    Dear Sir
    Would you want to let Cadisen know that there's a QC issue on this model? The caseback has misspelled "crystal" as CRYTAL around the exhibition window.

      Hahahaha!!! I have the blue dial Cadisen day date, and the dial says 5atm, but the caseback says 10atm! Lol 😂 I just don’t understand how Cadisen can do such a monumental screw up like that with the dial. The dial should also say 10atm. Magnification is horrible, just like any watch Cadisen makes with a cyclops, but I still kept it because the blue is stunning in the day date version, and I got a good discount from Amazon

    Just got mine a couple of days ago. I bought it after watching this review (using your affiliate link, of course). I only paid 44€ for it in the end of summer sale, which is an absolute steal. I'm quite happy, although the watch isn't perfect. The good: I think they've updated this watch since you got it, because mine came with blue AR coating on the sapphire crystal, the "CRYTAL" has been corrected and the end links on my watch are a lot better than on yours. No gaps at all, they're quite a good fit to the case. There's also as good as no play in the butterfly clasp when the bracelet is closed. Like you, I'm also quite impressed with the comfort of the bracelet. Jubilee bracelets are my favorite, but more often than not, the bottom edges of the links are very rough, but Cadisen seems to have gotten them just right. And I love the dial, it really is beautiful. The not so good: the bracelet does feel a little cheap though, and there's a considerable gap between the end link and the first link, so it's very rattly. And the butterfly clasp hinges feel very delicate, I doubt that I'll be handing this watch down to my grandchildren. LOL The other two things that don't impress me much (but I knew about them before buying the watch thanks to your review): the crown which isn't screw-down. I'm not planning on swimming with this thing, but a screw-down crown just gives you a little more protection when you're washing your hands or getting caught in a downpour. And crap on a cracker, the rotor of the Miyota is freaking loud. At least it's quite accurate, at -3s/d. Thanks for the review, Steve!

    i need to get me a two tone braclet like that for my grandfathers watch he gave me before he passed away. its a super worn in seiko. it need a new crystal and braclet and i think it would be fine with just that. the day and date function is jammed but i dont want to replace the whole watch and lose the sentimental value.

      the Rmilati is also VERY good. it's nicer than the pagani and has a tone of dial options. obviously it's more expensive...but you get better lume, nicer build, nicer bracelet, nicer case and finishing, better crystal. it's just better. not that the Pagani is bad, but the Rimalti is very nice for the price.

    But I agree with you about the dimensions, it's perfect. And for the price, it's not a bad watch at all. Just I don't like it 🤷‍♂️😁
