I bought this NH34 version of this watch during the 11/11 sale for $114 USD. I previously had the old version with the Pearl movement which was junk. I'm probably done with Pagani but my copy has only a slightly light bezel action which is acceptable, but does have the gritty crown. I need to use dental floss on the crown threads again to smooth it. The lume on mine initially fades quickly like on most watches but is still readable after 5 or 6 hours at night. The Seiko movement is the star though as this one runs very accurately. This watch does wear nicely but I'm done with Pagani and willing to pay the higher price for San Martin level QC. Thanks again for the review.

[@MirrlyonTime]

I hear ya Larry! Disappointing to hear about the bezel action because I have other pagani wirh the same case and bezel and the action on them is good, mine is also too loose. Regarding San martin check out my latest video and comment thread on it. San martin isn’t perfect either when it comes to qc and the customer service is deplorable if you do have an issue I’m doing a follow up video about it and their response to my video

[@larrydalton2205]

@MirrlyonTime the bezel on my Pagani is only slightly loose but still acceptable. I have several San Martin watches and all are excellent, but perfect, but easy better than any Seiko I have.

[@WatchtheTime]

I featured the original of this watch with the Pearl movement but I completely agree with you, the NH34 is a great upgrade. Good work my man 👍👍

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thanks Simon. Too bad they don’t settle up with some of their other quirks and I was shocked to see this went up to 250 dollars or so, a jump way up since the sale

[@DavidSchwartzjr]

Man, love them or hate them, PD is constantly putting out new stuff quickly! Okay I’ll give thoughts after finishing the vid! 😎👍

[@DavidSchwartzjr]

Bummer on the bezel action and crown but the look and date magnification are on point. Cheers brother! 😎🍻🙌

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thanks for checking it out David! And that clasp, they gotta change up that clasp

[@DavidSchwartzjr]

@@MirrlyonTime 💯 man, they are a pain in the ass to adjust! 😫

[@WATCHingJames]

I am tempted by this one too. The usual PD issues. But as you say having the NH34 is nice

[@MirrlyonTime]

I am really enjoying this one and expected to have minor things, just wish pagani would step up their game and solve all these minor things and they would have a real winning streak

[@HuggyWuggy91]

My only issue in PD is sharp edges on jubilee on batgirl, so i bought batman oyster, great no issue at all, so don't hesitate to buy PD worth it for less than $100 just for daily use. 👍👍👍

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@HuggyWuggy91 how is the bezel Action on yours? Pagani does have inconsistent bezel actions

[@WatchWitt]

Good looking Pagani! I like that jubilee bracelet too. You had me with the lume…it looked SO crisp and bright at fire up!!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yeah by the naked eye they are getting a little better but still disappointing over all, they seem to be doing this neat trick of putting more lume on the hour markers/indices then they do the hour and minute hand. I mean, come on, put the more in the more important stuff if you are gunna do anything right lol

[@jesuscorrea5513]

I have been paying attention to alot of these. Im a novice and More of an Eco Drive Wearer. I am looking into these for modding and time burning. thanks for the thorough review. PD is lower than when you recorded the video, I think its due to competition from the other homage makers.

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@jesuscorrea5513 would be a great watch to fidget with for sure as you wouldn’t overly mind mistakes on a watch like this. Eco drives are awesome! The prices on these fluctuate all the time and should be lower given the watch is a couple years old and the nh gmt movement is now in a boat load of gmts def more expensive when the movement first came out.

Hi Chris, thanks for another great review. I appreciate your honesty and bringing up both the pros and the cons. You’re dead right about the clasp…those internal micro adjustments are the worst!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thank you Hoby! Appreciate you watching and your encouragement!

[@migfed]

Honestly I hope Steeldive decide to manufacture a Seiko SKX GMT homage. Pagani comes with several compromises as Lumme and bracelet issues as you show us. I recently bought a PD Omega Speedmaster homage, but the bracelet it came with was useless because it had not enough links to remove, so it was hopeless with my 6,5 inch wrist. This kind of QC issues are quite difficult to understand with this quite well established brand.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yeah the issues are mostly forgiveable but can definitely be very very annoying.

[@darkchocolate4643]

Looks like your wish has been granted :)

[@watchsixto]

That's crazy Chris I'd didn't think I would have ever thought you would say that you won't buy any more Pagani Design.

[@rodgilbert894]

I got a PD-1662 Pepsi with a chinese (DG3804 GMT?), and it does not work any more-the stem started feeling rough, and now it only runs for a few seconds, and the stem does nothing-can't set the time or even screw it down all the way. Bought it in June of 2022 and only wore it once. I got a Seiko NH34A movement and intend to replace the original movement with the Seiko. Hoping the hands from the old one might fit, and the dial can be fitted easily. Any advice or help on my project will be appreciated.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Well….i haven’t done any modding so I have no idea what to tell you in that regard nothing overly helpful. I’m wearing my pagani Pepsi with the Chinese movement, and it’s still running good. Not a daily wear though

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

I have had a total of three of these pass through my hands (I had to send two back because they had the Chinese movement and were faulty). I'd say the biggest problem with them is the buffing/brushing of the case. All three of them were brushed badly in the lug areas. It makes the lugs look huge and strangley shaped, because they catch the light in a weird way. I have tried to take photos and videos, but I can't get the effect to show up in them, so maybe everyone else's PD GMTs look the same. I disagree with you about the lume. I know its not as good as on many other watches, but it is adequate. The thing nobody seems to take into account is night vision. Once your eyes are accustomed to the dark, you don't necessarily want really bright lume. The lume on my PD is sufficient to read the time in the middle of the night without being uncomfortable to look at.

[@MirrlyonTime]

I have had multiple paganis. Haven’t had an issue with the finishing except perhaps on one where the brushing was sloppy, but the lume isn’t great on any of them, some of the newer ones are approaching ok lume but otherwise it’s a waste of time, a good number of them don’t last 5 min on a time lapse video and that is simply not good. This one has the Seiko movement which is nice, the Chinese movement gmt has a bit of a glitch in the hands skipping when setting but I figured out a hack for that, all of the ones with Chinese movements are just fine (that I own) but mind you I don’t wear them regularly enough to assess the overall reliability of the movement

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

@@MirrlyonTime One of the ones I had to return had a broken hacking function (just didn't hack) and the other was over 2 minutes per day fast. I have heard that these movements aren't regulated from the factory, so the second one probably wasn't defective per se, just in need of regulation)I didn't have a timegrapher at the time, so I decided not to mess with it. I still have a Pepsi, which is fine apart from the weird brushing, and I just ordered a Batman. Hopefully this one has a good movement. The lume on my Pepsi is fine. Maybe it's just different batches?

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@thepenultimateninja5797 I have no doubt you are correct re the movement and the lume, it's hit and miss with pagani, sometimes you get one that has decent enough lume, sometimes you don't. It's like that with everything, bezel, crown, lume....there are always minor hiccups with their pieces, but usually forgiveable for the price

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

@@MirrlyonTime Yeah, one of the things you lose at this price point is quality control, so you kind of have to do the QC yourself. That's why I always buy these watches from Amazon instead of direct from China. It costs a bit more, but it's worth it for the peace of mind, because it's so much easier to return a defective one.

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@thepenultimateninja5797 great point! Some of them have some traction on Amazon now!

[@bluecollarwatches7048]

Not sure if I love or hate pagani design as I’ve had issues with the watches and the pagani design store itself on AliExpress. When they have them on sale you can get a pretty decent watch for a outstanding price, my recent purchase is twice the price of what I paid for it. They have horrible customer service, I kinda feel like I’m done with them because of the customer service.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yep, they and most vendors on Aliexpress I imagine are going to have horrible customer service, but they do make a nice looking watch as you say. I'm at the point where I will buy one with money earned from the channel (maybe) but not with my own money anymore

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Oooooh Pagani design my favourite brand! 🤣 Have to admit that they do look great from 6ft away. Sad to see all the usual suspects in the QC issues dept. The annoying is I think they could actually make a really good watch, which is one of the reasons I've given up on them 😁

[@MirrlyonTime]

Ha thanks Adrian and yeah I’ve pretty much finished with them too, exception being using moola from affiliate links to check newer ones out, but I think I’m done spending my own moola on them, 12 is enough, 😆😆😆

[@BCallum]

Thanks for the video. For the price, the little quirks are OK. Cheers!!!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Agreed Bill! I do hope pagani fixes this clasp though

[@ThiagoMaggio]

Hi!! I bought one but I am bot sure is Pearl or Seiko movement. Is there any way to check that? Thank you

[@MirrlyonTime]

The display caseback will tell you for sure seiko have distinct rotor design. The specifications from the store you bought from should also list what movement is being used.

[@blueluny]

Sold my original PD batman as the movement gave up. Bought the new batman specifically to put on a nato strap. That was handy cos the buckle was loose... Also the bezel is slightly miss aligned. Good job i bought it aa daily wear and not to look good! I'd recommend buying the Seiko 5 gmt if you want reliable quality

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yeah pagani design seems to be hit and miss when it comes to their bezels but then again so is Seiko. Bezel on mine is a little light on the clicks but forgiveable and it does line up properly

[@ericouicestmoimeme]

I have the same in a pepsi version. It seems that Pagani is not very consistent when it comes to build quality. The engraving on mine, which I recently received, is appalling. It's not very precise, it's thick, it sucks... While everything else is of excellent quality, this bezel finish ruins everything. I sold this watch the day after I received it and bought the same one from Steeldive. The extra 30 euros is worth it in my opinion...

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@ericouicestmoimeme you are correct about the build quality for pagani they definitely have issues from time to time esp with bezels. Doing a comparison video very soon on the submariner homage and Steeldive is def the better choice and atm the particular model I’m doing (submariner homage) is the same price for each

[@lioneld5702]

Hello, I'm having an issue with my Pagani watch, and I hope someone can help me. When I set the date, for example, to Thursday the 14th, it never changes, even after midnight passes. I initially thought it was a manufacturing problem, but I tried it on a second watch and the same thing happened... I must be doing something wrong, but I don't understand what. Just to note, I do set the day and date when the time is set to 6:30 AM, as advised in some videos. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the issue? Thanks.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Honestly, I have no idea what could be causing the issue, I have never had an issue with a day/date complication on any watch let alone a pagani. that's a bummer man hopefully someone on here can give you some advice on it. Will it switch over as you wind the crown and advance the time? If it switches over manually it should after setting

[@larrydalton2205]

@Mirrly on Time Watch Reviews Yes, Shane at Relative Time had a great channel that I highly recommend. I was affected by the shady stuff that was mentioned in that video. By the way, Shane isn't from Canada. I did however buy this exact watch for $124 in the 11/11 sale and having had the earlier version of this watch with the Pearl movement, I can say that was trash compared to this new version. The case is thinner, the movement rock solid and accurate, the lume noticeably improved inspite of the hands being dimmer than markers. The lume is still visible all night after a UV charge. Even though the bezel action on mine is light it is very clicky and precise. I just changed the clasp for one with glidelock. Still, the issue with Pagani is inconsistent but improving QC. The delivery and shipping stuff was really bad though. I just got lucky.
