Steelsive has the correct bi rotational bezel. All GMT watches with a 24 hr marked bezel should have a bi directional bezel. It’s not a dive watch … it’s a GMT watch. The bi directional bezel will usually have 24 clicks to allow for 30 min time increments on the GMT scale. It’s not supposed to have a 120 click uni directional bezel nor does it need to have the same bezel action as a diver. I think steelsive have done a good job here and not many of these Rolex clonages have the correct bi directional bezel. Kudos to steeldive.

After tons of research on watching so many videos I think the steeldive will be the watch for me

[@markthomas741]

Typical Pagani they've rarely made a decent rotating bezel or good lume, of the two though I'd buy the Pagani! lol

[@artempar-us8xu]

BTW, The Pagani Design bezel insert is Ceramic, it just looks like aluminum

[@ShortBetter]

Red blue and red black are aluminium 😊

[@artempar-us8xu]

@@ShortBetter You're actually right, I just read on their website (Pagani Watches) and they say it's a high-strength aluminum. I thought it was ceramic because I have Pepsi and Batgirl, they weigh the same at 146 gr. I also have a watch with a bezel insert that looks like aluminum - but I pulled that one from a bezel casing, and it was actually ceramic... my bad!

[@nuhuh9893]

I wish someone would make an homage of the older pre-ceramic era Rolex GMTs with the smaller numbers on the bezel. These look quite chunky but I would probably take the Steeldive just for the longer lasting lume and the fact it has the same colour lume on dial and bezel, the bi-directional bezel is also a really nice touch.

[@coolti44]

I've had both. Get the Steeldive. I love it! Ceamic bezel and great movement!

[@MehmetOguzTR]

Hi, If you still have both watches could you please try to switch bracelets between them. I want to upgrade my pagani with steeldive bracelet. Please let me know if it's a viable option.

[@ShortBetter]

Yes, the bracelet fits perfectly

[@coolti44]

@@MehmetOguzTR yup; both 20mm so should be an even swap.

[@dietmarsever9147]

Ihr müsst mal die Uhren von Gigandet vergleichen. Mit einem Schweizer Uhrwerk selita sw 330 . Die sieht optisch gleich aus. Der Preis ist 880,- Euro. Die lünette ist aus keramik. Ein sehr interessantes Video.

[@JG-od3xy]

Thank you for mentioning Gigandet, I like a couple of their vintage series dive watches

[@wingi7722]

Hi there - Great Video mate! Now I actually own a Steeldive GMT and I love it! Big bang for buck . As I do a lot of snorkeling the 300M water resistance is important. It's also one of my most luminous watches - considerably brighter than my SKX and brighter for longer than my Doxa. I also prefer the 41mm to my 40mm Cronos GMT which is just too small for my eyes to enjoy. I get the feel of the GMT Explorer II without the big dollars whereas the Pagani definitely wouldn't give me that feeling. Even though the SD maybe twice the price of the PD what you've got to remember is that it's just $100 more and the specs and quality are well worth the extra $100.

[@MrJumpol48]

Thanks for the comparison, could you review pagani rootbeer GMT too? I want to know how pink number on the bezel, maybe I can swap it later if it was too pink (I saw your modified rootbeer GMT, the number is not pink at all). Thanks,

[@ShortBetter]

The modded GMT one has a different insert. There are a few shades of rootbeer inserts

[@tahirhussain1755]

Why do u think bezel of Steeldive is bad??? Is it a manufacturing fault bec normally steeldive is famous for its precise bezel movement. What do u say????

[@ShortBetter]

That bezel is different from any other SD watches. It's bi-rotational, feels very light, and makes really awful sound😅

@@ShortBetter The AliExpress sales are a scam xD After midnight passed the offer I was looking at was raised by around 15 usd and after applying the code the real discount I got from the original price was about 5 usd. Bit still, I managed to buy it for around 160 dollars

Please make Yachtmaster Slate for Pagani and Steeldive. Thanks

[@darrenfry4695]

Steeldive is a great made watch

[@ShortBetter]

It is!

[@BroAriq]

Steeldive all the way, just bcs the lume is better on SD, if you talk about San Martin it will be no brainer to choose San Martin

[@lovemeifudar3]

hi，did the pagani bracelet size same as rolex? can i change it with rolex rubber one? because at my country, i cant find pagani rubber strap, all i can get from online is rolex rubber strap

[@ShortBetter]

@lovemeifudar3 yes, I think it's pretty much the same and should fit. Use 20mm size

[@lovemeifudar3]

@@ShortBetter thanks a lot

[@newyerusalem1]

The Steeldive bezel clicks kinda. How do I say it, sending it back.

[@adk7962]

Thanks for the great comparison. If you have 50 watches you don’t wear, you have a different set of problems. 😅. Thanks again!

[@ShortBetter]

Hahaha

[@EudesRJ]

Pagani Design = better (discreet) logo/branding Steeldive = better watch, worse logo I love my Pagani “AirKing” PD-1692(V1) but it have almost no lume, it didn’t last 5 minutes. Got an Addiesdive GMT (same problem was Steeldive, the ugly diver logo, should be just written “addies” on the dial) and it have amazing lume, the best I ever saw in person.

[@Laufer88]

The only GMT homage you can get with NH34 and bi-rotating bezel under 100€ is Oumashi. I bought myself Pepsi, Rootbeer and Rose gold. I'm quite satisfied with them...better than Pagani anyway. You should try them. 😊

[@ShortBetter]

Thanks, I will check it out right now

[@lesfideles3554]

I bought a Paganii GMT and the 24 hour hand had no relatiobship at all to the current time and would spin arpund the dials mutltiple times when chang9ng the hour hand 12 hours. Piece of shat the worst of the worst of ohmages or should I say fakes. The idiots at pagani play dumb. Worst watches I have ever purchased for QC. May look good but IMO they just plain ole suck.

[@ShortBetter]

I have good news for you. You can return the watch if it's defective. That's life, things happen :) Apply for a refund if you order from Aliexpress. Take good quality photo/video, write clear explanation of your problem and they will return you the money, I'm pretty sure
