The Best Royal Oak Homage Yet? - Pagani Design PD-1707 Review

[@Almanacs]

Just got mine and it's a perfect watch for the money. Incredibly beautiful and solid, and the seiko movement adds extra points to it. No regrets.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Good stuff! Enjoy it!

[@Godotlv5000]

By a country mile their best watch. Watch looks nice, has a Seiko movt, saphire crystal, NO MISALIGNED BEZEL AND CYCLOPS! Love it!

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

Mine was excellent except for the misaligned bezel. It was quite a few degrees off. I asked for a partial refund and AliExpress granted it, so I don't really mind.

[@havanaknights4808]

Best watch ever ! Just got mine off Amazon . Looks so good , I woke in luxury retail and tons of my clients think I got the real AP. Buy themmmmmm and also the pagani homage of the 41 date just . Sooooo nice and good feel to it @ Amazon

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

The Daytona homage is the best I've had from them

[@appleman29]

what was their reaction when u told them it wasn't an AP but an homage?

[@soggz4246]

I like that. A lot. I may get me self one! Nice review of it Jason.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Be rude not to in the sale!

[@muhammadasifmalik1636]

How to check the exact minutes on the watch as there are no sub minute markers on Royal oak any idea??? Time such as 6:32 or 4:33 etc , no minute markers .....right

[@TheWatchConcierge]

I've been avoiding this homage because I wasn't a fan of the bezel and bracelet that much, but I have to say that I kind of like this chronograph version. Especially the black one, I think it's the best looking one, even compared to the automatic version. Might end up getting this eventually.

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

Agreed. Also I don't mind a decent quartz in a knock off. If I'm going to get an auto its not going to be a "homage"

[@Olddirtytiger]

Love mine brought last sale with ur link, not bothered about the brushing too much still more value then alot of my watches... I did get it around the same time as my solar chronograph seiko Sportiva Macchina which I'm also in love with and is also finished beautifully but double + the price , thanks for the review 👍

[@fredericktennant9151]

now thats a nice watch I will get one at the end of the month

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

The sale will be a good time!

[@briancolyer8483]

Not a bad wee watch, I do like however as you know the squares on the dial really get to me....plain or alternative dial and ditch the date it would be an absolute winner in my eyes....great review as always brother....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@thetimebombardier]

Nice review mate, a good looking piece 😎👍

[@RAVI171175]

It would be very nice if Pagani design could make the Homage version of the Maurice la Croix panda dial too.

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

I have a Grand Seiko SFBG019 high end quartz and i'm rough and accidently knock things, always paranoid about scratching it up. I use this Pagani as a daily (decent looking) watch that doesn't matter if it gets trashed. Looks good costs like 5% of the GS, can't go too far wrong.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Good to see almost 5000 suscribed 👍

[@juniorjohnson5961]

I'm not into Homage watches any more. The only one that tempted me is the Bulova 50 Fathoms . And it's more of a reissue . But $900 is out of the question.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

It's pretty pricey, I'm actually a big fan of their new lunar pilot but I have the same issue

[@efeegemen7979]

hi, did you check the water resistance? thanks for the review.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

No, I don't have the facilities to do so

[@cyrussataravalla6731]

Ma786sai Dua Jason does the latest PD 1707 have its QC issues sorted out and is it better now than Cadisen?

[@watch-box]

The watch is ok. Not my favorite looking but its ok I suppose. That brushing would turn my OCD up to 11! What I really like the look of is the bracelet - Pagani used to skimp on the bracelet to spend more money on the dial and case. It almost seems here the bracelet is the highlight!

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

You wouldn't be wrong, the bracelet on this is really fantastic, fits well too

[@Drbudweiser]

Nice video mate

[@cyrussataravalla6731]

Ma786sai Dua great truly a great review. What is the weight Jason? I wanted to buy a black face, but hope it weighs at least 170 grams?

[@stephenspain9167]

when I see a Submariner homage I feel like you're getting 95% of the Rolex look for a fraction of the cost, when I see a Royal Oak homage I feel it's more like 65%, the Royal Oaks just have so much going on to make a inexpensive homage

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

That may be the case but we're talking about different classes of watches. For example it will be incredibly easy to get close or exceed Seiko with a homage. Guess it's a game of managing expectations

[@space.cowboyyyyy]

Looks better than Cadisen IMO 😁 I love panda chronos 😍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I would be tempted to agree

[@michaelj8793]

If I can get a decent savings during the sale I just might pull the trigger on of the new GMT'S I just might not be able to get over being burned twice already great review my friend Thanks 👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I've steered clear, I had the first iteration and I'm happy with that

[@fouzanharoon9200]

Hey do you where can i get a rubber strap for this ?

[@neila7144]

Thanks Jason. There are precious few reviews of this watch. For the life of me, I can't see any issues withe brushing. Perhaps a closer camera angle would have highlighted this, but from what you presented, it's a minor issue indeed. It's on my list for the sale. Thanks again.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

It's definitely something that you have to see in person I think, hopefully also something they may fix

[@hojinchang6176]

nice watch thanks for the video.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thank you for checking it out

[@james241ish]

Nice but discount code doesn't seem to do anything? Have to wait for 11th 😝

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Give the store a message, I'm sure they'll help

[@tonif3962]

I will buy one... but How to adjust the left top "circle" pointer? It seems inative

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

The circle pointer?

[@tonif3962]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy ops the left "sub" dial

[@fahmi2783]

@@tonif3962with vk63 that left top sub dial is active when you use the Chronograph function if not then it will stay at 60 minute mark

[@G-DizzleDon]

"Great Video! I really like the watch but i fear that my 5.9 inch wrist might be too small for that. What do you think?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

You're pushing it below 6" I think. But there are links for me to spare with that being said

[@cedarcanoe]

Wow that’s very nice

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Agreed

[@chrisr8112]

Jason, how heavy is it?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Not sure exactly, isn't extremely heavy but I wouldn't say light. I think they have a weight on the listing

Problems with the clasp? Opens accidentally? Sorry for my english Thank you

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

If not pressed in hard enough

@@JasonTheWatchGuy thank you

[@albyz7321]

Jason pd 1680 the new pagani design,coming soon

[@angelospanagiotopulos2315]

Pagani design daytona or royal oak which is the best?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I prefer the Daytona myself

[@ojsimps701]

This or the daytona or the blue omega hommage ?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Daytona all the way

[@euigenemahmah3412]

Overall is a good watch.. But the steel strap is a bit different from the AP

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Definitely different, I quite like it though

[@coldude2559]

I got mine delivered yesterday, I really was looking forward wearing it...Don't get me wrong it looks OK but the finish leaves a lot to be desired...sharp edges everywhere!! especially the bracelet. You don't need to get too close to see the very poor finish, after 4 hours of wearing it the clasp started digging into my wrist badly.😒😒😒

[@keefs3987]

I take it the NH35 version is non functioning chrono? Pagani QC let down again .I'll forgive it for £50 as its quartz . Great review Jason.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I don't believe it has a chrono?

[@felo6035]

Great review buddy...but sorry to say this one does not get my attention. Just not a fan of this style, not even by the real thing . . . Thank you and please keep your awesome videos coming!

[@WesWatchRoom]

That is a good looking piece, but unfortunately the finishing and size is a bit of a downer unfortunately. If you can get one on a different strap I might be more interested in it.

[@senny_penny]

Could it be used with a rubber strap?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

If you can get an inverted one that fits

[@DanRC69]

I ended up buying their pd1651 and the bezel is awful and time keeping accuracy is terrible. This being a quartz will make it MUCH more accurate. I SO wish i bought this instead......

[@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712]

Just because it looks like AP royal oak, it does not give you the same feeling of wearing AP RO… I will never understand why people buy homages / replicas.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Probably on the wrong channel then 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy yea it was just recommended and I clicked. Nothing bad with your channel mate. I just don’t get the concept of homage. There are watches like seiko Hamilton tissot etc you can buy for a couple hundred and they will last a lifetime. Just personal taste.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I get that, I treat this type of thing as more fun items! I also have some reviews on higher ends and luxury watches

[@starmorpheus]

@@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712 Well mate, first, an AP is 300x more expensive than Cadisen or Pagani homages, and definitely does not have 300x times the quality (and that's not even counting the secondary market, where it's worth 500x or more) Second, you'll have to get on a waitlist for several years to get the watch. Third, luxury watches are expensive to maintain and service, so you'll be spending thousands over the years just taking care of the watch. Fourth, there's no steel watch on earth that is worth more than $5,000 on pure material and craftmanship (No talk of heritage and R&D). Fifth, people (like myself and many) love the designs, and will never be able to afford the real thing because of the overblown prices. I don't see how it's hard to understand why people buy homage watches.

[@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712]

@@starmorpheus I get all these points, but why don’t you buy an authentic/original seiko with a reasonable price tag and use it for the next 30+ years with minimal service. Why these imitations? Plus you can easily buy, depending on your budget, a bit more expensive but still affordable authentic watches with great heritage and quality. Hamilton panda is one example, you can buy it for less than 2000 usd, which is as good as Rolex Daytona or Breitling panda. Just thinking outloud man…

[@shervinnasrin]

Can’t stand the round bezel instead of an octagon

[@AndySmith4501]

Why would you buy this instead of the real thing

[@grahamwallace]

Great review vid but I’m not a fan of this watch.
