I have this watch and an Omega Speedmaster. Had the Pagani Design Speedmaster in the past (gave it to my brother). Let me tell you the Watchdives Speedmaster blows the Pagani out of the water: 1. The bracelet feels 90% similar to a real Speedmaster bracelet. It is incredible how they could deliver that at this price point. 2. The dial more closely resembles the Speedmaster dial. 3. The lume is a HUGE improvement over the Pagani. 4. The domed crystal mimicks the Speedmaster crystal much more closely than the Pagani. 5. No date window (like the original) that RUINS the dial symmetry on the Pagani. The only thing that Pagani has over Watchdives is the engraved case back. Easily recommend the Watchdives Speedmaster over the Pagani Design Speedmaster. As an Omega Speedmaster owner I know what I am comparing the watches with. 😉

For the point 5, I disagree with you. Dial symmetry is already ruined because you have a 12h/24h subdial... even when the chronograph function is not working. Date is very useful and it's not ugly if you have a color match date wheel. But all tastes are in nature...

I really like the crystal of the Watchdives, good heighth, and fantastic distortions around the chapter ring. Other than that, I'll keep my V3 Pagani PD-1701. It looks great on my wrist and very comfortable, just love it. The big slab sides of the Watchdives is an instant turn off for me. I went deaf at that point. Nothing has been greatly improved to peak my interest. It was a great review though, thanks for sharing.

Nice watch Steve . I have the PD mission to Uranus, having had the original Swatch one, it was an improvement. I've had it over a year and apart from the bad lume, which isn't an issue on a Chrono anyway. However!!....although the PD is slimmer I actually like the chunky look of the Watchdive, and I'll consider getting one. I happen to have the caseback tool to fit this too and prefer the plain caseback to the cartoonish one that was once on my PD. I admit I do also like the bigger, chunkier pushers too. I have an 8.1" and maybe this is better for me. And finally, yes , it's great lume for a Chronograph. I have a far more expensive Orient panda dial chronograph and the Watchdives looks like it beats it too. Only thing is, the price could be a little bit lower. I wouldn't expect a Pagani price given how better this is, but it's still a bit high. Finally, I took the bracelet off my PD I wasn't overly impressed, so replaced it with a good quality white hand made leather strap to give it a Moonswatch look AND, brushed the silly spaceship and moon off the caseback ! Thanks for the great review .

I think it's all a matter of opinion. The PD is great for the price. A nicely shaped case and a lower price point is all that it has going for it, though (IMO). No, the WD isn't perfect (what watch is?) but (again, IMO) The ONLY place this falls short is the case side profile. The better crystal, case finishing, and bracelet are something you can't really argue with....I guess lume matters to some but not others (this blows the PD away), and the more accurate bezel but being a "worse" material could go either way, same with the more accurate dial on the WD. But having them both in hand, I can't see how anyone would pick the PD over the WD...it's just a better made watch...and yeah, sure, some will pay more for that while others won't. 🤷

Interesting homage model. I have currently the Pagani one. The big deal breaker of the PD was the bracelet, I couldn't fix it to my 6.5 inch wrist. The watchdive model seems to fix this issue. Case thickness is not my cup of tea, nor the pushers size, there gone too off, just too much. I love instead the aluminium bezel and the big plus is the dial design. Subdials are not so clutter and respect the omega original model. Really cool. All in all, they got plenty of room for a second version for this watch. We'll see. Excellent video by the way and pretty informative.

I'm not sure if you're completely honest here. The pagani is so much better than this one and HALF the price. You're going to split hairs about a 2 millimeter taper on the bracelet and concave subdials? You're outright lying about the brushing on the watchdive. At 10:40, you can clearly see on the video the very sloppy brushing on the case, visible scatchmarks by the brush. The pagani brushing is flawless. The case on the WD is boring and huge, The crown and the pushers are way too big,. Meanwhile, on the PD, slim and well proportioned case and perfect size crown and pushers, sapphire bezel, not ceramic, high end brushing. I'm not sure why you had to change the crystal on the 1701, I have a version six, and the crystal is amazing. For some reason, you believe the WD is better than the PD in every metric? Big pass on this dud.

@@akiblue my experience could be different from yours. I have the V3 Pagani and the brushing was pretty poor, the transitions to polished had over brushing, and the crown side "strip" of brushing was inconsistent. A lot of the speedy appeal (to me) is in the dial and bezel insert, and the PD just never felt right, the sunken subdials don't look good toe at all, the ceramic (yes it's ceramic on the black model, sapphire on only a couple colors) bezel looks cheap, and the crystal on early V3's like mine lacked any AR...later models may be better but I doubt any better than the WD version which is excellent. And it's more than just those things....it's a nicer bracelet, mine does have better case finishing overall, the bracelet is not as sharp and is finished to a higher standard, and the lume is much better. So to me, it hits the right boxes and I love wearing it, where I never loved wearing the Pagani. And now WD have revised the case to be much slimmer (looking) and closer to the omega case along with other minor improvements. What I'm saying is...I like the WD for the things it does right (for me) and you like the Pagani for things it does right, and that's OK

@EscapeWheel agreed! 😀 This made me appreciate the omega so much more. I think I'll start saving for the real thing.

Don't buy a Speedy homage even if you really want one, buy a Seiko mechaquartz or a Seagull and save the real deal for your grail. I've yet to see a good homage of the thing, and that includes the Moonswatch.

This is a decent homage but perfection would mean automatic rather than quartz. Still way better value and higher quality than an Omega x Swatch Moonswatch and way cheaper

Lume is the biggest draw for me here. But that case shape! I hate to say it, but it's ugly. And coin edge caseback? Why? Let's see if V2 addresses these issues.

Not watchdives best work. That mid case thickness is a NO NO….. Pagani looks much nicer especially side by side. Bring on V2……

Since when is an Alu bezel better than ceramic? OK it looks better, but come back after a month on the wrist. The Alu will be scratched and then suddenly the PD will look sooo much better....

@@boomshanka8743 Totally agree with boomshanka. Alu bezel will age nicely. Look at any vintage Rolex or Seiko or whatever brand watch photo and see how absolutely amazing they look all faded and distressed and scratched and worn. It's called character. Ceramic will still look almost new - BORING!!! And if it only takes a month to scratch up an Alu bezel I must be doing something wrong as I've been wearing my Seiko SRPD heavily for three years and not a mark on it anywhere.

The alu bezel is the reason I don't wear my vintage speedmaster anymore. That dot over 9 bezel doesnt need patina in the wrong place.
