Elegant, Meca-Quartz, and on a BUDGET?! $35 Pagani Design PD 1654 Cocktail Time homage review

[@polmacliam2444]

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and totally agree with your review, it's an eye catching time piece with amazing value for money!

[@ShinyThings]

@Pól Mac Liam, Thank you for sharing! Couldn't agree more! 🙂👍

[@mharto456]

Nice looking watch. I like that it has a Meca-quartz. But looks closer to a Rolex Cellini homage than a Seiko Cocktail Time

[@BigZsurfman]

Thinking of buying this one, good review. You should make a state of watch collection.

[@ShinyThings]

@Hannes, SOWC video is a good idea, added to the pipeline! 🙂👍

[@michaelssoftbinbows3237]

Fantastic watch and surprising accuracy. Only downside I found was the case back while easy to remove, is almost impossible to get back on. The 2 times I've had to change the battery the past 5 years, I've had to take it to a watch shop to get it put back on! Thankfully both times they never charged me.

[@steveseleucid3607]

I own this watch, and agree it's a good watch at a fantastic price. Maybe a bit too fancy for the office, but a perfect dress watch, with a great mechanism

[@ShinyThings]

@Steve Seleucid, Thank you for sharing! I agree PD did a pretty good job with this one! 🙂

[@jorgenavarro3622]

Lucky you. I bought one via Aliexpress and it arrived one week earlier. The problem was that after setting date and time, the machine just worked for 55 seconds and stopped. I changed the battery, and nothing changed. Finalley I Founf out the problem was the deffective assembly with the second hand. I notified the seller to be sure it is functioning properly in next sales and avoid complaints from customers

[@spgk6470]

Thats just perfect for me right now. I own a small collection of watches but no white dials or gold cases as i really don't know if i will like the style on me. A watch this elegant and with this price will be a perfect test mule for this purpose. The meca - quartz is a good bonus also.

[@remotecon1980]

Pretty sure the case is chrome plated alloy or I might already have bought. Still looks good when new...

[@ShinyThings]

@remotecon1980, you might be right, the finish looks a bit too perfect for Stainless Steel polish. Some listings and the back case confusingly state 'Stainless steel' though. The only way to find out for sure is to scratch it and see what's underneath 🙄🙂 Thank you for watching! 👍

[@Shura_Balaganoff]

Сase stainless steel or alloy?

[@odedkomy2300]

Thanks for the great review. Is the case made of stainless steel or alloy? After all it's a very light watch. Thanks :)

[@markdeitch3087]

Mine just arrived. £16 inc tax. Nice. I actually bought another as a gift! They can't make any money on that. The Cellini homage is sitting at £20.50 in my coins offers.....

[@jeancarlostashima8629]

Thanks

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

These are certainly good value for money. You can't really ask for more for the money.

[@ShinyThings]

@Honest Watch Reviews, Absolutely agree, hard to beat at this price! 🙂

[@karlsenula9495]

In my opinion both Pagani Design and Parnis as well as brands such as Cadisen and Starking are established enough with enough reviews and a good enough reputation that they should begin signing and stamping their warranty cards.

[@ShinyThings]

@Karl Senula, Absolutely agree! Usually, though it is the retailer, not the brand, or in this case the AliExpress seller should be taking care of the warranty card stamping and dating. Which they still don't 🙄 Thank you for watching! 🙂👍

[@toodyface]

Yeah, I have one of these, It's a very nice piece indeed. One of Pagani's better watches, as we know Pagani can be a little inconsistent with their watches and their QC. Thanks for the review. ❤🙏😸

[@watchreviews4k]

Interesting review. Regards.

[@ShinyThings]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davidtodd907]

i bought the black one and it was DOA when it arrived , and their customer service weren't interested. ..but hey that's Pagani for you.

[@jefersonpierim5163]

Toppp.. será que a caixa é de aço inoxidável??

[@vaasPF]

[@العالمالجديد-خ7ظ]

Pagani desing is verre good desing an pric beautiful wtch

[@stanleybarnes2030]

Good review thanks.

[@ShinyThings]

@Stanley Barnes, Glad you liked it! 🙂👍

[@coatonfire]

Has a very strong Zeppelin look to it. Color, design etc. It looks great but lacks the finesse of the Zeppelin ( i owe a Hindenburg). Still, Pagani has great value for your money.

[@ShinyThings]

@coatonfire , Zeppelin Hindenburg is one good-looking watch and I see what you mean: it does have a similar set of dimensions, and short lugs on a round case. But I think that's where the similarities kinda stop 😊 Zeppelin finishing is on a different level, also looks like Zeppelin tends to use Miyota 9000 series movements which is blooming lovely! 😊👌 Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

[@twitchyjambo]

Nice video 👍

[@idletime]

Wow & G'morning Bro 🤓 I'd say for what it has to offer, for what it is and for the price it's hard to go wrong with that one and I like it 😎

[@ShinyThings]

@Jim Loosli, Good Morning! 😊 Couldn't agree more!

[@idletime]

@@ShinyThings right? , and it's basically the same price as the Benyar Mecaquartz "Daytona" 😁
