Perfect Everyday Budget Watch! - Pagani Design Ranger Homage PD-1751

[@Sicarius888]

It looks nice with just the logo and not the name on dial.

[@brianmsahin]

Very nice watch Jason.. Looks good with just the logo. Definitely worth considering.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Really nice aesthetic to it on this one

[@sweetcorn1968]

That classic look is hard to beat.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Very true, tried and tested etc.

[@WatchtheTime]

Is a shame to see that your lume was inconsistent as on mine it wasn’t. Another step in the right direction from Pagani - nice work mate 👍👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Maybe I got the poorer iteration, nice to hear yours was good!

[@AdAce21]

Definitely one of the best-looking PGs. I really like that they kept the dial real clean by dropping the name text and just having their logo on the dial. How does it stack up against the San Martin version? Is the San Martin homage worth the $100 price difference?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I've seen the reviews of the SM and they really do look clean, very well made and finished. As I expect from SM

[@barriewilliams6873]

All very well, and I liked mine. Unfortunately the NH35A stopped dead for no reason after 13 months of only occasional wear. The ‘Pagani Design Shop’ in AliExpress wence I bought it denies their the same outfit as the seller. A local Watchmaker to me tried to get the back off. What looks like a screw back, when you turn doesn’t undo and sounds like metal grinding on metal. So what is a pop-off back can’t be released because there’s no knib to get a knife in. SCRAP!Brilliant Any suggestions?

[@jrbj2000]

It is a screw down case back. I’ve taken mine off a couple of times to lube the o-ring. If the movement isn’t working, you would just swap out the NH35 with a new one. Not sure how the watchmaker wasn’t able to do that.

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

nobody can argue that for 100 dollars you wouldn't get nowhere near that quality of a watch from Seiko

[@snacklofter]

Yes. I just looked at the prices of Seiko's new watches in the UK - I'm still in shock!!!

[@ShortBetter]

Can you please let me know what's the size of the caseback? Is it possible to change it to a full steel one?

[@Andydydy2819]

Hello, is this share the same case with the pd blackbay 36mm homage ?

[@ctaira3118]

What's your wrist size? Thanks!

[@gregorywalker4997]

great review! without asking for a ton of money pagani provides an insight into many of the classics that we can't afford. the lume issue is present with most of their offerings but this is known by many buyers going in. certainly if better lume is desired other brands deliver.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Definitely, especially when you're looking further up the market in terms of brands

[@jandavey7372]

Good review Jase. Quite tempted for this lovely timepiece, but I cannot understand why the NH38 movement isn't used in this model, as there is no day date complication. And as usual an abysmal lume. I think that there should be the option for a Jubilee bracelet. Keep up the good work. JANBOY. Thailand.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

It is strange they haven't used it actually! Especially considering they've used them in former watches

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Thanks for the review. I looked at this but didn't like the colour of the lume so got the San Martin with the white print. Pagani Design certainly made a good looking watch though.

[@bifflee3603]

Thanks the $10 off coupon worked 👍🏼

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Great stuff! 😁

[@jakebarlow401]

Pretty sure Marc and TVG were fairly open about their inspirations.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

And it's a lovely homage

[@jorgeolguingarcia]

Great video! Jason, does your discount code work on other watches at the store, or just for this model?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I'm not too sure pal, worth a go on another

[@jorgeolguingarcia]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I'm devised between this one, the PD1723 and the PD1719. Still making up my mind, thanks for great videos

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thank you for watching! Enjoy whichever one you go for 😁

[@howardtyree4297]

Thanks. That was a good review. However I like the glossy dial. I ordered the watch and they gave me a great deal but they would not recognize your code. No worries though. I got a great deal anyways. I have several expensive homages but I do like those cheeky Pagani’s because they’re absolutely great watches for the dollar. PS: I’m tired of those folks trying to justify their purchase of that super expensive and tiny “u know what watch”. I laugh out loud when they try to justify their purchase. Mind you I would buy one of the $$$$$$$ watch at a $1000. It’s a good watch but not that $$$$$$$ good. Thanks again for your reviews. I love them here in the Applachian mountains, USA. Google WV the state. No watch stores here though. No one to impress but me and I’m sooooo happy to be alive. Stay safe.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Unfortunately the codes only last so long! Glad you picked up a watch you enjoy. Hope you wear it in good health

[@haseebbikya]

Nice video Jason. Can you pls do a review of pagani pd1725. Not that popular but looks nice

[@briancolyer8483]

This is a really nice watch that is almost "ding dong" it only needs a couple of minor adjustments to hit that bell....all brushed, use the NH38 although the 35 ghost date isn't an issue at all for me, the micro adjust on these bracelets are awkward so a glide style would be better and we always want more lume....I do want to add a ranger homage to my collection, the style is right up my street....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚ On a side note I do have to agree that the Islander Rangemaster is absolutely an homage....

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I think you'd love the San Martin version, has the exact quality you'd want from a watch too. Definitely, call it as it is! I don't care either way myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@briancolyer8483]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I find myself constantly going back to the SM, can see me picking one up....

[@ramspencer5492]

You'd like the San Martin. The vintage Tudors had the polished bezel. Ii like that. I love the glossy dial. It's a highlight for me. The crystal also gives a vintage aesthetic. What would I change? I just wish the didn't give it the thick display case back. Don't want to see an nh35 anyway. 100mm of Easter resistance would have been fine. The could have shaved a mm off the back. Then just clear anti reflective coating. Blue glare on a black watch is not a good thing. I would have preferred that smaller new class they've used on some of the watches. And forgot sakes Pagani..... The last respectable AliExpress brand that hasn't fixed their lume yet. That's a deal breaker for many. Glad the finishing is getting a little better.

[@SmurfPerfect]

Love the Scouse accent bruv

[@teenoso4069]

Nice review. Nice watch. Im a bit new to this - re Aliexpress do they do Black Friday sales and will you be getting discount codes / affiliate links at that time for Pagani pieces to help support your work?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

They do often have a black Friday sale, I'm not sure what type of offers will be available but my affiliate links will work then too! Thank you for the support but make sure you get the best price you can!

[@teenoso4069]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I have been discussing with Pagani the chances of producing a homage to A Lange Sohne's Datograph up/down. If you have any weight with them please support.

Not sure if I have any weight with them but happy to drop them a message! Worth mentioning it in their Facebook groups, they have a lot of action

[@jamesharmer4253]

Genuine question in regards to lume. I have a Steeldive SD1970 which has bloody good lume by all watch standards, let alone Ali Express budget standards, but throughout the day between it slipping under a sleeve and spending time in poorly lit rooms, by the time it's actually dark it's virtually useless anyway. Unless you go from bright sun to pitch black it's honestly pointless. So my question is, why is everyone so bothered by it?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I guess it's like anything in the watch world, you may not exactly use it but the functionality of it and presence on wrist shows its quality I guess.

[@jamesharmer4253]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy good point. I suppose you could ask the same thing of water resistance when very few of us are divers or even swimmers.

[@steven2809]

Nice looking watch but the problem with all these Pagani bracelets is the clasp is so uncomfortable! Like having two knife blades cutting into your wrist....😖 Had to put straps on ALL of mine. I wish they would re-design them....🙄

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

I find the Tudor Ranger really ugly, for me the hour hand ruins the watch, it's a shame as it's the same one TGV / Marc used on the new Urban Gentry Islander, very off-putting, probably a good thing otherwise I would of had to buy one.

[@stevenmccarthy112]

I totally agree about the hour hand.

[@AlexanderB.]

While I do like some Pagani Design watches like the vintage Air King, the Longines Spirit homage or the Black Bay Chrono homage when they put a little effort in the design. But I don't rate lazy off-the-shelf designs like this one.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

There are some key changes that I think would have really set this one apart

[@gideonMorrison]

Nothing lazy about it. It is quite different from the truly lazy effort by San Martin.

[@the_9ent]

@@gideonMorrison Couldn’t agree more

[@gideonMorrison]

@@the_9ent You sir are a man of good taste

[@AlexanderB.]

@@gideonMorrison What I think is lazy about the design? Pagani Design takes an Oyster style watch case they've already used for a dozen of different homages, slap a new dial and hands in and they're done. Hence the polished bezel which I find totally unfitting for this watch. But that's only me of course.

[@villagranvicent]

I don’t understand why using exhibition backs to show those ugly NH movements. And why did you avoid to show the ugly clasp?

[@gerrywarren2625]

Just had this watch delivered through AliExpress and, of course, it doesn't work. I really should have known better. Have you guy ever attempted to return a watch to China to get a refund?! Please, please be aware that if your watch is faulty the guarantee is pretty much worthless. 100 quid down the drain. You have been warned!

[@twitchyjambo]

Same case, different dial. Don't know how many watches they can do with this style case. At some point surely they can actually homage a Tudor properly,slab side's and brushed😩 lazy.
