BUDGET Yacht Master ALTERNATIVE?

[@sweetcorn1968]

My first Pagani was the V1 on the bracelet and I love it, even bought an aftermarket rubber strap. I love the look of this watch and it seems more than capable. It’s a great value watch.

[@shiznuts]

I have the OG stainless steel on a bracelet with ceramic bezel and it really launched my mechanical watch journey. Actually wondered about it the other day and looked it up in one of my watch boxes and wore it again for a day or two. Really great dimensions and look.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

How long have you had your V1 then?

[@Cronos4100]

How to know if v1 or v2

[@martinstorm9132]

I use this watch about two months now. I wear it every day. I can say that's a very reliable and good looking watch according to the price. Seiko NH-35 provides very good time keeping. The case is very solid, the crystal is still in tact without any tiny scratch. The rubber strap is awesome - even in very hot days. At the actual moment no any problem, no aby broken spring bars. According to the price this model and many other Pagani watches are impressive.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

It's good to hear that you are enjoying yours and that it's getting lots of wrist time too.

[@gorillasinthewrist]

It’s shiny shiny! I rather like this, not a fan of cyclops but at least it’s effective, a decent looking strap too, nice hardware. Not sure I would have bothered with a display case back, the nh35 is less a looker, more a work horse, but that’s a fairly minor niggle. Bargain at 90 squid. Good work

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I am with you there on the display caseback. I'd much prefer a nice solid caseback with some sort of design on it.

[@XjohnjohnX88]

I really hope Pagani will improve their lume. It would be great with good lume! I'm not a fan of this colour (rose gold), but I like this one. Definitely a beautiful watch. But come on Pagani, improve your lume! Thanks for the review mate 👍

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'm hoping with their new Ranger homage, that I've got on the way. That will have better lume 🤞

[@carycoller3140]

Mine was delivered yesterday. While I like the look and the quality, 40mm is just too small. I wish it was 42mm to 45mm.

[@philclinton9430]

IMO the black rubber/rose is the best execution of the PD Y-Master family, the second best being a two tone rose/steel version with the brownish colored dial.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah I think so too. Even though I wasn't sure at first.

[@markloubser2433]

I like the stainless version. Overall PD do offer excellent value for money. Here and there one may need to fettle a sharp edge or so but they tend to be a solid buy. The lume is not so important, btw I can read the time on my Airking at 3am in the dark.........

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah you can't argue with the value for money.

[@st4ndaman]

Thanks for the review. Is the strap FKM or silicon rubber?

[@meow7593]

If they made the pd 1651 n 1661 come with 300m WR, bgw9 and ar coating i wouldn't mind paying a little bit over 100usd honestly. Actually their tone of lume looks nicer tbh if they could increase its performance that'll be great

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah I've been saving that for a while too. I just don't think they'll do it though.

[@stavros_katsopr]

All right James, on previous model/review, studio has a wheel of a car as a back decor, now there are two plants (ok, and four (allowed??😋) photos of watches, placed in...order!)). What happened? Did you get married????? 😜😄 Cheers mate, be well always, enjoy whatever you love!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Hopefully the newer set up looks a bit more professional? The pictures of the watches are actually ones I took myself. The Mrs doesn't mind them, even though it's in the bedroom. I really wish I had a dedicated space to film though. Thanks. You too mate.

[@BCallum]

Thanks for the video. It is a great looking watch. Lume is always disappointing on PD watches. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah their lume is holding them back a bit now.

[@maljones.8737]

Why oh why have they got the text and the logo again.?doesn't look too bad on the bracelet though. Thanks JAMES

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I think this might be one of the last ones they use it on.

[@Me-pz5by]

So nice, sadly any watch without AR coating the crystal looks so grayish and can't enjoy the beauty of dial.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah some AR would have been nice.

[@angelherrera6820]

Not a fan but that doesn't mean it isn't a nice watch because it is. I'm sure this will sell loads. Great review. Cheers!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

It's definitely not going to be for everyone. It's not normally the kind of thing I'd go for, but it grew on me the more I wore it. Thanks 👍

[@23kulbir]

Is this with hydrolic lock

[@Trex100]

It is an attractive watch no doubt. I wonder if it is possible to just by the strap. It looks like good quality.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

That would be good.

[@coredog64]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a fitted rubber strap that works well with this model?

[@realfacthunt]

I wish they'd lose the 'Pagani Design' on their dials and just use the logo.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

They have started to do this on their newer models now.

[@rhodes1591]

ye, that's a looker !

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah it's not bad is it?

[@petermulhall2564]

They really slipped up by not making that strap integrated though didn't they🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah that was an odd choice.

[@iesahonselaar4775]

Is it with the rolex yacht master?

[@bepreparedforwhatscoming4975]

​@@iesahonselaar4775they have the same design

[@waris3732]

Man that crown is too big, just looks weird

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

You certainly don't have issues with the crown guards being in the way when trying to use it 😉

[@waris3732]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR yeah, I mean why do the crown guards even exist?🤦‍♂️😅

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@waris3732 I know right 😆

[@siimot]

Looks like the crown just hasn't been screwed back in to me.

[@Jikaninja]

Seriously, even Rolex is losing it’s interests from real watch enthusiasts…..Pagani Design needs to stop doing more Rolex homages…..can you hear” boring!”

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I know what you're saying.
