Finally Pagani understood that AR coating is very important, next step is lume.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Agreed, AR coating is a good enhancement. Pagani Design just need to upgrade to C3 or BGW9 Superluminova. Regards, #WR4K

Great review, John. Personally I prefer the baton hands, I don't mind the minute hand of the mercedes style but I've never been a big fan of the hideous hour hand (although I do have a couple of watches with mercedes hands). I have quite a few green dialed watches so this one isn't for me.........nor is the ice blue colour variant. The advertising photos on aliexpress for the ice blue dial are completely false and misleading....giving the impression of a 'light mint green' type colour which looks quite appealling, however, the dials are actually a dilute, washed out, uninspiring very pale blue. If PD offered other coloured dial variants in future I would definitely be keen. Nice to see some clear AR (it appears that PD are finally taking note of a multitude of criticisms over the years regarding their failure to incorporate this into their offerings). Lume isn't great, but that's normal PD for you.... it's not a deal breaker for me anyway. Overall a good effort. We know PD can do very good bracelets like the one here (I usually prefer two button pusher deployant clasps), a shame they can't apply the same care and attention to detail to a few of their other watches. Keep pumping out the good stuff!

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Graham. Glad you enjoyed it. I concur with your sentiments regarding the rendered image colours on AliExpress. Often the colours in the flesh look very different. Regards, #WR4K

[@stephanieroberts1394]

I really like your video presentation style.

[@nicklutz61]

I have trouble believing PD doesn't recognize their lume issues. Can excellent lume be just that expensive that the piece becomes unprofitable? Their price points are very affordable and I love many of their pieces, but the lume issues keep me away form a lot of them. Great review WR4K, keep 'em coming.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. The production cost increase would only be circa 5 Euro per piece for BGW9 or C3 Superluminova with 5 to 6 layers applied. Therefore Pagani Design could just increase the wholesale price by 5 Euro per piece to cover it. The AliExpress resellers could increase the retail price by 5 Euro per piece to offset it.

Ordered this during the 11.11 sale 5 months ago, the number 6 was not filled in with loom when I got it notified pagani design and also sent pics they said there was nothing wrong with the watch and would not replace it. Today the bracelet broke in the middle of the clasp. They will not answer my emails I've sent requesting a replacement bracelet.Horrible customer service. Would recommend a different brand than pagani design it's really to bad I like the watch even with the number six flaw and it keeps decent time +5 seconds a day.

[@watchreviews4k]

Sorry to hear that Scott. Regards, #WR4K

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

I'd happily pay £10 for a lume upgrade. They should try selling 2 versions side by side

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

I bought it thanks!

[@rolandoinductivo8013]

a bit late in getting this but hey its just 31usd now so worth it 😂

[@jamesholdsworth3112]

Why don’t you ever comment on the obvious issue that the case and bezel are out of proportion. Always the same review, same words with no imagination.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching James. "Why don’t you ever comment on the obvious issue that the case and bezel are out of proportion." I consider the case, and bezel, to be correctly proportioned. Regards, #WR4K

[@jamesholdsworth3112]

@@watchreviews4k ok. However the thing I’ve noticed more than anything on these homages of explorers, Op’s and the like is that the bezel is noticeably thicker. Look at the case design of an alpha for example. Much nicer in my opinion. Again only my opinion though. Regards.

[@watchreviews4k]

@@jamesholdsworth3112 The bezel on my San Martin SN020-G is also thinner. I prefer a thinner bezel when a piece has a doubled domed, or top hat style crystal. With a flat sapphire crystal as per the 1692 I prefer a thicker bezel. I also prefer a flat bezel as per the Rolex Explorer, versus the domed bezel of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41. Regards, #WR4K

[@CoolTechTime]

The version I orderd has the Mercedes hands and no pt time and its in black

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Congratulations. Excellent choice. Wear yours in good health. It's good they deleted "P.T Time" from the black version. Regards, #WR4K

[@CoolTechTime]

@@watchreviews4k thank you your review helped me make the purchase!

[@nirvana3677]

Did they recall the ones which had the PT TIME?

[@watchreviews4k]

No. They made a new batch of V2 black versions with "P.T Time" deleted. Regards, #WR4K

[@haping1]

Ik fully agree with your opinion about the watch. Great dial color and lay-out Ik think I'll buy it and swap the movement to a NH38 and maybe put another set of (Mercedes) hands on it.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Yes, it would be better with an NH38 and Mercedes hands. Regards, #WR4K

[@guanwaiheng1351]

Any chance you would review PD oyster perpetual pink dial version? Haven't seen any review on it yet.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Guan. I appreciate the suggestion. Regards, #WR4K

[@vvanced99]

Would it be easy to find a plain case back replacement?

[@watchreviews4k]

No, it would be difficult to find the correct diameter and thread. Regards, #WR4K

Again perfect review but please Pagani make a smaller version 🙏

Unbelievable! Today I bought them for 40$! 😮 Why so big discount on Ali? 🤔

[@discountmorty213]

I got the Air king version for 60 lol and the next day it went another 10 bucks down.maybe clearing stocks

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

Only thing I really disagree with you is the color of the lume. While the like needs more layers or a better lume all together. I appreciate the fact especially cheaper watches do different color lume. Gives us brokies a cool picture for about 60 seconds haha

My green tissot prx doesn't really impress at all tbh

I'm having such a hard time deciding between this watch, in this color, or the PD1717 V2 in Silver/Blue The watch I've currently been wearing the most is my blue PD-1649 which I just adore.
