@@sander7782 Thank you for watching Sander. No; but I did review the PD-1661 on rubber strap. Check out my review of it, it may interest you. Regards, #WR4K
Thank you so much for paying attention to all the small details that are of so much importance, the comfort of wearing, weight, lug to lug, timekeeping etc. This is just another great review of yours, cheers from Denmark
Absolutely the most in-depth watch review I have ever seen! I was confused about the bezel. It looks like aluminum, but has engraved and painted numbers, which is a trait of ceramic bezels. This wasn’t clear on anything that I read about the watch, but this awesome review clarified that, and every other detail. Nice job!
I love your reviews. You are very consistent across watches. This makes it easier to compare different watches across your reviews. You are also very thorough as well. I got one of these (black bezel, oyster bracelet) and it has held steady at
I'm a bit late, but Happy Channel Birthday 🎉 It seems we started our channels around the same time. Although yours has definitely grown a little bit quicker 😝
I've had three of these, two black and one Pepsi. I just buy them dirt cheap when I find them on sale on Aliexpress; I use them a few months (a few times, really, since I own several watches), then I sell them at cost. I haven't had any issues with the movement, but then again, a few months maybe isn't enough time for them to start failing. This model, however, does come with QC issues. The most common (on all three watches) was a misaligned cyclops (really noticeable). And I had one jubilee bracelet with a loose screw; it fell apart while I was wearing it. Other than that, it's a great watch. Accuracy usually was between 8 and 15 seconds per day, measured with the phone app, face up. Power reserve was good, a lot more than a whole day; I imagine it was something around 35 hours. I believe this movement is based on the ubiquitous DG2813, a movement used in all cheap replicas. A friend of mine bought a submariner replica with this movement, and he told me after ten months it would lose two minutes per day. So, I guess it's a matter of luck, really.
The watch came in 2 hours fast/day out of the box but I managed to regulate it 0-2s fast/day. And changed the clasp with a Strapsco glidelock clasp. I am totally happy now.
I mean, you know what you are getting. You can see it's not perfect, but it's 70+ euros! it deserves a try, i just ordered one. Fingers crossed. If I like the way it sits on my wrist, i will consider buying a rolex, maybe ? :)Anyway great video, and quality. Just subscribed, keep up the good work, cheers from Italy!
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Also check out my other Pagani Design reviews, they may interest you. I have also reviewed the PD-1662 Batman version. Regards.
Great review, John. Congrats on the first birthday for the channel. I must say, this homage piece certainly looks the part. Thanks for sharing. Regards
Thank you for watching Mario. Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate your support from the early days of my channel. Wear your pieces in good health. Regards.
Easy to regulate these yourself as long as you're careful (if you make a mess of it, then you might as well chuck them in the bin). Not a bad piece, the next level of Chinese GMT movements is the Hangzhou 6460 as seen in the San Martin and Cronos but these are just under $400 USD. However, both of these manufacturers have some issues/niggles with their GMT watches (there are a few reviews and comments on youtube), so spending quite a bit more is not necessarily a good thing-unless you get a really good one. It's good to see PD making small improvements to their bracelets and clasps, they haven't always been (I've never had any problems with them) Not sure as to the reliability of the pearl DG movements, there isn't much readily accessable long term info regarding them (that I can find)
This watch broke my heart. It lasted me 9 months. Just a gorgeous watch BUT the Pearl movement let´s it down. It simply could not hold a charge for 1 day which meant I had to hand wind it regularly, which I actually like to do. The problem was that the winding stem was of a soft material and eventually the teeth wore away leaving the watch unable to be wound and the inevitable bits of steel working their way into the movement grinding it to a halt. A real shame. The watch is of fantastic quality in terms of finish but the Pearl movement is it´s Achilles heel, so to speak. Go for one with a Seiko movement and it should be fine.
Thank you for watching. I did an updated State Of The Collection video 3 days ago. See link below. Regards, #WR4K th-cam.com/video/RFWzyf336-o/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I know wearing gloves appears pretentious. However they prevent fingerprints on the watch when handling it; and also help the 4K camcorder to focus. Regards.
@@watchreviews4k I have no problem with that whatsoever. It adds drama to the quality and value of the product that you’re presenting which is 10 x better than some Joe bloggs reviews out there of legitimate Swiss mid-range timepieces, but with grubby hands, dirty finger nails and a smokers cough from woodbine country 🤣
Excellent review as usual. I would like to make a point that is hardly ever discussed. I notice there in no "made in ..." print on the dial of Pagani watched which for some people might be a put off and a downside - especially taking into account that; 1. this is considered standard practice across all price ranges and among nearly all manufacturers and 2. regarding Pagani, we ALL know that these are NOT made in Italy, despite the Italian sounding name, and are in fact made in China. ( I assume and therefore stand to be corrected !) So why not have Made in China printed on the dial ? A manufacturing company which is able to bring this amount of quality at this price range to the market should not feel the need to hide the place of origin of manufacture. 3. Many consumers including myself do like to know which country the product we are buying, be it food, wine, instruments or clothes, is made in - it acts as a reassuring guarantee of authenticity, eg, I would choose olive oil made in Spain or Italy or Greece over oil made elsewhere.
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed. Market perception. "Swiss Made" is perceived as being high quality; thus a selling point for a brand. "Chinese Made" is perceived as being low quality; thus not a selling point for a brand. Regards, #WR4K
Thank you for watching Phil. Glad you enjoyed. The PD-1661 (rubber strap version), and also PD-1664 (rubber strap version). Check out my reviews of them, they may interest you. Regards, #WR4K
Я вас спросил именно про этот механизм, а не Японский. А вы говорите поглядите там. Я уже говорил вам, если бы я видел ваши обзоры раньше, я бы добавил денег и купил бы с Японским механизмом. Теперь если купил эти часы, пользуюсь ими. Значит мне повезло, если с коробки и ходят хорошо.😂
People seem to want too much for paying less.. The Pagani watches are big bang for your buck. As with any mechanical or electronic goods there will always be a few per batch that get through QC and end up in stores an warehouses... You can go to any store and buy anything that is faulty, people get a bad watch and trash every watch made by that company.. Nobody seems to trash apple when they bought an iphone and it was faulty!! They just get another replacement iphone!! I'm a big fan of Pagani, the quality for the price is brilliant!! If people want perfection then go buy and bigger more expensive brand!!
Can’t quite agree with you. I have two PD watches( Daytona and Batman GMT) The Point is that if you have significant issues- returning the Watch is a problem and not worth it financially. So Caveat Emptor
@@davidroberts7213 it's only a problem because if the way it is purchased.. If you could buy the watch in a bricks and mortar store or on line from a reputable local seller then your statutory rights are unaffected.... Go on eBay for instance, you can buy the watch using PayPal, you pay that person's mark up but you are guaranteed a replacement or refund!! But be that as it may, the amount of watches pagani actually produce and sell that have no problems.far outweigh the amount that are faulty, the difference is people on watch sites are quick to raise a complaint and basically trash the brand.. There are many well I'm now brands that have issues but the difference is they can bought from a bricks and mortar store so the complaints are never raised on line and brought to the public's attention!! On a final note, you won't get a watch with the same specs for the same price range by a well known brand in a store!!
@@perrysaker1526 I have two PD watches- the"Daytona" and the above "Batman" really like them though the Batman has QC issues and the Movement is of dubious reliability! However , I am quite happy with these risks- definitely a case of Caveat Emptor- but I realised these issue.When a reviewer casually states that there is a "warranty" then it must be emphasised that because of the Chinese location that this is next to useless. Yes there is a risk with any watch!! But you as a reviewer need to highlight these issues
@@davidroberts7213 "When a reviewer casually states that there is a "warranty" then it must be emphasised that because of the Chinese location that this is next to useless" The warranty isn't next to useless in all cases. Some collectors have returned watches to the reseller under warranty and received a full refund, or alternatively replacement watch. Yes, it means returning the watch to China at ones own expense; the reseller does not cover the return shipping. However they do cover the shipping of the replacement watch. Pagani Design watches aren't sold by the factory on AliExpress. They wholesale the watches to many resellers that retail them at profit. Therefore the warranty being honoured or not varies from reseller to reseller on AliExpress. Pagani Design do not handle the warranty claims, that is the responsibility of the respective reseller retailing the watch. If one has a problem with a watch; the first step is to try the AliExpress dispute process for a full, or partial refund. The second step if this fails, is to negotiate returning the watch to the reseller for replacement, or refund. To make this happen, leave negative feedback on the resellers AliExpress store; and use this as leverage in order to negotiate the refund. Full refund and the negative feedback is removed. Yes, its a given that Pagani Design watches have poor QC. That is the reality of low-tier 100 Euro watches on AliExpress. If one wants higher QC level; one has to pay circa 350 Euro San Martin watches. However the aforementioned applies to their resellers honouring their respective warranty. Regards, #WR4K
picked one up from aliexpress . . after watching this video i was a little worried about what to expect when it arrived . . +5 seconds a day so far, phewwww
I ordered this same watch on 1/6/2 £31.58 including tax. The only problem with my two Pagani I had to change the oyster bracelets to rubber straps hopefully when I receive this watch and PD1661 the bracelet will be of good quality. Pagani design watches are generally solid.
I think that's usually the case with many AliExpress watches. I have lots of straps & bracelets to swap! That said, the bracelet on the Pagani Spirit Homage is exceptional!
Спасибо за видео обзор. Но я его поздно посмотрел, расстроился, потому что эти часы жду. Скоро придут. Сделаю с них кварцевые часы, на миоте. Если они так будут плохо работать. Спасибо ещё раз, уже подготовлен к худшему.❤

Hi...I have both, the GMT here and the Kermit from Pagani Design and I second your opions on those watches. I personally would pay for a better lume in a heart beat though. My favorite Sub homages are my two Tisell watches, both no date versions. One is the normal "diver" and the other one is a more vintage one with printed indices and a domed cristal. Both have super nice lume and are excellent through out. Have you ever reviewed a Tisell Sub homage? cheers Uwe

Like your reviews mate. I had the black bezel version. Looked brilliant but had to return it due to quality issues. QA is a crap shoot with the Chinese movements…
Agreed Greg. Decent lume, screw pins rather than straight interference fit pins and an anti glare coating would make it markedly better and something I’d gladly pay extra for. T
Hello .. which wristwatch do you think is more beautiful, PD Pepsi Rolex GMT homage or PD Pepsi Tudor BB58 GMT homage? They both use the same movement?

I just bought one of these... from a mass-market retailer. Which is the only place I would buy a watch like this from. Buying from China directly leaves you no resource... if you buy from Amazon or Walmart, they will send refund/replacement with no problem. :-) I don't have my watch yet, but considering the QC on these chinese movements, do you have a video about regulation? Like, how to manually regulate a watch that is off? I have a "watch repair" kit, I can remove the back off of watches. I would like to be pointed in the direction of a video that shows how to regulate a watch's movement. Thanks WR4K.

You will need a Bergeon 5757F spring bar tool (see link below). This has a fine two prong fork which will fit into the spring bar slot. First remove one end of the bracelet from the head of the piece. This will make it easier for you to access the spring bar slot inside the clasp. It's a bad design as there is only one slot, not two; but with the fine spring bar tool you can depress the spring bar and then move the clasp.

Hello, I'm having an issue with my Pagani watch, and I hope someone can help me. When I set the date, for example, to Thursday the 14th, it never changes, even after midnight passes. I initially thought it was a manufacturing problem, but I tried it on a second watch and the same thing happened... I must be doing something wrong, but I don't understand what. Just to note, I do set the day and date when the time is set to 6:30 AM, as advised in some videos. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the issue? Thanks.
@@watchreviews4k i tried so hard i dont want tk break the bracelet what do i do? Did u notice that the new pepsi compared to old batman the pepsi has a different case thinner case?
Looks like great fit, finish and appearance, but I'm not about to buy a watch despite the price point that may be unregulated. may have "explorer" still on the dial and is reviewed as a "Crapshoot"
Got one today, looked nice, even tho the bezel was slightly misaligned. But sadly I underestimated the taper of the bracelet, was too much for my liking, even though it was pretty comfortable. Bezel looks good, has a nice shine to it! Maybe I give it another shot with the o-style bracelet.
Congratulations Kurt. Excellent choice. Wear yours in good health. Sorry to hear the bezel was slightly misaligned. You can remove it in acetone then reset it with a new 3M adhesive ring from eBay. SKK007 adhesive rings fit the PD-1662. Yes, the Oyster bracelet works well on the PD-1662 and has a different taper to the Jubilee. The PD-1661 Oyster bracelets fit the PD-1662 case well. I recommend this seller for a bracelet. They sell both the polished centre link, and fully brushed satin versions.

Sir real question. I am looking to buy this same watch but the question that I have is that to readjust the bracelet do I need to buy a little flat screwdriver or does it come in the watch box. I have seen videos where people mention that the watch comes with a little screwdriver, but then watch videos on pagani design like this one does not mention any scredriver, that is why I am asking you. I hope you respond sir.
Thank you for watching Enrique. Sometimes the watches come with a screwdriver, sometimes they don't. Therefore its best to buy a set of jewellers screwdrivers. See my video below where I give tips on bracelet resizing; including using Polymide tape to prevent scratching the links, and a butane blowtorch to heat up the thread lock in the screws. Often collectors chew the screw heads as they didn't heat up the threadlock to break the bond first. Regards, #WR4K th-cam.com/video/0dBTWjswqC8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WatchReviews4K

After about 6 months, mine is losing 6-7 minutes per day. Can a local jeweler regulate these movements or is the Pearl chinese movement now a lost cause?
Dear WR 4K, 5 mm Rolex easy link style extension for the first time, or is it possible that my PD-1662 Pepsi from February 2022 does not have this function at all? I don't want to damage the bracelet. I would like to use this function on my Batman version with an Oyster bracelet, unfortunately I couldn't remove the bracelet from the folding clasp either, there is only 0.2 mm of air between the bracelet and the buckle.
This watch looks awesome but I also want the Seiko movement. I am tempted to get it but am doubtful about Pearl movement. It's chinese, right? Steinhart is better but has very straight lugs which is criticized since many years. Squale is another rival here, but I think Pagani is an unbeateable value for the money. The most important is a reliable movement, though.
@@patricj951 Thank you for watching Patric. Yes, the Pearl DG5833GMT movement is made in China. The Ocean One 39 GMT gives better fit than the 42 version due to the shorter lug to lug, and the case wraps around the wrist more. Also consider the San Martin GMT. Regards, #WR4K
No, the minimum wrist size the bracelet fits is 6.5" with all the links removed. Also the 40mm case would be too large for a 12 year old. A 36mm case would be a better fit. Regards, #WR4K

Nice review as always. Sometimes these low cost options cost you a lot more in the long-run. If I didn't have at least $500 then I would just save until I did. Why throw good money away on a watch with a sub-par movement? That just doesn't make good sense. For me, if I only had $100 then I would buy a quartz or save for a watch with a proven GMT movement.
Thank you for watching Patrick. Glad you enjoyed it. You make good a good point. Lack of willpower to save up is often the reason. Watch collectors are often impulsive; and want a Pepsi homage now for under 100 Euro, rather than waiting and saving up for a 600 Euro Ocean One 39 GMT. I concur that their are other good alternatives for under 100 Euro; such as the Casio Duro, or Phoibos PX002 for quartz; or Vostok Amphibia for automatic; all of which I have previously reviewed. Really it's hard to get a good GMT movement automatic piece for under 100 Euro. It is better to spend 600 Euro and get a Sellita SW330 in an Ocean One 39 GMT. Regards.
Interesting water resistance test of some Pagani Design watches by Jody on the Just One More Watch channel. See link below. Regards. th-cam.com/video/mfzjhe56utU/w-d-xo.html&t&ab_channel=JustOneMoreWatch
definitely not, the bezel on the cronos pepsi is ceramic (hard to do with blue and red) and the movement is better in the cronos compared to that of the pagani (I have the pagani batman and when changing modes on the crown, it feels fragile and the hacking sometimes takes a bit to actually stop the second hand). Also, when pushing the crown back in after it was hacked, the minute hand sometimes shifts forward which is annoying. But, the pagani is ~$100 on amazon whereas the cronos is ~$300 on aliexpress which justifies the quality difference
Pagani totally screwed me. I had problems with the bezel, misaligned and wobbly, also the numbers were pink on my Root Beer GMT. They wanted me to pay to exchange or return. Dozens of messages got me nowhere. Even Ali Express did nothing to fix the problem. China is still problematic. Don't do it.
Just very unlucky. Every pagani I've gotten, GMT Batman, Pepsi, and hulk homages have come in perfect condition for their quality. But yes, definitely stick to Amazon when buying pagani pieces. Aliexpress is good but their customer service is awful when it comes to complications, not to mention shipping is far quicker with Amazon.
I have had this watch for over a year and I really wanted to hate it. But it keeps unbelievable time for an automatic. I may lose a minute over a month. I thought about getting a Steinhart but can't do it. The bigger size Pagani Design watches are not very good. I have a 44 mm Black old-school Rolex look diver. The 44 mm doesn't keep good time plus already had problems with that one. For a cheap watch, this one is great but if you can afford it go with Steinhart it's so much better.
Mine has 1 year old and I can tell you that the movement inside is just horrible and not precise at all i am losing 5 minutes each 2 days so the movement is trash just don’t buy the pagani design watches which are not equiped with seiko movements.
Most of the PD's I've bought had a choice between at least 2 different movements, usually a Seiko and a Miyota or Pearl,and the price differential wasn't more than a few euros,and even if you ordered with a Pearl movement it's probably unregulated which is something that any watch shop will fix for not much money.
Pagani Design have now updated to the Seiko NH34A in the PD-1662. However the lume is still weak. Please refrain from using swear words when commenting. Regards, #WR4K
Not another review of this watch! To sum up good watch let down by QC issues ( various) and a ChineseGMT movement with dubious reliability/quality. Also warranty with Chinese watches next to useless

I've had three of these, two black and one Pepsi. I just buy them dirt cheap when I find them on sale on Aliexpress; I use them a few months (a few times, really, since I own several watches), then I sell them at cost. I haven't had any issues with the movement, but then again, a few months maybe isn't enough time for them to start failing. This model, however, does come with QC issues. The most common (on all three watches) was a misaligned cyclops (really noticeable). And I had one jubilee bracelet with a loose screw; it fell apart while I was wearing it. Other than that, it's a great watch. Accuracy usually was between 8 and 15 seconds per day, measured with the phone app, face up. Power reserve was good, a lot more than a whole day; I imagine it was something around 35 hours. I believe this movement is based on the ubiquitous DG2813, a movement used in all cheap replicas. A friend of mine bought a submariner replica with this movement, and he told me after ten months it would lose two minutes per day. So, I guess it's a matter of luck, really.

Easy to regulate these yourself as long as you're careful (if you make a mess of it, then you might as well chuck them in the bin). Not a bad piece, the next level of Chinese GMT movements is the Hangzhou 6460 as seen in the San Martin and Cronos but these are just under $400 USD. However, both of these manufacturers have some issues/niggles with their GMT watches (there are a few reviews and comments on youtube), so spending quite a bit more is not necessarily a good thing-unless you get a really good one. It's good to see PD making small improvements to their bracelets and clasps, they haven't always been (I've never had any problems with them) Not sure as to the reliability of the pearl DG movements, there isn't much readily accessable long term info regarding them (that I can find)
Thank you for watching Graham. Regards, #WR4K
This watch broke my heart. It lasted me 9 months. Just a gorgeous watch BUT the Pearl movement let´s it down. It simply could not hold a charge for 1 day which meant I had to hand wind it regularly, which I actually like to do. The problem was that the winding stem was of a soft material and eventually the teeth wore away leaving the watch unable to be wound and the inevitable bits of steel working their way into the movement grinding it to a halt. A real shame. The watch is of fantastic quality in terms of finish but the Pearl movement is it´s Achilles heel, so to speak. Go for one with a Seiko movement and it should be fine.
I am sorry to hear that. Agreed, the NH34A is more reliable. Regards, #WR4K
Just orderd one. For 60 pounds. Excited to get mine

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I know wearing gloves appears pretentious. However they prevent fingerprints on the watch when handling it; and also help the 4K camcorder to focus. Regards.
@@watchreviews4k I have no problem with that whatsoever. It adds drama to the quality and value of the product that you’re presenting which is 10 x better than some Joe bloggs reviews out there of legitimate Swiss mid-range timepieces, but with grubby hands, dirty finger nails and a smokers cough from woodbine country 🤣
Excellent review as usual. I would like to make a point that is hardly ever discussed.
I notice there in no "made in ..." print on the dial of Pagani watched which for some people might be a put off and a downside - especially taking into account that;
1. this is considered standard practice across all price ranges and among nearly all manufacturers and 2. regarding Pagani, we ALL know that these are NOT made in Italy, despite the Italian sounding name, and are in fact made in China. ( I assume and therefore stand to be corrected !) So why not have Made in China printed on the dial ?
A manufacturing company which is able to bring this amount of quality at this price range to the market should not feel the need to hide the place of origin of manufacture.
3. Many consumers including myself do like to know which country the product we are buying, be it food, wine, instruments or clothes, is made in - it acts as a reassuring guarantee of authenticity, eg, I would choose olive oil made in Spain or Italy or Greece over oil made elsewhere.
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed. Market perception. "Swiss Made" is perceived as being high quality; thus a selling point for a brand. "Chinese Made" is perceived as being low quality; thus not a selling point for a brand. Regards, #WR4K
Frankly when it's this affordable, who cares where it's made from

im a fun now of pagani❤
People seem to want too much for paying less..
The Pagani watches are big bang for your buck.
As with any mechanical or electronic goods there will always be a few per batch that get through QC and end up in stores an warehouses...
You can go to any store and buy anything that is faulty, people get a bad watch and trash every watch made by that company..
Nobody seems to trash apple when they bought an iphone and it was faulty!!
They just get another replacement iphone!!
I'm a big fan of Pagani, the quality for the price is brilliant!!
If people want perfection then go buy and bigger more expensive brand!!
Can’t quite agree with you. I have two PD watches( Daytona and Batman GMT) The Point is that if you have significant issues- returning the
Watch is a problem and not worth it financially. So Caveat Emptor
@@davidroberts7213 it's only a problem because if the way it is purchased..
If you could buy the watch in a bricks and mortar store or on line from a reputable local seller then your statutory rights are unaffected....
Go on eBay for instance, you can buy the watch using PayPal, you pay that person's mark up but you are guaranteed a replacement or refund!!
But be that as it may, the amount of watches pagani actually produce and sell that have no problems.far outweigh the amount that are faulty, the difference is people on watch sites are quick to raise a complaint and basically trash the brand..
There are many well I'm now brands that have issues but the difference is they can bought from a bricks and mortar store so the complaints are never raised on line and brought to the public's attention!!
On a final note, you won't get a watch with the same specs for the same price range by a well known brand in a store!!
@@perrysaker1526 I have two PD watches- the"Daytona" and the above "Batman" really like them though the Batman has QC issues and the Movement is of dubious reliability! However , I am quite happy with these risks- definitely a case of Caveat Emptor- but I realised these issue.When a reviewer casually states that there is a "warranty" then it must be emphasised that because of the Chinese location that this is next to useless. Yes there is a risk with any watch!! But you as a reviewer need to highlight these issues
@@davidroberts7213 "When a reviewer casually states that there is a "warranty" then it must be emphasised that because of the Chinese location that this is next to useless"
The warranty isn't next to useless in all cases. Some collectors have returned watches to the reseller under warranty and received a full refund, or alternatively replacement watch. Yes, it means returning the watch to China at ones own expense; the reseller does not cover the return shipping. However they do cover the shipping of the replacement watch. Pagani Design watches aren't sold by the factory on AliExpress. They wholesale the watches to many resellers that retail them at profit.
Therefore the warranty being honoured or not varies from reseller to reseller on AliExpress.
Pagani Design do not handle the warranty claims, that is the responsibility of the respective reseller retailing the watch.
If one has a problem with a watch; the first step is to try the AliExpress dispute process for a full, or partial refund.
The second step if this fails, is to negotiate returning the watch to the reseller for replacement, or refund.
To make this happen, leave negative feedback on the resellers AliExpress store; and use this as leverage in order to negotiate the refund. Full refund and the negative feedback is removed.
Yes, its a given that Pagani Design watches have poor QC. That is the reality of low-tier 100 Euro watches on AliExpress.
If one wants higher QC level; one has to pay circa 350 Euro San Martin watches. However the aforementioned applies to their resellers honouring their respective warranty.

Very good watches. I have several different types. Sapphire, good movement, excellent bracelet.
picked one up from aliexpress . . after watching this video i was a little worried about what to expect when it arrived . . +5 seconds a day so far, phewwww
How is it performing now ?
Hi there.
I've got the black 1662 sitting in my cart for £38. Tempting. Is this a worthwhile deal? Is your Pepsi still holding up?
Yes. I sold it after my review. Regards, #WR4K
I ordered this same watch on 1/6/2 £31.58 including tax. The only problem with my two Pagani I had to change the oyster bracelets to rubber straps hopefully when I receive this watch and PD1661 the bracelet will be of good quality. Pagani design watches are generally solid.
I think that's usually the case with many AliExpress watches. I have lots of straps & bracelets to swap!
That said, the bracelet on the Pagani Spirit Homage is exceptional!
Спасибо. Я пробовал, у меня много инструмента для часов, не один не подходит. Вот зачем так делать. Послали отвёртку, но она больше.❤
Спасибо за видео обзор. Но я его поздно посмотрел, расстроился, потому что эти часы жду. Скоро придут. Сделаю с них кварцевые часы, на миоте. Если они так будут плохо работать. Спасибо ещё раз, уже подготовлен к худшему.❤
Unfortunately mine came dysregulated, +30 s/per day. The watch itself is amazing, really beautiful.
+30 seconds/day is very fast. It may be magnetised. I suggest buying a demagnetiser from Amazon and trying that. Regards, #WR4K
I Just don't know what happenned but by using the watch It regulated by itself, It is very accurate, +7s per day.
What do you think the odds are that this bracelet would fit the Steeldive SD-1953?
Thank you for watching. Similar case, so I think it will fit. Regards, #WR4K
Any long-term reviews? After using it for a while? I accidentally bought the Pearl movement, hoping it'll be the good one 😢
I have read reports from collectors in the last 4 years stating reliability issues. The NH34A version is more reliable. Regards, #WR4K
What about the one you reviewed in the video? Is it reliable, and how is the condition?
I sold it after the review. Regards, #WR4K
I got the watch and it's -30 s/d. Is it too bad? should I sell it and buy the NH34 version?
Yes, -30 seconds/day is bad. It can be regulated to better accuracy; so no need to sell it. Regards, #WR4K
Thanks for the video review. But I watched it late, I was upset, because I'm waiting for these hours. They'll come soon. I'll make a quartz watch out of them, on myot. If they don't work like that. Thanks again, already prepared for the worst
Is the watch reliable? What do you think ?
the one in your video has no "Explorer" which is good, and the one in your link to aliexpress shows "explorer" how do I get the one in your video?

You will need a Bergeon 5757F spring bar tool (see link below). This has a fine two prong fork which will fit into the spring bar slot. First remove one end of the bracelet from the head of the piece. This will make it easier for you to access the spring bar slot inside the clasp.

I'm having an issue with my Pagani watch, and I hope someone can help me. When I set the date, for example, to Thursday the 14th, it never changes, even after midnight passes.

Thank you for watching Enrique. Sometimes the watches come with a screwdriver, sometimes they don't. Therefore its best to buy a set of jewellers screwdrivers. See my video below where I give tips on bracelet resizing; including using Polymide tape to prevent scratching the links, and a butane blowtorch to heat up the thread lock in the screws. Often collectors chew the screw heads as they didn't heat up the threadlock to break the bond first. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k also love your channel. It's helps so much on making decisions. Currently looking at buying the Christopher ward tide with both stainless steel and tide straps. From your review the steel strap is made extremely well. Loving their work and your review helped big time.
What's the ramp angle setting for this movement when checking on the machine?

Took delivery this week. Looks the part but importantly its gaining 2 hours every 24-hours. Not good regardless of price

Buy the Nh34 movement. A bit more expensive. Not the cheap PD movement. Pagani Gmt has 2 choices to pick.
I have the Lige LG 6805 GMT Watch which is similar to this Pagani Design 1662... Would you recommend this watch too? Thx

Great review very thorough as always thanks very much I've been considering a Pepsi homage for a while you mentioned that this would be the best option sub £600 is it worth paying the difference for a watch from say San Martin or Cronos? Thanks again
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I haven't reviewed them so cannot comment. I think the Steinhart Ocean One 39 GMT is the best Pepsi homage; and yes it is worth paying the extra as the Sellita SW330 is an excellent movement. Also Steinhart have done an excellent job with the ceramic bezel. The Jubilee bracelet is also excellent quality. Regards.
I just got mine in today that the top hole of the 8 on the bezel was chipped out. So sad.

Wow thanks for responding ! I just picked up a new Tudor GmT just to get on the legendary Rolex list. Already have a Batman pagani but somehow the movement is just so inaccurate at +45 secs/day
@@mrlong6267 Congratulations. Excellent choice. Wear it in good health. Check out my Black Bay GMT review below, it may interest you. +45 seconds per day sounds like it may be magnetised. I suggest you buy a demagnetiser from Amazon. If that doesn't cure it, then it will need to be regulated. Regards, #WR4K

Здравствуйте. Я поставил красную стрелку, что бы она показывала 24 режим и всё отлично. Вот я думаю если я купил с китайским механизмом, что мне делать, теперь покупать с японским? Или не стоит это делать, может их хватит на более длительное время. Всё же деньги страчены. Плохо что нет титров на Русском языке.❤

After about 6 months, mine is losing 6-7 minutes per day. Can a local jeweler regulate these movements or is the Pearl chinese movement now a lost cause?
Sorry to hear that John. Yes, the movement is easy to regulate. Regards, #WR4K
Dear WR 4K,
5 mm Rolex easy link style extension for the first time, or is it possible that my PD-1662 Pepsi
from February 2022 does not have this function at all? I don't want to damage the bracelet. I would like to use this
function on my Batman version with an Oyster bracelet, unfortunately I couldn't remove the bracelet from the folding
clasp either, there is only 0.2 mm of air between the bracelet and the buckle.
Yes, all PD-1662 should have the Easylink style extension. They are sometimes very tight and difficult to remove. Regards, #WR4K
Try Watchdive and Addisdive watches ll
Just put an oyster band on it and that would be amazing.
Ultimately, I don't trust the Pearl, even if the refinement from Pagani continues. I'll stick with the Subby in the meantime.
Thank you for watching. Agreed, the NH35A used in the PD-1661 is more reliable. Regards.
This watch looks awesome but I also want the Seiko movement. I am tempted to get it but am doubtful about Pearl movement. It's chinese, right?
Steinhart is better but has very straight lugs which is criticized since many years. Squale is another rival here, but I think Pagani is an unbeateable value for the money. The most important is a reliable movement, though.
@@patricj951 Thank you for watching Patric. Yes, the Pearl DG5833GMT movement is made in China. The Ocean One 39 GMT gives better fit than the 42 version due to the shorter lug to lug, and the case wraps around the wrist more. Also consider the San Martin GMT. Regards, #WR4K
is this ok for kids??????(my 12year old kid)
No, the minimum wrist size the bracelet fits is 6.5" with all the links removed. Also the 40mm case would be too large for a 12 year old. A 36mm case would be a better fit. Regards, #WR4K
@@watchreviews4k thank you

Watch is too big for a 6,2 inch wrist?
Thank you for watching Tom. 6" is the minimum the Jubilee bracelet can be sized down to; so it will fit a 6.2" wrist. The 40mm case is a good fit for a 6-7" wrist. Regards, #WR4K

Hi you are awesome :)
as i know for automatic watches date can't be adjusted at the 'danger zone' time @ 9pm to 3am. For the gmt hand if i adjust it during the 'danger zone' (without adjusting date), will it break any gears internally? is it safe to adjust gmt hand during tat time? tq
The GMT hour hand is driven off the date wheel so safe to change at any time Janssen. Regards, #WR4K
@@watchreviews4k ok..so as long if i am in the danger zone i have to remember which way to turn the crown for the gmt instead of the date (anti or clockwise) then it will be fine....Thanks for your reply ....love your vids....subcribed and liked....My Pagani GMT bought and received at -84 seconds perday, is this type of engine NH34A easy to regulate and adjust it to +-20 if i send it to a watch specialist? or can't be regulated?

@@watchreviews4kOK thank you!
@@watchreviews4k Why?
Nice review as always. Sometimes these low cost options cost you a lot more in the long-run. If I didn't have at least $500 then I would just save until I did. Why throw good money away on a watch with a sub-par movement? That just doesn't make good sense. For me, if I only had $100 then I would buy a quartz or save for a watch with a proven GMT movement.
Thank you for watching Patrick. Glad you enjoyed it. You make good a good point. Lack of willpower to save up is often the reason. Watch collectors are often impulsive; and want a Pepsi homage now for under 100 Euro, rather than waiting and saving up for a 600 Euro Ocean One 39 GMT. I concur that their are other good alternatives for under 100 Euro; such as the Casio Duro, or Phoibos PX002 for quartz; or Vostok Amphibia for automatic; all of which I have previously reviewed. Really it's hard to get a good GMT movement automatic piece for under 100 Euro. It is better to spend 600 Euro and get a Sellita SW330 in an Ocean One 39 GMT. Regards.

Any chance anyone wants to trade my original Pagani oyster style bracelet for a jubilee?
Thank you for watching. Regards, #WR4K
Hmmm, I wonder if this is better than the Cronos Pepsi homage ? Very nice watch though this one is.
definitely not, the bezel on the cronos pepsi is ceramic (hard to do with blue and red) and the movement is better in the cronos compared to that of the pagani (I have the pagani batman and when changing modes on the crown, it feels fragile and the hacking sometimes takes a bit to actually stop the second hand). Also, when pushing the crown back in after it was hacked, the minute hand sometimes shifts forward which is annoying.
But, the pagani is ~$100 on amazon whereas the cronos is ~$300 on aliexpress which justifies the quality difference
oh yeah and the lume on cronos pepsi is way better than that on the pagani design
@@7khon731 Hmmm I thought the bezel was ceramic on the Pagani watches
@@doobsnack only on batman root beer and the black one
Pagani totally screwed me. I had problems with the bezel, misaligned and wobbly, also the numbers were pink on my Root Beer GMT. They wanted me to pay to exchange or return. Dozens of messages got me nowhere. Even Ali Express did nothing to fix the problem. China is still problematic. Don't do it.
Thank you for watching David. Sorry to hear that. Regards, #WR4K
I'd try buying from Amazon instead. Much better customer service
@@Whythefeckarethere2usernames Thank you for watching. Regards, #WR4K
Just very unlucky. Every pagani I've gotten, GMT Batman, Pepsi, and hulk homages have come in perfect condition for their quality. But yes, definitely stick to Amazon when buying pagani pieces. Aliexpress is good but their customer service is awful when it comes to complications, not to mention shipping is far quicker with Amazon.

Lost interest when you said the movement is unregulated, what a waste, all that care in the build and they fck it up !
Thank you for watching Ross. Please edit your comment to delete the expletive. Regards, #WR4K
I have had this watch for over a year and I really wanted to hate it. But it keeps unbelievable time for an automatic. I may lose a minute over a month. I thought about getting a Steinhart but can't do it. The bigger size Pagani Design watches are not very good. I have a 44 mm Black old-school Rolex look diver. The 44 mm doesn't keep good time plus already had problems with that one. For a cheap watch, this one is great but if you can afford it go with Steinhart it's so much better.
Mine has 1 year old and I can tell you that the movement inside is just horrible and not precise at all i am losing 5 minutes each 2 days so the movement is trash just don’t buy the pagani design watches which are not equiped with seiko movements.
Thank you for watching Tony. Sorry to hear that. Regards, #WR4K
Most of the PD's I've bought had a choice between at least 2 different movements, usually a Seiko and a Miyota or Pearl,and the price differential wasn't more than a few euros,and even if you ordered with a Pearl movement it's probably unregulated which is something that any watch shop will fix for not much money.
Those Chinese GMT-movements seem to be dying left and right, I'd honestly buy quartz if I wanted a sub 200€ GMT.
Thank you for watching. Regards.
Lume and movement ..is Pagani shitment doint by it
Pagani Design have now updated to the Seiko NH34A in the PD-1662. However the lume is still weak. Please refrain from using swear words when commenting. Regards, #WR4K
Not another review of this watch! To sum up good watch let down by QC issues ( various) and a ChineseGMT movement with dubious reliability/quality. Also warranty with Chinese watches next to useless
