Pagani Design (PD-1762) | Their BEST & Most COMPLETE Watch To Date!! | AliExpress

[@richcleaver]

Great review thanks Simon. It's good to see the gradual improvements PD are making. The micro adjustments are so welcome after the the earlier awful clasps. Hope you've had a great Easter sunday mate 👍👍

[@WatchtheTime]

Most definitely Rich and long may it continue. It’s good to see that they are actually listening to what me, you and others are saying. Thanks for watching and happy Easter to you and the family mate 👍👍

[@pingechelon9389]

I have no problem with the bracelet / clasp, it's the abysmal lume for me.

[@ChrizzLau69]

People hate on PD, I used to as well. But it’s simply amazing that they can give you damn near Rolex quality for that price. Especially for any steel models, it’s not much different from a real Rolex. They get better every year.

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad you like it Christopher and thank you for watching my friend 👍👍

[@chriskelly509]

My gf has one, she loves it.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Nice to see PD steadily making improvements, let's hope they keep that going.👍👍

[@WatchtheTime]

Most definitely bro and compared to a couple of years ago, it’s like a different company tbh but as you say, let’s keep it going. I know how you LOVE a Pagani 😜 Thanks for watching my man 👍👍

[@BCallum]

Thanks for the review. Never had issues with PD. Best bang for the cheap buck out there. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!

[@WatchtheTime]

Good to hear my friend and if you get a good one, yes they offer great value for money. Thank you for watching and I hope you had a blessed Easter 👍👍

[@MirrlyonTime]

Even before the new nh34 movements, this watch is definitely imo the best automatic pagani you can get, and now even better with the new Seiko gmt movement. Also, gotta say the one with the Chinese movement I’ve had for a while now, and other than the hiccup issue with the gmt hand and minute hand skipping when pressing in the crown whilst setting (there is a hack for it) it has been running just fine for me. And bloody hell, the clasp finally has proper micro adjusts, hallelujah!!! Bout bloody time Female end link is def a nice change. Tuck tape (red construction) will get the blue sticker off in one pull The subtle changes have made this bloody fantastic! Lume is better too, pagani is def killing it, but ya know I’m a huge pagani fan boy! Great review as alway Simon!

[@WatchtheTime]

I know you like Pagani and I must confess, with all the continued improvement they are making… I actually don’t mind them anymore - long may their improvements continue. Thanks for watching my man 👍👍

[@michaelj8793]

They're slowly getting better but as always they always drop the ball After I saw another review by Honest Watch Reviews I wish he hadn't pointed out the slightly short hands especially the hour hand I just can't unsee it Going to pass on yet another Pagani Design for now and Thanks for sharing yet another great review my friend Happy Easter and Be Well 👍

[@WatchtheTime]

I can’t say I mind the hand length tbh but as you say, once you see something it’s very difficult to un-see. Thanks for watching Michael and happy Easter to you and your family 👍👍

[@johnswatchjoint]

Hi Simon. I just completed a series of GMT reviews and pretty much disregarded rhis one, opting for the Tandorio as my budget option. This looks extremely good. Great review my friend :)

[@WatchtheTime]

Hello mate, yeah I’ve seen it and the Tandorio for the price looks a cracker. Thanks for watching and I hope you’re well 👍👍

[@brianmsahin]

Very good looking watch Simon. That orange GMT hand looks very good. Seems well finished. I agree about a little bit too much writing though that's an issue with the original too! The lume certainly looks like a big improvement, it will be nice if Pagani start doing this on all their watches. Cheers for another great review. 👍👍👍👍

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s unreal that they are now making watches this good when you consider where they were a few months back, fair play to them. Thanks for watching and always supporting my man 👍👍

[@paulkukula6541]

Great review,great watch. Thanks for showing us.👍

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem Paul - thanks for watching my man 👍👍

[@scottwaldie4979]

Another great review Simon. I'm with you on the movement gaining time - better to always arrive early rather than late! Wondering if everything is aligned perfectly; minute, 12 and 24 hour hands? The fixed bezel looks to be spot on. I have a Explorer 2 Steinhart which has poor hand alignment and a bezel pressed home too far to the left Such a disappointment A 24 hour hand with a life of its own, although that could be down to a missing dial washer during assembly Very poor quality control from a Swiss made brand. Your PD looks to be spot on. Nice dial. The writing is a bit innocuous, and doesn't detract from the overall appearance. Happy Easter. 😊

[@WatchtheTime]

Many thanks Scott and I must confess I have been looking at getting a Steinhart in for review but after your experience, I’m not so keen although they seem to make some very nice pieces generally. Thanks for watching mate and I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter 👍👍

[@Vidmr2407]

I agree. I have had problems with the DG GMT movements, but I hope the price comes down. Cheers!

[@WatchtheTime]

Most definitely and I’m sure it will David. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@andypayne4002]

Bought this last month. Quite like it.

[@WatchtheTime]

I can see why Andy, I like this one as well - thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@ladykoala208]

I definitely agree the dial has too much writing and well if they keep on improving on the lume department (which they should have shorted by now tbh) I might give them another go. Always love your videos Simon!

[@WatchtheTime]

Many thanks my friend and let’s hope they continue to keep pushing forwards with their watches & their ever improving continues. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@1988banker]

I knew the lume was going to be better after looking at those indices. Makes me want a PD with good lume haha.

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s FAR better mate 👍👍

[@michaeldasilva5079]

Great video Simon 👍 Whilst I agree that this on paper is an improvement over the previous version the PD1682, the previous version had a 42mm diameter and a 2 button clasp which are decent IMO. Shame Pagani Design didn’t keep this new version at the same size as the old one.

[@WatchtheTime]

I hear you Micheal and I’m sure many people may agree with your perspective but, I really prefer this one and even the size is more in keeping with my taste. The upgraded; lume, clasp, end links and movement surely set this apart? Thanks for your honesty and support as ever my man 👍👍

[@drebarthelotte5712]

The only thing that I noticed was that the induces lume looks gray and the hands are white. I'm probably looking at the black showing through compared to the silver hands. It doesn't bother me like some others. I think it's their best watch so far aswell. Good review 👍 I'm kinda hoping for another pt5000 watch. The price is a little high but I hope they do . Cheers 😊

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad you agree Dre and would be great if they did another PT5000 movement watch, most definitely. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@dougdottery1284]

Thank you for The videos nice watch I just ordered one you convinced me

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one Doug, I’m glad I could help and I’m sure you’ll love your new watch 👍👍

[@ATIWatchReviews]

Nice clasp, have to say I would prefer it in 42mm true to the original, but I can see this is more refined version than previous

[@WatchtheTime]

I hear you but I must say, I prefer it smaller as I prefer smaller watches generally. This certainly is more refined and hopefully yet another step in the right direction for Pagani 👍👍

[@double00spy]

I got one of the earlier versions of this watch, and it came with a clasp that had two-push buttons, and no fold-over - almost exactly like the San Martin bracelets. I love it - it is much better than this clasp. I don't know why they used that one on my watch, I have a bunch of PD's and none of them have the clasp like my polar ex II.

[@WatchtheTime]

Ah nice!! I can’t say I’ve seen that clasp generally but I know they’ve used a fully milled clasp on other watches I’ve reviewed, that is very decent. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@gorillasinthewrist]

I love PD watches, so prolific but you have to wonder what will happen when their photocopier breaks down 😂 the amount of text on the dial does reflect the watch it’s “homaging”

[@WatchtheTime]

Very true 😂 I hear you but on the ‘Rolly’ it looks better balanced with how they’ve done it IMO. Thanks for watching my man 👍👍

[@watchsixto]

I almost pulled the trigger on this pagani I should to see what it's like in person definitely for someone that doesn't want to drop that much money for the real thing 😅

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s a very, very nice piece from Pagani Design and a watch only a few short months ago I wouldn’t of thought they’d be capable of making, if I’m being honest - thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@watchsixto]

​@@WatchtheTime are you being honest Simon 🤔 😂. Yes it looks like they did a banging job on this one

[@WatchtheTime]

Always man 💯

[@ralphus555]

Still very hit or miss with their QC,. Just received the new red chronograph with the sapphire bezel. Looks great except that the chrono hand doesn't line up...

[@WatchtheTime]

Sorry to hear that mate. I haven’t experienced any QC issues for a while now but I guess that means I’m due one 😳 Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your watch regardless 👍👍

[@stephanieroberts1394]

Would like to see the grey indices white. Now that would be a beautiful white.

[@yogavardhang2349]

It would be really appreciated if you can add one or two shots of this watch with a leather strap / NATO strap and a rubber strap. Thanks :)

[@WatchtheTime]

Good suggestion mate and something I am going to start doing more of in future reviews. Thank you 👍👍

[@toniwertman4818]

I see that now. Be better for men it were a 42 or 43 I have a big wrist. If you have any input into pagani . Maybe you can suggest that

[@WatchtheTime]

Their V2 is approximately 42mm off memory, maybe check that out 👍👍

[@InGratitudeIam]

Overall, a good review. I was hoping you'd measure how long the lume lasted.

[@WatchtheTime]

Cheers mate and thank you for the suggestion, that may be a very good thing to incorporate in to my videos 👍👍

[@soggz4246]

I like it, but I’m not sure it’s as good as the Steeldive homage version. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@WatchtheTime]

Good shout. I think I’ll have to get that Steeldive in, in the near future. Thanks man 👍👍

[@dondan2973]

Nice watch and improvements by PD, however, the design of the female end links are a big NO NO for me, as they look like PD took male end links and castrated them. Why the heck are the middle parts raised against the outer parts?!?

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m not sure why they did that but I completely understand your perspective mate. Thanks for watching anyway 👍👍

[@Skurtle]

A comparison with the new Steeldive EX II would be nice.

Hacking is not working for me, everything else is working fine, dont know what to do, removed the return tag now 😢😢 Tell me what to do. I dont care about hacking much, but will it break down soon due to this?

[@WatchtheTime]

Sorry to hear that mate, how long have you had it for?? You could well have problems given it’s a hacking movement and that isn’t working

[@mooooooooooomooooooooooomo6829]

Ok. Did you buy it from the same store as me? If, contact them directly, they are pretty good 👍👍

[@bidipbo]

These are not genuine SII NH34A movements, but are made in Malaysia or China. This might be a bit nit-picky, but it is not made in Japan, so reliability. I know that Toyotas and Nissan build cars in other regions outside of Japan and no one considers those not to be what the badge indicates. But, in the case of these calibres...The same is true of the 'Pearl' movement in the 42mm V2 - those were not genuine to the factory where Pearl is made and assembled, but another factory wholly unrelated. PD does not disclose that fact when marketing the watch.

[@WatchtheTime]

Are you sure Martin? Where did you get that information from? If true, another example of PD being deceitful 😢

[@bidipbo]

@@WatchtheTime ​ @Watch the Time I first learned of this on a thread in the Chinese Watch Reddit. They were discussing the provenence of the so-called Pearl movement in the PD-1782 42mm. It turns out that it is not a Pearl(e) movement, but is instead made in another factory in the same city as the Pearl movements. THis was because of the broo-ha-ha about how unreliable each of those movements were -- that it was essentially a crapshoot as to whether the movement worked, or not. It was there the same clarification was made about the NH34A. Time Module Inc. is a HK-based firm that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko Group Corporation. "Since 2015, it is wholly owned by Seiko Holdings Group. Time Module (H.K.) Ltd has been replaced by SEIKO Manufacturing (H.K.) but they have retained the brand name TMI." -- diywatch.club/en/blog/whats-the-difference-between-sii-or-tmi-movement Now, that article -- and many defenders -- say that they are the same thing, but they aren't. Ask yourself: Why isn't the SII 4R34 available in all of these other brands' watches? The answer is that it is a superior movemnet at a higher price. In fact, there is a large body of evidence of how unreliable the TMI NH series movements are. The defenders of TMI movements will answer these questions in the same way: If you had the choice between a Chinese made Mercedes Benz or a German made MB -- for the same price -- which would you choose? İf you had a choice between the Rolex Explorer II Polar dial or the PD-1762 -- for the same price -- which would you choose? Continuing that logic: If you had the choice between a PD-1762 with a TMI NH34A movement or a SII 4R34 -- for the same price -- which would you choose? We have all been extolling the virtues of the Seiko movements inside of these micro brands for awhile now, but they are not any more Seiko than a Swatch is an Omega. I should add that it's perhaps more a case of Seiko being deceptive rather than PD. Sure, Swatch Group owns Omega and ETA, but that doesn't mean the ETA inside of a Swatch is superior to an Omega movement made especially for its own models.

[@ondrejzacek9243]

Minute and second hands are too short. The colour on the hands doesn't match with the indicies. The strange bulcky look of the indicies is not good and the price is way off. Really good is the thickness at 12.2mm and the overall finishing. But really nice review.👍

[@WatchtheTime]

I appreciate your feedback mate and also thank you for watching 👍👍

[@martinkavanagh196]

*SNAP* .. well almost, as mine is the previous version with Chinese movement and male bracelet lug Simon. I like this one. - I've got lotsa Pagani design watches & the majority are fantastic value - as you'd expect from "Relax's Production Division" eh. My Chinese movement is much prettier & better decorated than that NH34 ... and very reliable functionable so far. - If you've got mates down here in NZ - what the f***k are you doing hanging about in Pongoland for? Get out asap for a better life mate like I did in '76. Cheers.

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad you like it mate and I ask myself the same question every day, problem is my wife isn’t keen on moving but I’m hopeful ‘one day’. The quality over there, from what my mates say, is night and day compared to here. Thanks for watching man 👍👍

[@martinkavanagh196]

@@WatchtheTime Yes I'd say it is much better 'over-all' in NZ .. but it ain't perfect. - Just the weather makes it more cheerful for starters. I've been back to UK about a dozen times over the years and each time it has been worse than before ..
