and San Martin. I think that is a good place to be, especially if they offer unique models that don’t directly compete with Heimdallr and Merkur in that space. Again, I just need to be convinced that they can produce consistently good products.
I have the MkII and the crown is very difficult to grip to screw out also it is fiddly to get the 1 and two positions. The hacking is good and the GMT position is easy to set . One is suppose to be able to hand wind it but, as mentioned above, the difficulty in gripping the crown makes this very difficult . Over all it is a fantastic homage watch with high accuracy and attention to detail
Excellent review, not a bad watch. I'm always afraid to buy an AE watch with a cyclops! I don't mind the magnification level, it's worry about the alignment that stops me!
I have several Pagani Design watches. I think that they are great value. I'd be happy to pay the extra for the improved level of quality. To be honest, if the watches I already have cost $120-140 I would still have bought them. After all, this is, for many people tiny money. So, great value, good looking watch. I won't buy this one, not my style, but look forward to future releases at this price level.
I have a couple of Pagani Design watches and the quality control issues I had in my watches, specially bezel backplate and misalignment, always made me question if I ever would buy another one of their watches If they increase their quality and the cost does not skyrocket I will give them another try soon
It's a tough one. If it were 40mm I would buy immediately. I think Pagani watches should stay below $100. If you need a higher grade watch you have San Martin, Heimdallr & Lobinni. I currently own two Pagani watches and they are good but I wear my Loreo more.
It's an attractive watch but at the end of the day a homage. No offense but a small number of homages total the value of an original brand design which will ultimately keep a better pre-owned value. We watch enthousiasts, altho should buy what we like, need to consider the case of selling one to finance the next. Thanks for one more well worded and presented review.
Pagani Design is still value for money for those series that are ard US$100. As for the higher price point models, it is definitely not worthy but I think the brand is heading that direction. Sad news for its fans.

Hi.
It’s a very nice Homage, but I do believe the Steeldive version is slightly better.
All the best👍🏾🇬🇧

Thx for great review. I think it is worth couple $$ more, but there is still some space for improvement.
I think they did a good job for the price! Have V2 white :)
Im scared to wear my patek Philippe nautilus so my wife got me the pagani hommage for every day wear 😂 the tiffany blue is lovely
How do you change the strap on this one? The tool doesn’t fit in the small space
I was expecting to hear "Dmitry, where is my money" with a stronger accent :) thanks for review
Disponibilizar a legenda por favor!!

Beatifull watch good video
Been reading about an upgraded V2. Can anyone clarify what they changed with the V2?
I think the screw down crown, slightly longer hands.
I have spent tons of money recently and just grabbed the Pagani Daytona Panda homage... But I think I need this one also
It is a nice watch. I would strongly recommend to go for NH34 movement version though. Good luck and thank you for watching! 🙂👍
100-105 dollars would have been a bargain.

Specifications mean very little when the execution is so poor. I have had terrible luck with Pagani design watches.
The ones they send to reviewers are always good, aren't they? Easy to understand why. QC is what keeps me away from these watches
Well they should have gone for 40mm, I'm not buying just becouse size
Pagani Design Made a better job with the submariner Homage
Pagani Design is still value for money for those series that are ard US$100. As for the higher price point models, it is definitely not worthy but I think the brand is heading that direction. Sad news for its fans.
I’m warming to it
Fixed bezel on a GMT? Is the Rolex fixed? Renders the GMT much less effective.... I live Pagani. Why fixed...?
The gmt hand moves, you set it to the 24h time of the time zone you want to 'see'. Why would you rotate the bezel?
I would buy it in a flash if it was 44mm. My aging eyes will thank me.
