Appreciate your well thought out reviews. I just received and unboxed my own Pagani Chrono today. I must say, it arrived absolutely flawless. Absolutely no complaints. The weight of this watch (128 grams sized) almost disappears on my wrist as if "I" were made for the watch instead of the other way around. The finish is meticulously done. The crown and other buttons are as smooth as butter, more so than my 27 year old Rolex Datejust (yeah, I'm also shocked). This watch may very well replace my Rollie (gonna give it to my son soon). And no, Pagani is not paying me to lavish this watch with compliments, even though I wish they would, lol. At less than 1/200th of the cost of a used Rolex Daytona, this one'll do just fine. I'm beyond the age of having to impress anyone other than myself, and Pagani has done just that. Color me happy.
i'm beyond the age of having to impress anyone other than myself 🤙
I’ve purchased several Pagani Timepieces, Mechanical and Quartz.. Fine Quality, accurate, comfortable, and great value for the Price! The hands land directly on the indices. To adjust links I was very impressed that Pagani used Screws! Quality! I will purchase more! I even Purchased 2 as gifts and they love them! Thank You Pagani for wonderful Products!
@Gary G Garner, Pagani Design does indeed manage to deliver maximum value for the price. I am always looking forward to their new releases! 🙂👍
Your reviews are always full & excellent ! The BEST !!
I just recieved mine and i gotta say im impressed with its looks, style and everything to be honest. It sure is a show stopper in my books. I will say i actually purchased this watch based on your positive review so thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
I've bought a 1661 for 70 usd while in china, after watching your review. Really good value for money. Thanks man
I purchased mine a several months ago and so far I very satisfied with the watch and the service from Aliexpress.
Have the 1644 and the 1727... both are incredible watches....
from Spain
I waited a year for PD to work out the bugs on this model and finally got one. I'm glad I did because the one I ordered is damn near perfect. The bracelet is good on mine but I usually wear it on a black seatbelt nato. I'm now waiting to order the GMT or Explorer model.
Cyanide and Happiness fan I see
Received mine today, Oct 18_2022. Seems perfect. No complaints. Had to remove all four of the removable links to fit my 6-3/4 inch wrist. Was surprised to see a fabric strap included although I am happy with the bracelet and have no intention of using the fabric strap.
Still bought one and I love it!! The bracelet issues is non issue for me. I can easily replace it anyways.
Thanks 😇 . I appreciate all your hard work and I really enjoy the channel. I recently ordered a Sanda 390 all metal G-Shock Style watch thanks to the my affordable watch collection Channel as well as an Addies non tritium tritium but thanks to your suggestion I also ordered a khaki NATO and a black NATO to go with it, thanks. Also you can order the Benyar "Daytona" from AliExpress for less than half the price of the Pagani and it's made by the same company that makes Pagani with the exact same specs including sapphire glass for >$40 😇
Got a white dial one recently (March sale - 2022) My clasp isn't as wobbly as this. Still has the sharp edges though. Wearing it on a white Barton's silicone band atm. Really pops on the wrist. Crazy specs and looks for the price.
Already own the Pepsi GMT and I Love it, despite the quality control issues, with mine screw spring bar thing fell out twice and second time the Watch fell on a hard floor, lucky no damage and the Cyclops being a hair out of line.
This Chronograph is next on my wish list, the amount of watch for the money is worth it, even though you are playing the lottery in regards to QC.
Peace Out.
A new Subscriber.
Very thorough objective reviews, earned yourself a sub!
Very cool watch great value.I switched mine to a black leather dress strap quite an elegant look!
I just got my pd 1644 delivered yesterday,and I had one hell of a time trying to size the bracelet as the screws were so hard to turn that I stripped the head of the screw in one of the links rendering the rest of the bracelet useless., ! But I blame myself not pagani! Fortunately I had the perfect nato to put on it as it matched the gold/brown color of the watch and actually looks better!but the rest of the watch is very attractive and I’m very happy with it!
Have had my watch for two months and counting, it has gained 1 sec by my "atomic clock", and that is remerkable for acuracy. Registration of face to dial is superior to watches costing 3X considering the watch has 4 dial faces. My only fault would be minute tick marks are needed on the cronograph hour dial. Would make far more functional for scoreing sailing events. I think this watch is a great buy.
Thank you for this. I just placed an order and was looking for a review like this.
I replaced the bracelet for a leather nato strap, really works nice and looks awesome.
I have this one too PD make good stuff. I like that Pagani are both a homage watch company but finding their own feet as they go.
Great VFM and God bless PD for giving ordinary people this look for a fraction of the price!😂 Seriously though, it is fantastic for the price.
Good review of an excellent value-for-money PD. Sure, they will NEVER be perfect, but for the money they are hard to beat. As you can see from the comments on any of your PD reviews, QC issues aren't that uncommon, but more often than not you get a great spec watch for very little money.
I bought a blue/silver dial version, which looks fantastic (the subdials actually are more of a purple colour). No issues to date with the bracelet, it seems a bit tighter than the one you have. Ordered a black/rosegold dial with a rubber strap on 9/11 sale, so am looking forward to that (Ali freepost to where I live is free, but it usually takes 2-3 MONTHS for anything to arrive!) The green bezel one also looks pretty cool. Keep up the great reviews. Cheers from NZ in the south pacific! (yes, it's at the bottom of the world, but we DO get the internet).
@Graham Young, Thank you for sharing! 🙂 I meant to reply, but lost your comment among the others - YT commenting system is not the best :-) I know that NZ has internet btw, I visited some time ago! 🙂 Auckland is one of my favorite cities, I think it is really great! 🙂 I know that the rest of NZ might not agree 😁 Thank you for watching!
Ordered one of these a few days back. Im gonna ditch the bracelet for a Le Mans style leather strap and enjoy the retro vibe.
Have two. Black and white dials. The watches have been fine, but both bracelets broke rather quickly.
Looks like a pretty good watch to be honest
I've never been a big fan of multi dial watches but that one is very nice looking.
i'm beyond the age of having to impress anyone other than myself
it's an incredible homage. i have the all black and i love it. I'm not the biggest fan of the panda, but its growing on me. my favourite is the all stainless with white dial (no black) hoping PD release that! what a watch though! and feels soo light on the wrist even with a 3-link bracelet. Also, I have to say I wish there were more quartz options for these spec monster homages, I'm not too bothered about automatic when they are SO inaccurate/unpredictable on the cheaper chinese ones. i love the fact it's a quartz
Hello everyone,
Ive had this watch for a year and everything except for the bracelet is still in perfect condition.
Ive had a Rolex Sub for 6months now and scratched the bracelet to pieces. Just daily wear. So I don’t think it matters on the price. You will always have scratches if you love and wear your watch often.
Great review, I think it is a must that the Chinese homages have a 6-12 month review. My PD 1639 movement is playing up after 6 months so this no fuss quartz will be on the 11 November shopping list👍
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great review. I have this one and I just bought the Blacked out and rainbow one too. Very good watches for the price. Just subbed you.
I bought the Richard Mille homage strap and a Richard Mille homage deployant buckle for mine. I've had both for about 6 months and they're perfect for this setup.
I have mine on a Marathon red rubber strap. The red strap ties in with red “Sport” text on the dial. Nice combo.
Thanks for sharing! I ordered a black one sometime ago (still waiting) but red one sounds like an interesting choice.
I changed my clasp for a glidelock type and it feels absolutely great
Oh yes, switching out the clasp improves the feel so much!
I own the example with the silvery 'Meteor Dial'. I love the textured look but reduced contrast between the face face and the hands means reduced legibility. I often have to look at the watch a little longer than just a glance to tell the time. Not that much of a hardship. It's very pretty. I'm not a fan of the clasp. It is a bit awkward to open. I'd prefer side pushers. The lume is hopeless but I was expecting that from reviews. Finally, I bought mine for approx. £35 GBP (incl. Taxes and Shipping). It's really hard to complain about anything at that bargain price...
Yes. The minute subdial is not easy to read correctly! When I use this chronograph during driving, I easily make errors. I need to use a magnification tool to check the minutes, after I stop the car.
I replaced the bracelet with leather for comfort, as the metal bracelets usually pull the hair on my arm.
Nice watch and I purchased one. Love it so far.
But how is the right 24 hour dial work? And it’s purpose?
Thanks for the great review
Very Good👍
I HAVNT WORN MINE FULL TIME LIKE YOU HAVE. BUT I HAVE TO SAY ITS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH AND I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I PREFER THEESE PAGANINI CLASPS.
Thanks. Six months seems to be how long mine will take to get here.
@Sam did you order from USA? I know it takes about one to one and a half week for orders from Spain or the Czech Republic to reach the UK or Germany. It would be interesting to know how long it takes for US orders shipped from US. I am making an assumption here that you are based in US though, forgive me if this is not the case 🙂👍
amazing videos love u bro
I just bought one of those on ebay for €58 very good value
I've had mine for just a few days, and my primary issue is the clasp extension--mine simply will not release. No doubt I could force it heavy duty tools, but that would risk damage. I'm pretty sure this would get easier with repeated operation, but does anyone have any suggestions how do get it to release that first time?
Great video review. Very thorough and informative. I bought this watch and like it. No problems encountered with my watch so far. Great value for the price.
@Traveller6888, Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍
I've been wearing a PD watch on the same bracelet without incident for over a year.
Awesome watches I think nearly everyone swaps the straps,ime not a lover of metal straps as it is I swapped both of mines there's loads of strap choices on Amazon,
Currently ~ $40.00 on Ali. I snagged one.😁
Thank you for your review and thank you for the tip of another bracelet
Glad it was helpful! 🙂👍
@@ShinyThings It has not have been yet, but i 'm not satisfied with Paganini bracelets and you will be very helpfull in a next futur. What a about a spécial focus on bracelets and other pièces to change ?
When's Ed I get a chronograph watch, I usually get a rallye strap for it to give it that vintage motorsport vibe.
The rallye strap is an excellent call.
Pagani is good value for money. Yes, their designs are not original, yes, their movements are robust, yes, their lume is underwhelming, but it is hard to find a watch that does the important things right for that price. I started with the PD1701 as I was not too eager to spend 2 1/2 times the price of the Pagani Speedy for a Swatch x Omega Moonswatch plastic thingamading and I never looked back. I now have 15 Paganis, all bought for sub 100 Euros and I could not be happier. No duds, all good and I wonder, why I should pay more for a decent watch.
I have one with the jubilee bracelet I love it,I also have a Speedy and a Newman.Each are Excellent, I really enjoy them all. Q C at Pagani is doing great and the Price O M G $72 delivered to USA from China You gotta be kidding! Great deal for these with seiko machines.
Thanks for sharing!!
Imma probably get a red leather racing strap a nato and maybe a new clasp for the bracelet
Your complaints regarding this watch are the same as mine. The case itself is ok but the bracelet is where they cut corners. The sharp edges and very loose clasp are my main issues here. The stainless steel on the clasp also scratches very easily so I don't think it's made of exactly the same stainless steel as the one used on the case, which seems to be more scratch-resistant.
Love this watch, went for the benyar version instead as it's just to be worn at work.
What is the benyar one?
What's the difference?
Great review, thanks
Thank you for watching!
Good review. I put mine on an inexpensive Barton brown leather strap within a week of getting it.
Thank you for sharing! I've seen quite a big selection of Barton straps on Amazon UK. Seams like a good option that doesn't break the bank and has a solid brand name behind it. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Does it come with an additional band ?
I can confirm the chronograph STOPS timing at exactly 60 minutes. It's as if you pressed the Reset button.
Maybe they can reprogram it to just keep going, and let you figure out how many hours have passed on top of the minutes and seconds?
keep doing this good work
Can a wrist size of 6.5 wear this watch with the given micro adjustment option? Thank you.
Honestly this is the hardest to tell apart from far away cause the Daytona has so much thing going on with the dial
I bought one of these and after a month of use the bezel came off, then I tried to put it back but it's still loose.. I don't know what to do to fix it
My 1644 watch was DOA, chrono stopped working after 30 mins use.
Bought mine from Ali Express Summer sale and it's going through customs as I write. Very excited about this purchase.
Does this PD Daytona model has a few generations? I mean year of assemble. And are there any real differences between them?
Re the shinny bracelet: I would brush it with scotch-brite.
Got mine on a rubber 😜👍
Can one set or reset the 24 hour sub-dial ?
Is the lumen enough to see the time in night
Pagani appears from nowhere churns out unbelievable time peace’s at ridiculously low prices today, and back then I go home from work and walk into a jewellery shop and hand over hundreds for a TAG Heuer F1, and over the course of 20 years has had more trips to Switzerland at over £300 a trip than is necessary, and now, TAG Heuer is on permanent vacation, Pagani has replaced it. That will do me!
If I start the sweeping second hand, is there a time limit when it automatically stops/resets, or it will run "forever" until the battery is dead?
I dont care if I have to change the battery more frequently, but I would love to run it sweeping all the time without stop.
Can somebody tell me if it is possible, or the watch will automatically stop sweeping after a time?
I'm confused about it a bit.
Thanks:)
Congrats for mentioning the lack of minute markers on the chronograph minute dial. That's even worse than sixty minute dials that are too fine to read. Almost no reviews of chronographs include timing anything. It's also nice to have fifths of a second. Full or quarters are not quite enough.
Cera-chrome... I haven’t heard of those before🧐
How about 'oystersteel'? 🙂 Rolex likes to invent names for their materials :-)
I wish it didn’t have a date and ‘Pagani design’ but not bad overall
Good Cool
Trying to find someone who can tell me how to remove the bracelet off the pagani, I have a tool kit but don’t see how to remove it
No alarm?....very nice though...
I lost the bezel from mine and Pagani would not reply to any of my emails for a peplacement. I tried other bezels but none fit.
I have 5 Pagani Design watches. I really like them but I won't be buying any more because I'm tiring of the 40mm cases. I prefer 42mm to 45mm cases. I'd buy only Pagani Design watches if they were bigger.
Even with the 100m water resistance, I don't swim with a watch, unless I am rescuing a person in the water.
I have a problem with this watch, where the seconds indicator works for one hour and then stops to know how to fix it؟؟؟
Please if someone knows the solution, tell me
Put it on a Rally Band
Just picked one up for $56.
Benyar 5169 still working?
So, in your opinion, is it still the best value 6 months on?
FYI I wear it on the supplied bracelet .. but with 20 watches i do not wear it everyday which will of course extend it's life. Also as a side not i have had a few people actually wearing Rolex's say 'nice watch' which in my opinion vouches for the initial look and impression it gives off.
Thank you for sharing! 🙂 And, Yes, definitely still a great value 🙂 I might get a second one with 100m WR. Parnis is a very close contender and has some interesting dial colour options, but no screw-down crown, and I personally prefer Pagani's dial wording and logo on this watch. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@ShinyThings I did consider the Parnis but the better clasp, better stated water resistance and the Pagani dial design, which I liked better, tipped the balance in favor of the Pagani for me ... Fyi my Pagani is the 100m water resistance version.
Shiny things The one I just purchased is the 100m and has a screw down crown.
The watch is not rubbish. However, it only counts to 60 minutes.
I own a Benyar BY-5152 and for the price point for $35 even if it does have mineral glass you can't beat it and it's a beautiful watch so much so my girlfriend even says it's real sexy and she thinks I'm nuts for buying watches
@Jim Loosli, it is much easier to create review videos than to convince my better half that watch collecting is a worthwhile hobby 😄 As for Benyar BY-5152: it seems like a great value, I am not sure if they use Seiko movement though, but if they do - than it is really a value packed item! 🙂👍
@@ShinyThings Ha ha, its all good 😇 . The Benyar is listed as having the NH35 movement. Not one of the saicos Dust movements but generally a good solid reliable one although you occasionally get a finicky one but that's the way it goes with most anything these days 😋
if the bezel didn't say 'TIT' on it, I would be buying this 😂😂
Can someone tell me why the second hand doesn’t keep running but stops and the time doesn’t ? I can’t find the information anywhere. I just want the second hand to keep running and not stop
If you are referring to the big hand that doesn't move, it's the seconds for the chronograph. The little dial at the bottom is the seconds for the time.
Unless it's and expensive divers watch or a watch made for water you should take it of. Its a piece of costume jewellery really.
These are great watches. I ended up buying a different clasp (glidelock style) for mine. Which in my opinion completes the watch. It wasn't very expensive either. If your interested, checkout my review.
I am thinking of getting a glidelock one as well. I will definitely check the review. Thanks! 🙂👍
Legibility is a 2/10 lol. I like this watch, but man, you can't use it to tell the time.
Wait till you see the 1689
Great review, but I would point out one thing: it doesn't matter that the watch lacks of single minute elapsed markings. You say you wouldn't use this for professional timing, but then, nobody currently uses a watch to seriously and professionally time sporting events. It's all lasers and digits now.
That should have read "minute dial" not hour dial.
Is it suitable for swimming?
@Aaron Hendrix, with declared 100m of water resistance technically yes. However, I personally try to avoid swimming while wearing the chronographs. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Just got one in the post today, I need a screwdriver to open the second part of the clasp, cheap design.
Not much point in having a divers watch if you can’t go swimming it with it !
I wished it was autocratic 😣
