I just bought one and it does not have the problems mentioned. This video is a year old, so I am guessing Pagani has fixed them. I am certainly enjoy mine with both the Milanese bracelet and the NATO strap. The No Time to Die black root beer colour scheme works well with the supplied black NATO strap.
@@ytrezazerty1 Correct! The PD-1685 is the corresponding model to the 300M and he should have purchased that one. BTW I have both models and as a watch nerd for 50 years plus, these are excellent value. I can't believe how they can reach such quality for the asking price. I just bought another PD-1685 black for just $65!
For a very obvious reason. If the pagani was an original design and not an homage, nobody would ever think to compare them. People want to see them side by side
What I learned is that about 90% of the people care less the brand a man wears. (Cloths, shoes, watch, etc) In life you can opt in to pay for brand or not. There are some items that is worth buying brand in therms of life expectancy for the item. Like anything there items that don’t make difference in that I refer to a watch. Pagani is such unrated brand. You get the same quality or better than other major brands charging 3x time. Is not perfect…. But hey I am no diver or pro. All I need is solid watch that I can tell time and it’s good looking watch to match my outfit.
The latest version I got recently of the '007' (and it's referring to the older design from Pierce Bronson 007) doesn't seem to be plagued by bezel issues, the Planet Ocean style 3-link bracelet is fine and now has a female end link design. Fits and looks better. BTW, you can easily order the factory matching rubber-nylon dive strap straight from the Pagani factory store. It's $20. PS. They now have the black-gold styled "No Time To Die" version available. PS-2.. the 'Seamaster 300M' version with the updated wavy dial and 6 o'clock date window and 9-link Seamaster bracelet (which is done pretty well, but lacks the 007's milled wetsuit extension). It is also rated to 200M WR. I have both models, the blue 007, black 300M, and blue-steel grey 300M. All three are excellent quality. The 300M versions have Lume for the bezel numerals and markers. Also much cheaper from their factory store, or their AliExpress store.
For most people, the difference between 100m and 300m water resistance is meaningless. Heck even 30m to 300m is meaningless - recreational scuba divers aren't certified to go deeper than 30m, and very few snorkelers can dive deeper than 10m. 100m is hella deep!
Oh wow, I follow your cheapaudioman channel for some time now but I'm a watch fan for over 20 years. I'm swiss living in Switzerland, my family was in the watchmaking industry, so I guess that's normal 😄 I always thought it would be interesting to see you review watches. And now here we are 🙌
I just got mine today. I don’t if it’s a “some do some don’t” thing or they fixed it but, my bezel is pretty damn solid and lines up perfectly. Pagani had been nailing their watches lately.
Came here from CAM, I haven’t worn a watch in years, now I’m thinking about getting one. It’s bad enough you’ve got me spending money on speakers (T1+, love them) now you may get me to spend money on a watch!
woah, coming from cheapaudioman channel, first I tought you're just mocking the watch snobs with this video, then I realized it is a real channel! Keep it up, man! :)
Thank you!!! The blue Pagani with the Nato strap looks so "summer" cool....though I prefer the bracelet..... bought it...the bezel on mine has no play like yours...
If you can, save and save some more until you’re able to afford your dream watch - otherwise you’re in danger of spending lots of money on lots of watches you’re not gonna be 💯 % satisfied with. Pay premium for one premium product and have it for life. Keep up the good work Andy 👍
Real question my dream watch is the omega 007, I want to get this but I don’t wanna have a “fake” or anything, though I don’t want to spend 8k on a watch atm
Randy, you have the best Seamaster IMO. Be proud. That Bond watch can start looking like an advertisement after a few weeks. Your Omega seriously looks cool everywhere and in any situation.
I’ve been eye balling the Pagani homage watches for the Paul Newman Dayton and the Steve McQueen Explorer II. I’ll have to give their “Seamasters” a look. When I was looking for the most accurate No Time to Die Seamaster, I went with the super cheap Paulareis because it had the fake helium release valve.
Hi 👋🏼 Randy, I lucked into a vintage blue wave faced Titanium Omega Seamaster that is significantly lighter than the stainless steel model. Tempus fugit
I got the black one free and the rubber strap was broke when it got to me. I threw it on a black leather strap so its a desk diver. I plan to put it into my rotation not because I would try to impress someone or fool them but because its kind of nice looking. Little different than my Zelos, Oceanx and other divers. Just kinda cool and different. Nice videos btw
That's a very nice looking watch! The bezel not lining up and the "play" would drive me nuts! The Seiko movement gives me confidence at this price. Great review! 👍👍👍
Randy: Movie - Ghostbusters. Better Omega homage - Matic Diver 200. It has the wavy dial and some decent color options. $190. Also, Karken Octopus, $250. The Matic is a pretty faithful homage with good build quality. Based on my review of reviews, that’s the one that’s closest to an Omega, but at a “budget friendly” price point.
I WILL TAKE A PAGANI DESIGN WATCH ALL DAY LONG FOR THE PRICE. I BUY A LOT OF THEIR WATCHES WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. I PAID AVERAGE OF £40 ON SALE. GOT 8 IN MY WATCH COLLECTION THEY PUT THE SO CALLED TOP BRANDS TO SHAME.
100M WR is adequate for scuba diving. I've dived plenty with my Seiko sport watches rated to 100M. Usually scuba diving, we only actually go down 100 feet.
Great honest review! I've owned a few Pagani Design watches and they're not bad, I bought them mostly because they were cheap and I was curious. I still have two of them but don't wear them very much, will probably sell them eventually. If you want to check out some better Chinese knockoff brands look at Steeldive, San Martin and SEESTERN. Of coarse they're still not going to come anywhere close to competing with the real watches they're aping, but the quality, in my humble opinion, is a good bit better than Pagani Design. And the lume is a whole lot better too, maybe even better than the original in some cases.
@@cheapwatchman_official I’ve always wanted a Steinhart, particularly the Steve McQueen homage model but have never pulled the trigger. A good friend of mine bought a couple Steinhart watches a few years ago so I know they have US distribution.
I've bought a few Pagani watches and have gifted them all but, one. If you have any high end pieces they make me feel like a poser even though 99.9% of people in my world couldn't care less about timepieces beyond a smart watch.
What's the price comparison? Isn't it unreasonable to compare them to such a high standard? Unless the homage watches concept is ancient and beyond the shade of pale.
Got mine today and it's bloody good. Only gripe is the lume at 11 is even worse than the usual Pagani lume. Bezel is straight without backplay or wobble.
After 4 months, this is one of the watches that accumulated the most wrist time. I switched to a brown leather strap and never thought about switching back to the steel bracelet. It keeps time, is beautiful and robust. After all that wrist time the case, crystal and bezel still look as good as new. What's not to like? I think it's even better looking than the Seamaster as the ugly as feck helium escape wart isn't there to bug me.
You should try swiss micro brand, you can get good deal with solid movement such as ETA 2824 or Sellita SW200. Rolex is overrated, I am swiss, originally from Jura where we manufacture most of the Swiss watch and most people prefer going for micro brand or the swatch group, when you can get a Tissot PRX for less than 800 USD with a powermatic movement that's a really good deal or getting a Glycine navy seal with a sellita SW200 for less than 500 USD that's good deal also.
All Swatchgroup brands in the sub 1500$ range are great. Tissot, Certina, Mido and Hamilton all offer quality pieces with their respective heritage and know-how, can't go wrong with them.
135.00 i love people who even try to compare it to anything 135.00, i bought an 85.00 quartz homage no time to die, it has gone in the pool, in the lake and snorkeling, it even has a fake hrv, i love it, dont care about the play on the bezel or any other such nonsense, 85.00 and it looks great and i love wearing it, keeps great time to, stop with the comparisons, we all get it, its not an omega, give it a rest already
how out of content are you that you’re comparing a pd to an omega 😂 you’re getting a sapphire crystal 100m water and automatic movement for a hundred fucking dollars it’s a steal if that’s your budget
If you are looking at the comments I would suggest you take a look at Octopus Kraken as the spec on it is much better than the Pagani and I am serious about it PT5000 movement, no Skeleton hands, the lum is out of this world and the hits keep rolling on etc
I got mine and its impressive for price and build and also ordered planet ocean. I consider it a placeholder till I get the real one. Backplay has been fixed. I got immediate refund on one I returned.
Decided to buy a LIGE Quartz watch, it only cost me just over $20, and it has the same problem. I will never buy a LIGE watch again……terrible quality, but hey, what can I expect for just over $20.
But if this goes on sale for $30... is it a better buy? Cause I've been scooping up these discount Paganis, and I just feel like they are incredibly watches for $30, and easily puts my SD1970 to shame
Have you thought about pre owned watches? You often can get a watch in excellent condition for pennies on the dollar (OK maybe dimes). I've been tracking the new Bond watch for a while and even on the secondary market it's still very pricey. I'll never buy a watch for retail again. I'm not a big fan of "homage" watches; however, I do own a Tudor Black Bay GMT (Rolex Pepsi). I didn't buy it because I secretly wanted a Pepsi, it was the differences from the Rolex that I liked. I've also found that watches that MSRP at retail for $300 to $500 is a sweet spot for getting bang for the buck, Like the Tissot you own.
absolutely looked at used watches. I didn't go used on my Omega because I didn't want anything to go wrong. I probably could have saved around $1,000 but this event in my life warranted a new watch. I'm still trying to find a very reputable used seller who would stand behind the watches or buy them old enough that if I need to get them serviced it wouldn't be a wash.
@@cheapwatchman_official I get it, I did the same thing with my first watch. That fresh new watch smell and your name on the warranty card. My first watch was also an Omega Seamaster.
Can a £120 fully automatic watch compete with a seamaster. I'm SHOCKED 😲 at your conclusion. I'm not. Just confused why you thought it may enough for you to do a comparison.
have you heard of Vaer, American made, sorta, cheap watches. not homages. though islander is sort of the goat of cheap seiko homages that have saphhire crystals.
Buy a pagani and scratch that itch..... nobody's rich enough to buy every watch...watches are for personal enjoyment. You only need an omega if you want to show-off.
