pagani has been my go to the last few years. I own the GMT (both versions including pepsi) Explorer style, submariner style and datejust. I recently ordered this based on your review and it arrives tomorrow. I have yet to be disappointed by these watches!
I own ten Paganis. I know their pros and cons. I believe if you can get them dirt cheap on sale, they offer an unbeatable value. I don't understand the criticism regarding the oyster style bracelet. I have a couple of Paganis with horrendous bracelets (PRX homage, with really sharp edges and Aqua Terra Chrono homage, a bit rough around the edges). But the oyster bracelets are exceptionally good, in my opinion. Bear in mind you won't find ANY traditional brand that offers solid links (and screws too!) for less than 100 dollars. The oyster bracelets are comfortable, in my experience. The clasp is also great, but due to the usual QC problems, sometimes it's hard to open it, sometimes it is loose. The link extension is a pain in the ass. It's easy to extend, but, as you mentioned, it is very hard to reach the pin. There isn't enough space to insert a fork, so I use two screwdrivers. But it's really hard to do it. Anyway, you are getting so much watch for the money, you really can't complain.
I wish Pagani would offer a full blue dial version. Not just the blue-black fade. I think they may have gotten rid of "explorer" on all versions now. I also would like to see a moritorium on these open case backs. Beautiful watch.
I got one to see what its like , on the outside its really good the movement is Seiko and accurate ,, but open up the back after 6 months use and take a look at the corrosion and pitting of the back and the case along the seal where water is trapped .. The stainless steel is just not so good and goes rusty and quite badly at that .. Its the cost penalty I got pictures that really say it all .. but hey its cheap.

Got this one too for about 1 year and still love wearing it.. Stunning watch.
Unbelievable for the money!
@@WatchesChecked yes! back then i got it for $60. Now it is priced at $100 but still a great deal.
great review, I need one right now, congrats I love Pagani, you won a subscriber
Thanks!

great review I'm a fan.
Big thank you for watching!
they sell a silicon strap version too, im considering getting that one. good idea or no?
It's better to get one on a bracelet and then buy a silicone in my opinion, usually the bracelets are harder to buy than bands
It looks like it costs so much more than it does until that bezel wiggle!
