Corgeut Vs Pagani Design PD-1701 V3 - Speedy Homage Showdown

[@WesWatchRoom]

Hey guys, what do you think, which is the better option? Also, just dropped some big news on the community tab if you haven't seen already. Thanks for the support guys.

[@stephanegauthier8895]

the corgeut is like the watch at walmart that we buy only for the look under the impustion of the moment. The mineral glass, the absence of pusher and crown protection and the butterfly buckle are not made to ensure a long life for this watch. The pagani is like a professional watch that you buy from a watchmaker. The whole watch is designed for durability and being used for real day after day on the job. If you just want a watch that looks like a speed, buy corgeut. If you want a real watch that you will wear 24 hours a day and that will follow you 7 days a week in all your activities for several years, this is the Pagani to buy.

[@WesWatchRoom]

The pagani is better but it's still flawed and likely to fail at some point. If you want real longevity without spending a fortune, Japanese is the way to go.

[@andre.bouchard]

I think its the third direct comparison video i see between those watches. Every time, at the start of the video the PD look way better but by the end of the video im convince the Corgeut is actually better even when its not the expressed opinion or conclusion of the reviewer. I certainly prefer a no date window for a start, even if it come with a ghost date. Congrats and good luck with the new job. Also, if yiu hasnt seen your email yet, this frog received his Tactical Frog and he's very happy about the product so far despite obvious flaws.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thank you mate, appreciate that and yeah both have their flaws and plus points but least they're affordable and with a strap swap, they'd be better

[@donaldoxley1222]

Wes, l must say, l far prefer the aluminum bezel insert to the ceramic, it's a better representation of the original. Hence, it would get my vote for the best of the two. Cheers.

[@WesWatchRoom]

That's fair, it certainly is closer to the original, appreciate you watching

[@MyAffordableWatchCollection]

Great comparison video Wes, I really enjoyed it!

[@WesWatchRoom]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much for watching

[@evcjackson]

I prefer the Corgeut overall based on price, comfort and lack of date. The crystal, while /only/ mineral, is excellent and the dodgy polished mid-links can be fixed with a light application of a green kitchen scourer.

[@WesWatchRoom]

It's a good choice and you're right, the bracelet is an easy fix if you know what to do. Thanks

[@czguy3045]

I prefer the Pagani for sure. I do prefer the look of the pushers on the Corgeut and you seem to feel they work a bit better. Other than that, I think the Pagani is superior in basically every way. I have a Speedmaster though not exactly the same as the Pagani and they feel very similar on wrist. Obviously the bracelet is much better on the Omega, though I wear it on a leather strap. The pushers feel radically better on the Omega. Basically when interacting with the watches, Omega is easily much better but on wrist... I dunno. If I had a few drinks the night before and had to get up after only four hours of sleep... they are pretty similar.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks for the insight, would love a proper omega but don't fancy parting with that kind of money.

[@JimIBobIJones]

Either is probably a better option than the Moonswatch tbh.

[@WesWatchRoom]

They're both definitely better built. Thanks

[@robberlin2230]

Surely the pagani

[@WesWatchRoom]

I guess you'll have to see at the end. Thanks for watching

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

I’m so tempted to pick one of these up and put it on a Artem strap

[@WesWatchRoom]

The Pagani would probably look really good on an artem. Thanks for watching

[@WATCHingJames]

Great to see these two side by side.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Cheers mate, appreciate you watching

[@brianmsahin]

Excellent comparison Wes, I was waiting for this. Honestly, you convinced me that I don't want either of them. Lol. I imagine the Pagani is a shade better, though if you swap bracelets for a nice James Bond black/grey Nato on both, it could bring the score to even. I think now that the Pulsar Solar Chrono I just got, is better than both of them, but of course it wouldn't be confused with the original Speedy. I do believe that anyone who wants that exact look either of them will do the job though I prefer the Corgeut brand name on the Pagani as I'm a date guy! Either way, both are better than the pos Moonswatch.....personal experience, it's trash.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks very much mate and I get that, both have their flaws. I've noted the pulsar you mentioned and I'll see if I can find one. And yes, they're definitely better value than the swatch

[@MirrlyonTime]

Definitely have to give pagani the edge but to be fair I haven’t had corgeut in hand but even from the stock images online I could tell the build quality was better with the pagani. Pagani def the winner great vid as always!

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks mate and it's definitely a solid watch but that bracelet does need some work. Have a great weekend

[@stalkingwatcheschannel]

Great comparison mate! There is nothing wrong with Corgeut, if it is one of the watches in rotation; else I would go for the Pagani all-day!

[@WesWatchRoom]

Well said! and thanks mate, appreciate that

[@nigelbowler1601]

HI own several Pagani homages and found them okay but on this occasion, the Gorgeut vintage look is the better option aluminum bezel & dial. PAGANI does a snoopy version which looks fab personal preference, keep up your good reviews all the best.

[@pcstudios3]

Corgeut is better by far!!! love it

[@WesWatchRoom]

It is a very good choice for the price

[@mmmmmmm3246]

My Courgeut broke after a few months and now costs more to fix than it was to purchase. Such a damn shame, it was actually a really nice watch

[@WesWatchRoom]

That really does suck, but it is one of the drawbacks of these watches unfortunately. Thanks for watching

[@AlexanderB.]

While the Pagani's bracelet may have its weakness, the Corgeut's bracelet is an outright eyesore! Plus the Corgeut has puny hands.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Yeah it's definitely not a looker but it's quite comfortable. The hands definitely do need thickening up. Cheers

[@khonjel_singh]

Great comparison. Just what I was looking for. Recently had a craving for moonwatch and tried looking for best homages in a budget. I'd prefer Corgeut for its lower price but I don't think I can stand that horn-lookalike pushers. They stick out too much like shrek's ears or sth lmao. But then again Pagani costs $30 more even with all the discounts. Our currency recently fell off against USD so the price difference is even more pronounced now. Especially with Pagani's middling QC for its price. Decisions! Decisions!!

[@feastoneseyesongoodies]

Hi Wes, my vote goes to Pagani. I have done a few reviews on Pagani and the ones I reviewed have a good feel to them. Kind regards James.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks for watching mate and it's a solid watch but definitely flawed too.

[@SteveFWatches]

Will have to go with the Pagani on this one

[@WesWatchRoom]

Both are great options for the price. Thanks

[@cbody70]

Thanks for the informative comparison. Hard to tell from the video and it might be my imagination but the Pagani appears a bit on the large size. Weren't the original Speedies under 40mm?

[@WesWatchRoom]

I have reviews on both if you're interested in seeing the full specs and sizes etc, but the original does have a reduced version and the full size professional is 40mm+ I think

[@khonjel_singh]

Hey Wes! I just found out Bliger updated their Speedmaster homage with VK63 (instead of the previous NN3836). The pushers don't jot out like Shrek's ears in Corgeut and their new logo looks great imo. Plus it's cheap af. Waffle strap version is just $49 on my end. Only shame is they got rid of the tintin dial. Check it out yeah?

[@DanRC69]

For a very similar design, I'd choose the Casio EFR-526D-1AVUEF, as at least the quality will be a LOT more consistent and definitely a lot more reliable than both of these.

[@brianmsahin]

First thing I did Dan was look at that watch! And while it's not got a tachymeter bezel the look is quite similar, it's a great brand, high quality and price is pretty good. But if someone wants the classic Speedy look it's not quite there. Hands down though, you're right. For a good tachymeter bezel type , the one I just got a Pulsar Solar Chronograph PZ5115X for a similar price is also a good option. Hard to get unfortunately, I got mine from a Seiko Pulsar store in Japan, but there are similar ones available with different dials, some closer to the speedy. I'd probably go for the Casio or the Pulsar over these two. Good comparison by Wes, both of these seem to have a couple of issues.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Never seen that one, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the suggestion

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@brianmsahin thanks mate and I'll definitely take a look at the pulsar you suggested too

[@brianmsahin]

@@WesWatchRoom Just be aware Wes, the Pulsar I have the big centre seconds hand is the watch seconds hand and the Chrono hand is on one of the subdials!! Some don't like that setup! There are Pulsars with the big hand as the Chrono hand, but not sure which ones!!

[@watchsixto]

They both look good not exactly what there homage but for the price can't go wrong

[@WesWatchRoom]

100% mate, definitely can't go too far wrong with either. Thanks and have a good one

[@watchsixto]

@@WesWatchRoom you do the same Wes

[@MrAl67]

The bracelet on the PD should sold as a weapon. It will slice and rip your arm up. The head of the piece is excellent though. I put it on a fabric strap with a clasp, and it’s great.

[@WesWatchRoom]

It's definitely a lot rougher on the edge than most I've seen. An aftermarket is definitely the best fix. Thanks

[@scatterbrain9490]

I like them both and I love putting straps on when I can

[@WesWatchRoom]

They both need it, neither bracelet is great. Thanks

[@OJames1138]

I prefer the silver writing on the Corgeut bezel. Makes the watch appear (to me) a bit more trusty and vintage.

[@BanksSteven]

I have the same Corgeut. The issue myself and a couple of others have had is a milky haze in the crystal. Originally, I thought the paint on the dial must be gassing off and causing it. A few of us on r/ChineseWatches think it's some kind of overspray that got on the underside of the crystal. The thing is, you can only see the haze when viewed at a steep angle. Anyway, I've taken it apart twice to clean that haze off, the last time I cleaned it with naphtha then isopropyl alcohol. I then treated the inside with a ceramic car product. I really want to just swap the whole damn crystal out, I need to find what the dimensions of it are. I like the looks better than the PD, but I wouldn't buy a Corgeut again. It hasn't happened to me, but this model is notorious for the second hand flying off when resetting after a timing event.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Didn't know the hands flew off, that's never happened to me either, shame about the crystal. You might want to contact Corgeut directly or the seller and see if you can find out the size for a replacement. Cheers

[@watchalot919]

Aesthetics the same. Prefer the bracelet on the Pagani. Thanks Wes

[@WesWatchRoom]

I prefer the look of it, the quality is a bit hit and miss. Cheers

[@philipoulton7730]

My score----> Pagani 60 Courget: 55. The band on the Pag is like the original. The Corg band is bogus AF. I have neither, but ceramic+sapphire versus aluminum and mineral is a massive difference in quality and explains the price gap. . Not to mention that the Corg just looks bad overall.

[@albertkc2007]

Does the Corgeut’s bezel rotate?

[@WesWatchRoom]

It does not. Thanks

[@goingcrazy00]

The corgeut looks a little more like a tag than an omega.

[@appleman29]

you should compare the new version of the Pagani with the corgeut. The new models have no date

[@WesWatchRoom]

Good shout, may do that at some point. Cheers

[@johng8018]

I have a small wrist. So for wearability and comfort I could not favour the PD.

[@WesWatchRoom]

It would be good, you just need to swap out the bracelet. Thanks

[@jeremy67A]

The Corgeut is waaaaay better build quality than the Pagani.... LoL, no contest

[@suheilkaspar8885]

You're wrong, in any case, a Date Window adds in looks and utility to the watch !.. For me, any watch without a date window is GARBAGE !.. Also the Pagani has ticker and longer hands which is better! The other one in my opinion is worthless with those hideous necked push buttons and no date ...
