I have Pagani, San Martin, Ingersoll, Vostok, Poljot, Orient, Orient Star and even a hated Invicta watch in my collection. Frankly they all look good on the wrist especially when using different bracelets and straps. I also have Seiko and a genuine Omega but the more of the cheaper brands I experience the more I feel ripped off by the expensive brands. All but a few of my watches are automatic, some manual, some quartz, some solar, they all keep good time but the one that keeps perfect time and I mean within a second a day is my Poljot homage to a 1962 Omega Seamaster which looks nothing like today's Seamasters. It cost me £75 delivered from Ukraine and is just a nice watch. I truly think there is a lot of watch snobbery in the world and a lot of emporers new clothes especially with Rolex.

[@TheCompton2010]

All invictas are hated.

[@mraidymaddful]

I just got mine today and I love it. Ali Express said it would be here in 7 days and it was here in 7 days. Can't complain!! I didn't get the adjustment tool for the bracelet so I had to use push pins and a wooden peg to alter it. But after a few choice words and finger stabbings I got two links out and now it fits (more or less) perfectly. Gonna sleep in it tonight to see how it feels. I showed it to my neighbour across the road and he immediately offered me £25 more than I paid for it, lol. I also got the NATO strap with the watch. I am wearing that on my empty wrist, lol............

The only two changes I would wish for is a shorter bracelet as I had to remove every available link and adjust to the smallest micro adjustment to fit my 6 1/2” wrist. The other change would be to have an aluminum bezel instead of ceramic. Still it’s hard to complain for the price and this version 3 is so much better with white hands and indices. Over all I’m happy with mine.

[@richardkuehn7015]

I just received a blue Speedy V2 and am very happy with it and I’ve got a genuine 2015 Omega black face for comparison and as I said am very happy with it. I’d happily pay a bit more if they added an anti glare coating, screw pins and not interference fit pins on the bracelet.

[@jorgerobles628]

One of the best reviews, if not the best, of this Pagani homage watch. The only think I would add to this is that the minute track in the Pagani only shows 2 divisions between ever minute, while the Omega Speedmaster shows 4. I know, Omega itself is not accurate regarding this and the 21600 VPH, but it is still the part of the Ethos of the Speedmaster, and is accepted as it is, is a Watch with the Greatest History of ANY Chronograph associated with the Greastest Feat of Humanity out of this World!!!!

[@rostokmcspoons]

Just received mine this morning. Your review is spot on, except my bracelet doesn't feel jangly nor does it rattle, though it can still bend sideways in the same way as yours. The end links are well-fitted, so basically I think they may have tightened the tolerances somewhat. It's a really nice watch, and at the price is an undeniable bargain. I had the older panda daytona homage, but this is definitely superior. I especially like the fact the chrono pushers are not screw down - having to undo them first basically creates a very big 'speed bump' to using the functionality. Having them always available is a big bonus. The white hands on the black dial are much more readable. It's excellent.

Good review ( as ever). I am hankering for a panda in my collection for some reason & no A/R makes me pause ( an upgrade for V4?) on an immediate purchase but ask me in a month 's time....

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Jay. Glad you enjoyed it. I don't think Pagani Design will upgrade to using AR coating on the PD-1701 due to the increased production cost. They work on a business model of massive production volume, with minimal profit margin on their wholesale price per piece. For example, 1 USD production cost saved per piece, is the same as 100K USD profit margin on a batch of 100K pieces. From a collectors perspective they would happily pay an extra 5 USD retail increase for AR coating, but the wholesale margin per piece wouldn't justify it for the factory. Regards, #WR4K

[@jaysterling26]

@@watchreviews4k Indeed. Their business model has been good so far. I do agree with you about us consumers happily paying more to get a better lume & AR. Perhaps I should upgrade the crystal myself ( purely rhetorical as my middle name is ' klutz')? Cheers.

Ah… Answering my own question, that would be the PD-1651, which I think you reviewed with a blue-black faded dial. I might go for the silver bezel-silver dial.

[@donbrough6386]

Great review. Pagani Design's strategy appears to be to produce to a distinct price-point, which I believe is why they keep costs down with the lack of AR, the pressed extension and poor luminova, etc. Very different to San Martin, where quality is improving significantly from feedback but prices are increasing as a consequence. There's a market for both I suppose but I wouldn't be surprised if San Martin aren't the go-to Chinese quality watch brand in a couple of years with the QC efforts they are making.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Don. Glad you enjoyed it. "There's a market for both I suppose but I wouldn't be surprised if San Martin aren't the go-to Chinese quality watch brand in a couple of years with the QC efforts they are making." Agreed. San Martin have replaced Seiko, and Steinhart, as the number one low-tier brand for collectors. For collectors with a lower budget Pagani Design dominate that price point. What often happens is collectors will buy several Pagani Design, then want better QC, lume, and bezel action; so buy a San Martin to get these enhancements. I would like to see San Martin slow down on the number of new releases they are outputting, and focus more on improving the existing models. Pagani Design and San Martin have found their own sweet spots in the market, 100-150 Euro, and 250-350 Euro respectively. This means they don't compete head-to-head with target customers within the same market. They operate different business models; Pagani Design work on massive volume batch production, with lower QC, and low wholesale profit margin per piece. They can do this as they manufacture all parts in house. San Martin produce a much lower volume, with higher QC, and higher profit margin per piece. They disadvantage is they buy in parts from other factories such as; dials, crows, cases, etc; then assemble them at their own factory. Regards, #WR4K

[@grahamyoung622]

Great review, John. The problem with the style of bracelet used here has been highlighted in one of previous reviews, if I remember correctly. The lack of AR is still a concern, however, with the white hands on the black dial that doesn't appear to be a major problem here. Good looking piece. A number of comments have touched on the case size being a little large for smaller wristed blokes, with a 40mm variant being a popular suggestion. A 47mm lug to lug on a 42mm case actually wears a little smaller than one would think, esp. due to the female pivoted endlinks. As you suggested, if the bracelet isn't to everyone's taste or is unable to be fitted comfortably to purchasers with smaller wrists, a rubber or, preferably, a leather strap would work well. Your comments re clear AR on the underside of the crystal and improved lume with a modest price increase are spot on. Unfortunately Pagani Design don't share your thoughts...which have been expressed with pretty much every PD watch reviewed on your channel.Thanks again for your informative review.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Graham. Yes, its a shame Pagani Design won't upgrade to AR coating, and Superluminova; as collectors would be willing to pay more for these enhancements. Also a 40mm version would be very popular with collectors that have a 6-7" wrist. Regards, #WR4K

Thie 1701 V3 looks absolutely gorgeous! The white indices and hands really enhanced the piece over the V2. It’s good that Pagani is still using the female endlinks bc I think even Omega is now using male endlinks and some Chinese brand switched to that aswell, unfortunately. If I’d need a watch on a leather strap, this would be a no-brainer, but i don’t need it and with the summer approaching, I wouldn’t wear a leather strap often anyways. So it’s unfortunate that they couldn’t improve their QC or whatever the issue really is on the bracelet! It does look great on that honey leatherstrap you showed it on in your community post.

I must say that I have really enjoyed your review of an Homage to my long wished for Grail, that being the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. The newest version PD-1701 V3 "Moon Watch" has really piqued my interest. Although I would like to acquire this style model with a mechanical movement, such as the Phylida ST1901 but alas, there do not seem to be any of this particular model of watch available. So, I am thrilled to hear that you think so highly of the Seiko VK 63 Meca-Quartz. Now, with that very important aspect of a quality movement settled I am ready to focus on the aesthetics which as you very thoroughly shown to be vastly improved over the V1 and V2 variants which are IMO completely inferior to the V3 and as such a complete deal breaker for me. I truly appreciate your excellent use of high resonance camera work and, especially all of the varied angles employed to show every possible view exhibiting the most realistic look at this interesting timepiece. Your reviews, WR4K, have quickly become my favorite go to channel when deciding whether to "pull the trigger" on any certain watch. It is your knowledge and description of the watch at hand that helps me make an informed decision about the potential purchase. Such is the case that led me to my last acquisition, the PD 1644 White "Daytona Homage." All in all, your professional style, camera work, positioning and descriptions of your subjects help me greatly when the time comes for said decision making. Please keep up your quality work as I enjoy this channel on a repeated basis. Cheers, Tim

[@Doty6String]

[@itxofficial8281]

Looks like Pagani Design actually listened to their customers. Since the introduction of their "Alaska Project" homage, they've also upgraded the older V3 models to include AR coating now - without, and that is a very important point, increasing the price whatsoever! So for 104 Euros you're getting an excellent Speedmaster homage with a domed sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel insert, exceptional finishing on the case and caseback, VK63 movement and white hands/indices for great legibility. Now, the ONLY negative is the C3 Luminova, which is totally accepted for the low asking price. Bottom line: If you like the design of the Omega Speedmaster but look for a decent and cheap alternative, the PD-1701 V3 is the only logical choice!

I got the blue one. How did you find getting the bracelet back on after trying a different strap? The numbers on the bezel were slightly faded on mine. I didnt mind it too much because it gave it a vintage look.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. I had no difficulty refitting the bracelet. Regards, #WR4K

[@phillipbailey70]

I find it tricky using a standard tool to refit solid end link bracelets, so I bought myself one of those pinching caliper types that squeeze and hold both ends fully in at the same time - much easier with one of those ;-)

[@sersweetgooch8044]

Great review! Glad to see the v3 loves up to the hype. Perhaps next review you could throw it on a few straps or does the female end link in the bracelet kinda forbid that? I heard the v2 and 1 were strap monsters, does this also fit that bill? Either way, great vid and thanks!

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. See my Community post. I am now wearing it on a leather strap. I will be showing this in my SOTC review soon. Regards, #WR4K

[@PpaStrmpf]

That's the way they should done it long ago. White hands give legibility and are mora accurate. I'd say if you do homage and change something the original had that will improve it I'd go with it. Even if it deviates from original design. After all we do not need replicas. Your review videos do have positive criticism which I appreciate. For the money PD did excellent job. If the bracelet gets really good I would have no problem with price increase.

@@watchreviews4k it'll be my first Pagani. I think I chose the right one.

[@tablameister]

The JDM Seiko SBTR027 is a similar homage to the Omega, thought the color is a different. The Seiko can be had for around $150, so more than the PD, but still very affordable, espeically for a Seiko.

[@wed265]

John great review. This has now become one of my favorite pieces. And I didn't think I would like chronographs because of too much going on. The time is very easy to see and very legible. But this watch seems to have great wrist presents on my 7 & A Quarter inch wrist. I think I'm starting to like it more than my san Martin bb-58 blue and my Kronos Rolex Submariner. What do you think?

Pd 1644 (Daytona) or pd 1701? Confused in between the two

The stock bracelet does not reduce enough to fit my 6.25" wrist. Luckily enough, my Omega bracelet fits the case.

Hi John, I can get this speed master watch right now for 74.00 us dollars in the sale right now. U said it was a 105.00 euro. I should get this watch right now for that price correct ?? I don't have any chronographs in my collection. Also which one do you believe to be a nicer cooler watch, this speedy or the white Daytona?? Thank you ray

[@watchreviews4k]

74 USD is an excellent price Ray. I like both the PD-1727, and PD-1701; owning both in my collection. The white PD-1644 is also excellent. The only thing to note is the PD-1701 bracelet has sharp edges on the bracelet. The PD-1644, and PD-1727 don't. Regards, #WR4K

I just recently happened upon your 4k watch reviews, you have the best review format Ive seen so far with your simple and concice presentation. Would you also take a look at their new V2 of the Tudor Homage? I'm currently torn between the blue one and this Speedmaster, the first looks outragously good with the removal of the text font beneath the logo which I believe to be a great choice, the Pagani logo actually looks much better without the text in my opinion.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Phillip. Glad you enjoy my content. I appreciate the suggestion. Regards, #WR4K

[@stephenhaynes603]

good video on a nice piece . i have noted that with the watch sitting upright and seconds hand parked at rest 12 clock, the pagani logo in the light appears similar to the omega logo! i did laugh to my self when i noticed it. watch was sitting around watch cushion in upright position. also the newer version the bezel font follows the pcd of the bezel as opposed to in parallel format . i sent one back because this does detract from the item it is homaging. 🥰

[@user-zq8su4md2n]

I think it will be the best budget watch if it has more powerful lume.

[@gen2-x364]

Like the VK63. The white hands and markers are a very nice and needed upgrade. I have a white dial with a blue bezel with silver hands and markers and that's the only reason I didn't like it because of the reflections. Might just get this watch....it's a smart-looking watch for the money. Bracelets on the Pagani watches are usually their weak point.....I just plan on switching out the strap on the Pagani watches. I actually put an Omega rubber strap with a deployment clasp.

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching. Yes, it would really benefit from AR coating. Hopefully they will add it to a V4. They have been introducing AR coating on the PD-1733 Milguass, and PD-1692 Air-King, and Explorer homages. Regards, #WR4K

Hey man! I hate big watches but I'm not sure if this is big. I'm wearing a seiko srpd79, which has 42mm case diameter, and I'm okay with it. But this watch, although they have identical case diameters, seems bigger. Why? Should I get this?

[@watchreviews4k]

Thank you for watching Adam. To answer your question I need to know your wrist size. This piece suits a 7-8" wrist as the 42mm case is tall; and therefore can feel top heavy on a 6-7" wrist. Regards, #WR4K

​@@watchreviews4k MMD is correct in that the advertising specs of the V3 clearly state the diameter as being 40mm, so the fact that it is actally 42mm is clearly misleading advertising. I know that you have mentioned in previous reviews that sometimes specs on Aliexpress are incorrect.

[@watchreviews4k]

@@grahamyoung622 I am not the admin of the stores AliExpress listings, therefore not responsible for their specification errors. I get these type of comments on many of my videos when I correctly state the dimension, and then viewers tell me the AliExpress specification differs. I then have to repeat the same explanation; I measure every watch I review with my digital vernier caliper. "MMD is correct in that the advertising specs of the V3 clearly state the diameter as being 40mm". In that case MMD can report it to the store and get it corrected. Using my channel as a platform to do this doesn't get it done. "I know that you have mentioned in previous reviews that sometimes specs on Aliexpress are incorrect." Yes, I have; multiple times. However viewers still question the dimensions I state in my videos repeatedly. You said its 42mm, but on AliExpress it says 40mm, etc. At the start of every review I detail the; case diameter, lug to lug, thickness, lug width. All dimensions measured myself using my digital vernier caliper. Over 250 watches reviewed, all following the same format; stating the correct dimensions I have measured. Despite this I repeatedly get comments like; "I know that you have mentioned in previous reviews that sometimes specs on Aliexpress are incorrect." If you know that, then you don't need to comment about it. "so the fact that it is actally 42mm is clearly misleading advertising." Agreed, this is the reality of AliExpress. Collectors are well aware that many images are Photoshopped, or rendered images, rather than real photographs. They are also aware many specifications contain errors. This is why they watch my reviews to get the actual dimensions, and specifications, which I have verified as correct. It's a time sink for me to reply to these kind of comments repeatedly; questioning the dimensions/specifications I have stated; as if I would mistake a 40mm piece for a 42mm. Regards, #WR4K
