I think it is called "Acid Etching" for the meteor pattern : "Widmanstätten pattern"

I am familiar with that process. I seemed to have brain lock in this video and the unboxing video, because I failed to mention the most likely process - and in fact the actual process - that the dial was merely stamped with a relief pattern for easy replication and low cost of production.

@@bidipbo I still hesitate buying this model, or the previous model with smoother edges in brown color without the calendar that is quite small. There is barely no videos on KZbin about this specific model, would be worth to make just more couple shot video of it on KZbin 😉. It comes with 2 colors silver and white. I kind of like the white more but haven't seen it yet.

Witch one would you choossse pd1644 or pd1676 ? Can't decide witch one i gonna buy 🙃

[@bidipbo]

1644, all day. You would have heard my disappointment about the crystal of the 1676, but it's more than that. The dial of the '76 is to glossy. It would have been so much more elegant if it were matte, instead. Whereas the 1644 offers so many different dial colours - also date/ no date options. I also think that the 1644 is more friendly to wearing off bracelet and looks great with the nato or strap variants.

have you ever had issues with Hangzhou 2196a movement inside pagani watches suddenly died and never worked again?

[@bidipbo]

No problems, so far. When I am not wearing the watch, it sets in a box. When I take it out to wear, I have to set the watch, wind it and go. It is said that it is not ideal to let automatic watches go for long periods unwound, but that isn't really true. The logic behind that advice is based upon the idea that the lubricants can migrate away from the points of contact that they are meant to protect from friction, due to gravity. Prolonged periods of non-use might also cause damage to the gears if the viscosity of the oil were to increase and the watch were wound up for use. But that is outdated advice since the lubricants used have exceptionally low viscosity. It's like when you start your combustion engine automobile after hours or days of non-use. The oil has migrated off of the parts in the engine and returned to the oil pan. When the engine is turned over and started, it is best to let the oil recirculate through the engine before setting off down the road at breakneck speed to avoid damage from the heat of intense friction of the moving parts before the oil has had the chance to re-coat those parts. Think about it. Many watches sit in inventory at the factories unwound, for periods exceeding months at a time. The tolerances of these movements are much improved since the time that advice first circulated. The less that a watch is wound and worn means less wear and tear of the movement. This is a good thing. With regard to the reliability of this movement, it is probable that there are hits and misses. This is true for Pearl(e) movements, used in other PD models, for example. It is possible that the main spring fails inside the barrel, not necessarily due to a break, but slippage inside the barrel. The hairspring of the regulator can sometimes get hung up from a sudden shock. Anything that can go wrong, will with a mechanical movement - regardless of manufacture. The great thing is, all of them can generally be serviced quite easily by qualified professionals and even hobbyists, alike.

Why can't you put the watches on

[@bidipbo]

In each of these watches unboxing videos, I do try them on, so I invite you to view those. I believe it slipped my mind since I was focused on providing all the details and doing it all in one take, whilst also keeping the video length to a minimum. So yeah, the most obvious bit was overlooked. 😆
