Yes, it's certainly a nice profit, however the original brand covered here isn't really over the top when it comes to pricing. We should remember that while the Swiss company put the investment and effort into that great design you're looking at, Pagani just copied it and put a cheaper quartz movement into it. That's not a criticism, I have a Pagani myself! I'm just putting into context. There is a different cost parameter between designing a watch and copying a watch.
@@brianmsahin if you spread the design cost over 100.000s of produced watches, you don’t end up with a much higher cost. 2nd thing is that all Swiss brands are using Chinese produced parts. All brands are using a minor till a major part of their components from China. Almost all cases, movement parts, crystals etc. Of course you don’t need to believe me.
It's because the people making Swiss watches get payed for their time. Also vacation, insurance, and retirement are payed for by the people buying the product they made. Most companies invest in their employees. Not China, the government owns 50% of everything and their are plenty of people willing to work 996
I’ve got a stack of Pagani watches Steve & honestly they are so well made & very good value! I love the chrono pushers!😎👍🏼 P.s. Yeah it’s “time” they dropped the name & used the logo!
As always Steve, you make the best watch reviews for all my Chinese watch needs! Thinking about getting the reverse panda dial - what are your thoughts on it?
It's a great looking watch, I definitely like this color blue better than the automatic version, also the chrono pushers, dial layout is nice too. I'll be putting this on the list of considerations. Thanks Steve!
I bought that watch for 65$ and its a stunner. Really beautiful and well made. Unfortunately mine has got something glued on one of the sub-dials, nothing large but noticeable. I asked for 25$ partial return and got it. So paid 40$ for that beauty. But now I've got to open it one day to remove that thing. But they really could finally remove that ugly, cheap looking "Pagani Deisgn" text and leave the logo.
Whoa…. I love the look of this watch! That bind of the link looks like the link might have been put upside down, or you may just have to dremel that link a little. The dial color is the type of blue that I love, and looks much better than the color of the auto version. Overall, wonderful review! It would be great if Pagani used a Citizen Meca-quartz version with an hour elapsed sub dial, instead of the worthless 24 hour sub dial, but oh well
Agreed. I hate that 24 hour hand - totally useless. It would be passable if it could be used as a GMT hand, but as it is - useless. I've missed out on a lot of watches because of the VK movements in them. I'd just be so annoyed by that subdial that it would ruin the experience for me.
Probably not easily. Finding one that would fit is one thing, but my guess is you'd have to ream the holes bigger to fit springbars through to attach to the new clasp. But I don't have the watch any more so I can't say for sure.
@@EscapeWheel like this watch without date but worried that I won't have fit right as no micro adjust. Any suggestions on prx chrono homage style with micro adjust clasp?
@@rsg5850 none that I have seen, sadly. But the Specht&Sohne looks to have half links. May be worth a look. Also seems to be well made from the reviews I've read
@@EscapeWheel that brand looks interesting.. Thanks. Shame the PD didn't have half links, would have bought it but had sizing issues with previous butterfly clasp.
@@rsg5850 yeah S&S looks promising...they have some interesting models and good prices. Haven't experienced one yet, but I feel like it's time. No doubt using rep parts and just branding them their own, but who isn't these days 🤷
Bought the white and black panda and I regret it so much cos immediately after my purchase i saw how the blue looks and fell in love. Went back to buy the blue one and now the discounted priced ones are out of stock😢
Today my came and im not sure is top pusher the best. Bottom one is ok and even when im press gently it works,but top one i need to push all the way down to work. If i push it just gently sometimes it doesnt start/stop stopwatch. Is that normal?
Awesome b-roll shots. I wish more TH-cam watch reviewers would do the same instead of showing us 10 minutes of 2 hands holding a watch. Keep up the good work! 😊👍
Thank you! I shoot my reviews like I would like to see a review. It bothers me when it's someone talking about the watch over b-roll for 10 minutes...lol
Great watch for the price! No doubt! I really like it! But you should not break the bracelet with this type of watch 😅 (I don't think PD sell them). Thanks for the review, Steve 👍
Great daily. I have a white" meteorite " style panda, which I really like. Poor marking from machining, but it's fine. It was a great price. If I'm doing a lot of hand movements like if I was at work, I wear quartz. It is a watch made by humans for humans. Not the top 90%. It's a great watch. Watch strategy just changed again. I will buy one. Just the poor lume kills me. For the amount of lume that is in that watch. It would worth it to put on. Charge me for it. If not I have to a hand set dial that is the price of the watch. That's watch crazy talk. Cheers
@@EscapeWheel Those AliExpress store links that you leave down below whenever you post a video, they are not the same Pagani flagship store, you keep posting links of various Pagani stores.
@@aakishkaushik correct. The links are to the stores that send me the watch in the specific video. They are all legit Pagani Design dealers. I work with 3 or 4 different dealers. Sometimes certain stores have certain watches as well. But all are trustworthy 👍
Well done review! Thx for sharing. Pagani are actually quite good for what you pay,...hav a few. The Auto would be my choice. The Dial on the Chrono jz looks a little cheaper than I'm use too. Cheers man!
It's nice we have an option for this case/bracelet. My big issue with the auto were the flat hands and the dull color to the dial. But still a good option.
better than the real tissot and cost less lol. Original tisssot doesnt have micro adjustable bracelet, the second hand is not lining up and it has no chronograph
Got the megalith version of this on a recommendation of another YTer, I would not recommend it myself, too many problems for a YT comment. Looks like from this vid I would try again with this version
Horrible lume is expected and it really is too bad the bracelet does not include half links for a proper fit adjustment. If not for that bracelet this would be on my wish list, but as is I have to pass.
Excuse me , but you dont have wrist and arm for watches. You should be lumberjack, cutting wood with that huge arms... Watches are delicate art, it doesnt suit you arm. Your wrist is to big for any watch...
What the Chinese are proving us is that the Swiss brands are charging us unrealistic high profit margins.
Oh for sure. Especially when some are using Chinese factories for their watches.

The Swiss have been laughing at us for over 75 years !
Just found this channel, great quality video and descriptions of the watch. keep up the amazing work. Loving the look of that watch!
I’ve got a stack of Pagani watches Steve & honestly they are so well made & very good value! I love the chrono pushers!😎👍🏼 P.s. Yeah it’s “time” they dropped the name & used the logo!
Can't argue with their value, that's for sure.
As always Steve, you make the best watch reviews for all my Chinese watch needs!

Thanks, man! Much appreciated.
I think all the color ways look awesome on this model. I say go for it!

Thanks for watching Stephen!
Very nice review. They are crazy cheap now.. Looks amazing. Was thinking to pick the blue on 11.11, but I pass because of the butterfly clasp..
Ok, it cannot be accused of being original but pretty good for the price. It would definitely look good on the wrist!
Definitely not...lol. but it's hard to beat for the money and not a DIRECT copy at least.

Heck of a deal! Hope it's not too hard to remove.
Agree about the logo only option
Just received the watch today for $39.00. Absolutely amazing watch
I order it today for 32$ cant be more Happy 😁
insane deal...enjoy it!

Thanks for the video. Great shots!!!
why doesn't the second hand move ?
The main seconds hand is for chronograph timing only. The subdial at 6 is your running seconds hand (runs all the time)
@@EscapeWheel Thank you very much sir. I enjoy your content
Mine has some rusts on the bracelet 😢

Is it possible to remove the bracelet? I have one but the pins seem to be stuck
I'm sure it is, but I never teied
Anyone found a rubber bracelet that would fit? Thanks!
Just bought it for 48 euros on sale, can’t wait for it to arrive
Bought the white and black panda and I regret it so much cos immediately after my purchase i saw how the blue looks and fell in love. Went back to buy the blue one and now the discounted priced ones are out of stock😢
Hi,
I have the same watch and I’ve tried to adjust de bracelet but I can’t take put the links..! Are they screwed? Hi did you do that?? Thanks!
No, just push pins. Remove them by pushing in the direction of the arrows on the inside of the links
bruh, I really confused.. I really like how simple the auto is, but the chrono dial color and the hands are just better..
Ur wrist size?
7.5".
for future reference, I state my wrist size during the outdoor wrist shots....you'd miss it without audio, though.
Today my came and im not sure is top pusher the best. Bottom one is ok and even when im press gently it works,but top one i need to push all the way down to work. If i push it just gently sometimes it doesnt start/stop stopwatch. Is that normal?
There's usually a little squish (soft) a hard stop, and then a snap for the pusher.
Is the bracelet interchangeable with a prx?
No idea, but I seriously doubt it is
Awesome b-roll shots. I wish more TH-cam watch reviewers would do the same instead of showing us 10 minutes of 2 hands holding a watch.
Keep up the good work! 😊👍
Thank you! I shoot my reviews like I would like to see a review. It bothers me when it's someone talking about the watch over b-roll for 10 minutes...lol
Great Reviews
Would this look good on my 8inch wrist?
Seemed a little big for my 7.5" wrist so yeah, should work well on an 8 -incher
It just looks awesome, congrats!
this really looks nice, I am intrigued by it... feeling tempted to buy it
what's the exact model this is homaging
Tissot PRX chronograph.
Wrist size ?
@@c.s.herman860 7.5"
Stunning!!!!
When I click on the watch link the watch is sold for 100 dollars?
Which country? For US I am still seeing $70.99
Denmark…I guess it varies.
@@lassejupin6684 yes I deed. Wish I could find prices for everywhere but that's just not possible, sadly
Looks great for what it is but the finish level is no where close to a prx
Is it 20x better?
You sound a bit like the person who voices Tom Servo in Mystery Science Theatre 3000…which is a good thing!
Haha, thanks! Been a long time since I have seen a MST episode. Going to have to go back and watch! 🤣
Thanks for watching the review!
Excellent review, it's a nice looking watch. That dial is very attractive. 👍
Great watch for the price! No doubt!
I really like it! But you should not break the bracelet with this type of watch 😅 (I don't think PD sell them).

Thanks, Jonathan....gotta be careful with the bracelet for sure ☺️

Its going for £35 pounds right now, just ordered my one.
Interesting... that seems like a Zenith El Primero hommage. The blue is definitely the winner.
A Tissot PRX homage
Ok ok ok ok... Damn it, I will buy the damn watch
Haha
Yes the kink in my bracelet is annoying me alot.
I'm very happy with that
I like the design, if it were 37mm it might be perfect. Bracelet needs to taper more.
This would be perfect in that 37/38 size, Nd yeah, thrown an extra 4mm of taper on the bracelet and it would be awesome.

Wonder if you're happy with it? 😂
Your review gave the company the motivation to raise the price to $120. No thanks.

It's a Tissot PRX Chronograph knock-off !!!! why didn't mention it you liar !!!!!!!
My channel got deleted for mentioning such things in the past. Not taking any chances.
Cry baby 😢😢😢
