I think for under $150, it’s not bad. For $200, they were a bit delusional. I hope they continue to offer better spec watches this year. I like their watches, but I’ve always wanted better specs and was willing to pay for it. Thanks for the great review as always.
Wearing the Longines Spirit Zulu Time in green bezel with anthracite dial as I watch! What a coincidence! 😊 PD makes a decent homage for the price but I’ll stick with my Longines. 😊
I love this watch, but i hate the price because of the shortcomings. If i could get this for $110-120, I'd snap this up... it sucks because this is probably my favorite current design on aliexpress but it has a few to many negative aspects.
Case looks like a dead ringer for the 1672 'pagani premium' - maybe just the crown guards filed off - which also started higher priced but you can now regularly get for like sub-40 bucks with discounts. Is also very chunky - if anybody finds a caseback that slims it down, please post a link...
Surely, if Pagani were truly listening to their customers, they'd put more lume on the watches. It's usually always their biggest let down, as for the most part, the watches are good vfm. If Steeldive can do it for the price, then why can't Pagani ??
Not a fan of greens, have the blue "plain" model, so i'll have to wait. Plus, the price will fall... Thanks for the review Steve, happy new year mate, enjoy whatever you love.
It's a good looking watch but there's a lot of competition at the current price point. I can't take it seriously with the diver bezel action on a GMT watch
I appreciate that they went with a nice olive green and I think it’s much more wearable than the loud bold greens that are common. IMO it would have looked better with a cleaner bezel design though, it looks too cluttered paired with the already busy dial & chapter ring. I also wish watch makers would stop pairing orange accents with green and blue dials. I can pick my own color combinations with the clothes I wear, and since I never where bright orange with green or blue it just becomes an extra color that looks out of place.
I had the sprite...same watch. This one's nicer in every way excepts lume...but that wasn't good either. This one's case finishing is much nicer, bezel is nicer, dial has more details, bracelet, while not super nice, is better.
Can know how many more removable links left after u size up the watch? My wrist is only 15cm/5.9 inch. U think can fit? I got experience with Pagani watches I remove all links still too loose for my wrist 😅

Agreed, thanks for watching!
Its a good start , the Zulu Time is the most beautiful gmt on the market in 39mm. Wait for the San Martin version
I'm far too broke for San Martin
That clasp is a throwback to the state of Ali hommages in 2020. It's a hard-pass criteria for 2024!
I personally don't think it's that bad. I like this better than those they put on their Rolex homages.
The lume spoils them for me. This looks fantastic though.

Probably in another 6 months or so 👍
I want a PD with a date. The 'no date guys' are more than catered for now.
Real lol
Agree it is too thick, Corgeut makes an NH34 Explorer homage at 11.9m, although the explorer doesn't have rotating bezel

Dial should be 'anthracite' if it's following the OG, you are right it's a gray/deep green color.
Nice Watch, a little too thick, also the movement is ugly so forget the display case... bracelet is crap too but the watch is great.

What is the 12mm thick watch you showed us?

Agreed. Orange is the color they are all going with...but a simple white, or maybe tan, or even a different shade of green would be cool.
the orange touch is a very good idea...
Not an easy watch to homage seems a good try considering price will drop in next sale
yup, I'm curious how lot it'll go.
I would love a comparison between this one and the Pepsi PD, in terms of build quality

Thanks for the video, a beautiful watch but does not justify its high price in my opinion
Just waiting for the homage to the 18k version :-)
Beige strap
Hey Steve, what was the dark brown strap you had on?

Amazing strap for $18
Can know how many more removable links left after u size up the watch? My wrist is only 15cm/5.9 inch. U think can fit? I got experience with Pagani watches I remove all links still too loose for my wrist 😅
3 links left to remove. Approximately 1 inch, plus some micro adjusts. My guess is it won't fit you
Thanks
Longines Zulu Time. Exactly. :P
The endlink fit is a no for me
