God bless Jodie 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I’d watched the MoonSwatch debacle with interest and would have been prepared to buy a quirky, plastic Omega for two hundred and something quid. But no… Omega/Swatch went down the Rolex route of making purchasers feel like scum, feel like they’re not worthy of the purchase, feel like the have to queue like lemmings to purchase one. Well done Jodie, you’ve saved me all of the above. I’ve just pulled trigger on one of these for under £90 and brought my Pagani collection up to four (famous dive watch, famous GMT watch & famous recently deceased secret agent watch) all running perfectly and well used in the water sports world I inhabit. I may not dive, but I spend an inordinate amount of time on the water and in truth purchasing these allows me to fill up a fuel hungry boat with diesel and be on the water rather than wearing originals and dreaming of owning that boat… Cracking value for money 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And because you wear this in space, no one will see the extension, and those who do have far more important matters to think about than the watch you're wearing. 😏
I happily ordered this watch today. I thought about getting the speedy, but I can't get over the fact that this Pagani will still be more accurate with its meca quartz movement. As for a moon watch, I'm getting the Bulova lunar pilot. Another high accuracy quartz. Cool!
The one that makes me smile is the snoopy speedmaster(the blue and white) it my fav speedy after the original black and white and the alaska project speedy(half way to saving for an auto sapphire sandwich speedy the other to is too expensive to ever be in my wrist though)

The best part is you don't have to deal with the Swatch group to get it serviced @ 1000 euros +, you can just pop the back of and replace the battery yourself.
Well - twist off, anyway. It's a screwdown caseback, and for the money it's decently milled, and tightened well. Proper tool & clamp will help avoid dings and slip-scratches
@@ficwith3 Off course you are 100% right, I meant pop in the metaphoric sense, like pop into the shop. English is my second language sorry for the confusion.
I was never sure whether a Speedmaster was my cup of tea. For way under €100,- this was a good pick to check the looks on my wrist. Now that i know i don't like it, i'll find the Pagani a new owner and be happy, i didn't spend an awful lot of money on a watch that wouldn't get enough wrist time for the price.
Grabbed a couple of these a few weeks ago and they just arrived. One for me and one for a fellow watch dude at work. 100% worth every penny. Obviously, it’s an homage, but it’s a super fun watch and a strap monster. Throw it on leather, canvas, or even orange nato. Looks less precocious (fake) than on the bracelet. Don’t get me wrong, the bracelet is nice, but I’d you don’t want to look like you’re trying to hard go with something more subtle. Either way, this is a no brainer purchase. My co-worker immediately took off his Oris and threw this one on for the day. It’s just a fun watch.
I've been looking for a Speedy homage for YEARS to scratch that itch and this is the first one to hit just right! Saw it in a notification ad, threw it in the cart, then came here to see if you had a video (and of course you did lol). Somewhere around the four minute mark I hit the purchase button. Thanks for the video as always, Jody!
These Paganis are getting better and better. The non-date versions seem to be mostly sold out for now. The savings are exponential as the servicing costs on authentic Speedies is mind-boggling. Thanks for another great video, Jody.
It's the closest I have come to wanting to buy a Pagani, and, yes, I'd spec the classic variant. The Lunar Pilot, however, more than scratches the Speedy itch for me. But if it spins your prop by all means have at it and enjoy! Cheers!
Yes, I have Bulova's Lunar Pilot, which I bought during my research on the (rubbish) MoonSwatch. It looks too similar to the Pagani in this case but they seem to have made a nicely finished piece with a solid movt. I would buy this one over the Swatch version for sure.
Yes. The Bulova Lunar Pilot actually has authentic lunar legacy. It is not simply an "homage" copy of a Speedy. I love my Lunar Pilots (plural). To scratch my 12 hour analog Chronograph itch (that neither the Lunar Pilot or Pagani have) I have a Maverick Chrono from Victorinox.
Use scotch tape to remove the blue from the crown. I sanded the silly illustration off of the case back and gave it a brushed finish. I love this Pagani.
It's a fairly good homage, all you can expect from a Pagani. The diver's extension is not a diver's extension, it's actually a space suit extension! 🤣 And all I know is I shan't spend several grand on a watch with a piece of plastic on it where a sapphire crystal should be!
Great review as always. I have one and love it (v3). To get off the blue on crowns I’ve always just used a piece of tape. Stick it to the crown and then pull it off and the blue will come right off
I love this third version by PD, the only reason why I haven't bought one already is bc i'm waiting (and hoping) for the Tintin version... I've always been crazy for the checkered red and white patern on the black dial
Hi Jody. Pro tip; I've found that a small piece of scotch tape, works quite well w/ removing those pesky blue crown peels. I have the V2, of the 1701, w/ color matched date-wheel, and silver hands, and indices. I chose it over the V3, as I actually prefer the look, of the brushed silver. I realize that opinion is subjective, and not true to the original design, but to each, his own. Love the videos. Please keep up the good work
@@Hehefactous To my knowledge no, there's not. But that's just based off of the original 3 version's. I know that none of those had ARC on the sapphire crystals, but those were all done before Pagani started implementing ARC on some of their models. And since then they have just released another version with different colorways and what not. Like the "Alaska Project themed" variation and so forth. I don't know for sure about those models. I can tell you though from experience that they could definitely use it as the domed sapphire is highly reflective. Hope this helps
I have what I presume is the V2 with the colour matched (black) date wheel but I have to admit PD have finally got it right with the white hands. Side by side with my son's genuine Omega Speedy you have to be impressed with the similarity not to mention the difference in price.
Mine finally arrived, took many days. It looks great for the money. The bracelet is a little on the "rough" side but reasonably comfortable. Now for the long term wear test to see if it is the tremendous value it seems.
Looks pretty good, I've been impressed with my other Pagani watches. The Omega Speedmaster Professional is and was my first higher end luxury watch purchase (paid no where near those AUD prices even when factoring USD conversion!), though I'm almost curious to pick one up to compare side by side. This looks much better than the Swatch version, and you could actually buy one without paying over retail!
My Fauxmega Speedy arrived a couple days ago and I love it so far. I put it on an orange rubber strap I had already, rather than fiddle with the screws, and it’s wearable and handsome so far. Thanks for the tip! Where shall I send the thousand$ I saved. (Actually, I’ll eventuall buy a “reduced” real speedy. They’re not unreasonably priced.)
the deployant link is not for diving. It is a fantasy element related to the theme of space. In the space station the air pressure is lower and your bracelet will be tighter.
I remember when a Speedy was £2500, I thought "Oh I'll get round to getting one someday!" Next time I look ...£5000+. At that price it would be silly not to look around at other options. Plus there are so many on the used market...
For the record, the actual moonwatch is also a 40mm bezel, and the updated one has a 47mm lug to lug (it was 48mm on the previous generation). I think the real moonwatch definitely wears like a 40mm watch
Ordered one yesterday using coupons and codes during the Ali sale for $57 on the canvas strap, which I prefer over the bracelet. Looking forward to seeing if it is as good a watch as my PD-1664, which is a superb Daytona homage. Cheers!
I got mine today. Pretty impressed for under 100 watch. You can feel some of the finishes of the bracelet they cheaped out on. It’s not sharp but not smooth either, so ID say rough. You could just buy it for the watch or wear a leather strap.
I’m sure they’re just using the same clasp over and over to save on production costs. Just bc there’s a divers extension doesn’t mean you have to use it just ignore it.
I've been wanting this for a while now, so I was SO excited to hear they finally put the white hands on! Do any of you guys know if this watch has that issue where the chronograph seconds hand misaligns? I read from some people that on the VK63 it tends to do that and wasn't sure if it was noticeable or easily repaired.
I've bought mine PD V3 and the hands were aligned, but when I use the chronometer and reset it, the minutes counter sometimes get very slightly misaligned, but not that noticeable to be honest. Overall I am super happy with it and I sugest everyone to buy a homage watch to see and feel if they like it to buy the real thing! Cheers!
These look great!! While the “original” black looks the best, I’m actually kind of partial to the gray one. For $85 bucks, it’s tough to turn down, for sure. I have their Paul Newman Daytona homage, and it’s a fine watch. These absolutely destroy those Omega Moonswatches with their plastic crystals that aren’t even replaceable!!!
I bought the gray one. The combination of colors is superb. Highly recommend it, especially at $75. Discovered later that it’s an homage of the 50th Anniversary Moonwatch. One point I noticed in hand is that the Pagani Design logo and text below the 12 is quite subtle since it is printed in gold ink. It’s noticeable enough to visually balance the dial, but blends in nicely with the overall dial. A nice effect.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Newman vs Moon. I have a small wrist, so any thoughts regarding which one may wear better for that would be appreciated.
@@evanb6862 Hi, Evan. Not sure if you were asking Adam21 or me, but I can talk about the watch sizing/fit on a smaller than average wrist. For reference, I have the Moonwatch homage, and it fits perfectly on my 6.6 in wrist after removing all the removable links. If you have a wrist smaller than mine, you’ll have to remove 1 or more of the “permanent” links by pulling each link apart with pliers. It can be done, and there’s a TH-cam mod video of the Pagani Moonwatch where he does this. Unlike him, though, make sure you remove the watch head from the bracelet first. I successfully did this with 2 of my other watches. I don’t know if you can do this with every bracelet, but at least for this Pagani Speedy homage, it looks like you can. Hope this helps.
I bought the grey & gold gilt version Jody. Swapped out the bracelet, not that it’s bad, for a grey leather matching strap. Looks pretty good. As I have a real Speedy, this is a great stopgap when I want that aesthetic without worrying too much wearing it.👍🏼😎
As a speedy owner I think this looks generally great, but there's something off about the subregisters as they lack 3D depth. Can't complain about the price though, and I wish my speedy was waterproof and had a date!
Brilliant review, the V3 is by far the best interpretation of the Speedy. Pity they don't do the Black/White version with no date that would clinch it for me. 🤨
I have the v3 of the black on white. Some of the things I've found. 1. The V3 has the two dot markers at the 12-hour marker. Which is a plus for most people. 2. To the sharp-eyed, the tachymètre bezel lacks the dot situated between the 500 & 400 mark like the one present on the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Without it, it resembles the one found on the "non-Professional" Omega Speedmasters. And you'll find "dot under 70" and dot next to 90" on this one 😂. 3. If you're on the fence about changing the bracelet to other aftermarket straps, think twice before doing so as you'll be struggling to put the original ones back if you decide to do so later on. The holes situated under the solid end-links to access the spring bars are so small, that you'll find yourself struggling to adjust the springs of the, umm spring bars 😅 4. The black one, in contrast to the other color options - lacked that "step-dial" found on the actual Speedy. If you find yourself feeling the need to have the one with a step-dial, you have to resort to other colors or other brands or even the Moonswatch. The dial on this one is not even close to the real flat dial Speedy from decades back. 5. The bracelet is okay for the price, but I once had the misfortune of having the spring bar on the clasp failing, which almost made my watch fall to the ground upon disengaging the clasp. 6. Just use tape or the stickers that come with the watch to remove the blue tape covering the crown and pushers. I'll be adding more points as I wear this every day since the day it came 5 days ago 😁
Btw I've been led to believe it's not a diver's extension on the bracelet - rather an over-the-sleeve rally suite extension so you can see the dial unhindered if indeed you were timing laps as you drive. Cheers again!
Ah yes the blue sticker on the crown. A top tip for you Jody, no tooth pick, just very simple. Take another sticker or duct tape, press it on it, pull it off, done! Maybe you can mention that in a future video, has always worked perfectly for me!
Put some aftershave (alcohol based) on your finger, and that blue film on the crown should come off in seconds with a gentle rub. Won't scratch the crown or accidentally the case either!
Hi Jordy, loving your reviews. I own this black and white version and its a great little watch. I am looking to upgrade however. Do you have any recommendations?
Great watch and terrific VFM. Especially when compared to the MoonSwatch. Just goes to show how we're all getting totally fleeced by Omega, Swatch & Co. Only issue is the 24h subdial in the VK63 movement. Utterly useless.
Tempted with this one, and at the price it's a lot of watch for the money. But I do enjoy my Bulova Lunar Pilot. Great review again. Always enjoy your videos. Sunny but windy in Scotland today but life is good.
Cheers mate you have just saved me 10K and cost me £75.20 after tax as it wings it’s way to sunny Scotland! 😁 Always enjoy your videos and just had to pull the trigger on this one, for the price it’s a no brainier and a definite talking point for the collection!
Thanks Jodi for your review. Yeah, the divers extension may not be needed. Motor bike riders like myself will find this a blessing as I can wear it over my jacket whilst riding. I doubt that few people will dive with it, but great for us bike riders. Just bought one...Cheers Cliff
I ordered the rose gold with green dial. Still waiting in the mail but I like it and I don't think I've seen an Omega speed Master in that colorway so it looks less like a homage.
When the V1 turned out to be a flop I bought the Corgeut for $55 and I think I still prefer it despite it only having mineral crystal. The Pagani still has, at least IMO, too much writing on the dial both in the logo, the seconds sub register and the "japan mvmt". Maybe on V4 I'll pick up the Snoopy version. Or maybe I'll hit the lottery and catch the Phylida TinTin in stock.
The problem I have is the clasp. Mine will unlatch if I push in one side, which happened a couple times on wrist the first week I wore it. Wonder how Barton’s black leather would look…
If I were to choose it would be the least like a real Speedmaster as I would not want an exact replica. Probably the grey dial won't be mistaken for an Omega.
Ok Jody, first off you are my favorite watch reviewer/personality on TH-cam! There i said it. You call it like it is, good and bad, and help us understand the value of what is out there, cheap to semi-expensive. I wanted an inexpensive quartz grab and go, which looked nice, had a sporty look, some water resistance, and legibility for my middle aged eyes. I also thought at one point that i might want an omega speedmaster, but for my "expensive watch" i went the Tudor route. Hence coming to Pagani Speedmaster. I just got mine yesterday from Ali Express, and will say for the money i paid i am quite impressed. Yes the loom is rubbish, and the bracelet has some sharp edges, but is serviceable imo. The hour and minute hand are highly legible at a glance like you say, don't need my readers for that. Overall i'm happy with it so far! Thanks for all the great content you put out!
I love the graphic of a Space Shuttle riding Thunderbird 3 on the caseback. Although no Shuttle ever went anywhere near the Moon. Or anywhere more distant than a few hundred miles from Earth.
Love the classic black and white. Mate of mine has a Moonwatch, and it is beautiful but this will scratch the itch. I have a real Seamaster but for a cool looking looky-likey, this will do the job for me.
Here's a tip to quickly and easily remove the blue plastic on the crown: simply press a piece of cellophane tape onto the surface of the crown, then pull it off. The blue plastic comes off with the tape.
Not a bad copy at all and in my opinion a better option then the over priced moonswatch. I personally would rather spend the money and buy a bulova lunar pilot which has been reviewed on this page.
great video Jody, would this be a better buy than the new Swatch moon watches do you think? Do you think an automatic movement would fit in the casing if ever you became tired of the quartz movement?
Imagine Fiat and Ferrari launching a micro car, comparable to a VW Polo - 45 HP, 90 mph top speed, no electronics. On the bonnet, however, it says "Fiat x Ferrari". Next to it is a second car, a no-name Chinese sports car that looks very much like a Ferrari Daytona SP3 and has comparable technical specifications, but costs a fraction of the price and even less than the first car - and of course it doesn't have the Ferrari logo . Which one would you take if you had the choice?
Interesting. Got an old 1971 one and looking at your arm it looked quite good. Also saw the swatch Speedy a couple of month ago - liked it, too. Interesting for a everydays watch and fits good as a friendly nerds joke 😊
Just got a V3, and I like everything but the case back. At least I don’t have to see it all the time. The bracelet is a little sharp on the edges but it wears really well. I thought no AR coating would bother me more than it does. It’s worth what I paid, but I still want a real Speedmaster and wouldn’t mind owning a MoonSwatch as well.
These cheapo $100 clones are geeat. I have a sub homage, doxa, Pagani Daytona, SD Willard, next this thing. $40k usd watches for $300. Seiko movts too. Tx for the review.
As a man who started collecting watches during lock down on unemployment benefit with only Jody taking the sort of watches I could afford seriously. Now back at work my nose has been pressed to the ADs window ever since, may I suggest that the best value chrono on the market is in fact the Speedy reduced (No date) The newer "no number" dial is all over Chrono pre owned for £1500 (add import tax) With a seven inch wrist its extremely tempting, cheaper even than the Hamilton, the big eye or the new prx......the next three best value chronos. only the ST19 is better value, talking of which Sugess has a new Zenith homage which is very pretty. Thanks for the overview Jody, I must say I thought these were much more expensive.

curious to see how the rose gold tone hold on after some wear, would be great to get an update on the quality of the gold tone coating of your watches after some wear
Its funny but I've been wearing mine for over a week and haven't even noticed the divers extension in the bracelet. It's actually there. I couldn't ask for a better moonwatch homage chrono for the 💰 that doesn't require winding ever. If only it was available with a solar powered movement!
The Phylida Speedmaster Moon Watch and Tintin with ST019 movements are amazing. I wear them regularly and at £135 each a complete mystery how they can be made and sold for this. Cheers

Saw it in a notification ad, threw it in the cart, then came here to see if you had a video (and of course you did lol). Somewhere around the four minute mark I hit the purchase button. Thanks for the video as always, Jody!
These Paganis are getting better and better. The non-date versions seem to be mostly sold out for now. The savings are exponential as the servicing costs on authentic Speedies is mind-boggling. Thanks for another great video, Jody.
Hopefully one day their lume will catch up
Top tip - get the blue stickers off the pushers and crown with a bit of tape. Takes seconds and avoids scratching anything!
It's the closest I have come to wanting to buy a Pagani, and, yes, I'd spec the classic variant. The Lunar Pilot, however, more than scratches the Speedy itch for me. But if it spins your prop by all means have at it and enjoy! Cheers!
Yes, I have Bulova's Lunar Pilot, which I bought during my research on the (rubbish) MoonSwatch. It looks too similar to the Pagani in this case but they seem to have made a nicely finished piece with a solid movt. I would buy this one over the Swatch version for sure.
Yes. The Bulova Lunar Pilot actually has authentic lunar legacy. It is not simply an "homage" copy of a Speedy. I love my Lunar Pilots (plural). To scratch my 12 hour analog Chronograph itch (that neither the Lunar Pilot or Pagani have) I have a Maverick Chrono from Victorinox.
Use scotch tape to remove the blue from the crown. I sanded the silly illustration off of the case back and gave it a brushed finish. I love this Pagani.
Just ordered the V3 black/white to compliment my original Speedmaster which I only paid $96.00 back in 1967!
It's a fairly good homage, all you can expect from a Pagani. The diver's extension is not a diver's extension, it's actually a space suit extension! 🤣 And all I know is I shan't spend several grand on a watch with a piece of plastic on it where a sapphire crystal should be!
Great review as always. I have one and love it (v3). To get off the blue on crowns I’ve always just used a piece of tape. Stick it to the crown and then pull it off and the blue will come right off
I love this third version by PD, the only reason why I haven't bought one already is bc i'm waiting (and hoping) for the Tintin version... I've always been crazy for the checkered red and white patern on the black dial
Hi Jody. Pro tip; I've found that a small piece of scotch tape, works quite well w/ removing those pesky blue crown peels. I have the V2, of the 1701, w/ color matched date-wheel, and silver hands, and indices. I chose it over the V3, as I actually prefer the look, of the brushed silver. I realize that opinion is subjective, and not true to the original design, but to each, his own. Love the videos. Please keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip Tara! I'll definitely give that a go. Cheers!
This tip saved my day, thanks.
@ Glad I could be of service👍
@@tarasmathers7423 hey man do you know if theres any version with AR coating on the glass? Ty
@@Hehefactous To my knowledge no, there's not. But that's just based off of the original 3 version's. I know that none of those had ARC on the sapphire crystals, but those were all done before Pagani started implementing ARC on some of their models. And since then they have just released another version with different colorways and what not. Like the "Alaska Project themed" variation and so forth. I don't know for sure about those models. I can tell you though from experience that they could definitely use it as the domed sapphire is highly reflective. Hope this helps
I have what I presume is the V2 with the colour matched (black) date wheel but I have to admit PD have finally got it right with the white hands. Side by side with my son's genuine Omega Speedy you have to be impressed with the similarity not to mention the difference in price.
Mine finally arrived, took many days. It looks great for the money. The bracelet is a little on the "rough" side but reasonably comfortable. Now for the long term wear test to see if it is the tremendous value it seems.
Looks pretty good, I've been impressed with my other Pagani watches. The Omega Speedmaster Professional is and was my first higher end luxury watch purchase (paid no where near those AUD prices even when factoring USD conversion!), though I'm almost curious to pick one up to compare side by side. This looks much better than the Swatch version, and you could actually buy one without paying over retail!
These are really nice for the price. Yes, there are a couple of areas they could improve on, but on the whole I'm really happy with mine.
Hello Jody
you can remove the blue color very easily with disc brake cleaner. Just spray it on a peace of cloth and wipe the color of.
I got the blue and white version a little while back as a fun summer watch. Has not disappointed me yet.
That crappy divers extension is helpful when removing links, it provides space from the clasp to fit in the punch through block. Always great revies.
I have an Omega and I wouldn't get mad at anyone for buying this. It's a better deal than the MoonSwatch. That's for sure.
Summertimes wrist can be swollen quite a bit, so divers extension may come in handy for that
My Fauxmega Speedy arrived a couple days ago and I love it so far. I put it on an orange rubber strap I had already, rather than fiddle with the screws, and it’s wearable and handsome so far. Thanks for the tip! Where shall I send the thousand$ I saved. (Actually, I’ll eventuall buy a “reduced” real speedy. They’re not unreasonably priced.)
I’ve had one of the Daytonas since January, on your recommendation, on a jubilee bracelet . Can’t fault it . One of these next for sure.
I bought my son one. He adores it. I have to admit it doesn’t look bad for what it is
I've got the white blue snoopy version Version one.Only problem is the visibility of it. I honestly can never tell the time! Watch 5 Price 9
I have 2 in my basket for the 27th. Looking to get the black also a blue and white snoopy one. Great video cheers.
the deployant link is not for diving. It is a fantasy element related to the theme of space. In the space station the air pressure is lower and your bracelet will be tighter.
I remember when a Speedy was £2500, I thought "Oh I'll get round to getting one someday!" Next time I look ...£5000+. At that price it would be silly not to look around at other options. Plus there are so many on the used market...
Guy I worked with bought Submariner in 2007. Retail at a Rolex dealer then....£2,750. !!!
@@markdarwin4390 the classic "coulda shoulda woulda"
@@jabezhane I bought a Tag Monaco.. 🙄
@@markdarwin4390 That was the watch I wanted for ages. Then tastes change.
@@jabezhane I still think it's gorgeous, only comes out on special occasions. Nice to chat to a fellow watch nut!
For the record, the actual moonwatch is also a 40mm bezel, and the updated one has a 47mm lug to lug (it was 48mm on the previous generation). I think the real moonwatch definitely wears like a 40mm watch
Ordered one yesterday using coupons and codes during the Ali sale for $57 on the canvas strap, which I prefer over the bracelet. Looking forward to seeing if it is as good a watch as my PD-1664, which is a superb Daytona homage. Cheers!
I got mine today. Pretty impressed for under 100 watch. You can feel some of the finishes of the bracelet they cheaped out on. It’s not sharp but not smooth either, so ID say rough. You could just buy it for the watch or wear a leather strap.
I’m sure they’re just using the same clasp over and over to save on production costs. Just bc there’s a divers extension doesn’t mean you have to use it just ignore it.
I've been wanting this for a while now, so I was SO excited to hear they finally put the white hands on! Do any of you guys know if this watch has that issue where the chronograph seconds hand misaligns? I read from some people that on the VK63 it tends to do that and wasn't sure if it was noticeable or easily repaired.
I've bought mine PD V3 and the hands were aligned, but when I use the chronometer and reset it, the minutes counter sometimes get very slightly misaligned, but not that noticeable to be honest.
Overall I am super happy with it and I sugest everyone to buy a homage watch to see and feel if they like it to buy the real thing! Cheers!
These look great!! While the “original” black looks the best, I’m actually kind of partial to the gray one. For $85 bucks, it’s tough to turn down, for sure. I have their Paul Newman Daytona homage, and it’s a fine watch. These absolutely destroy those Omega Moonswatches with their plastic crystals that aren’t even replaceable!!!
I bought the gray one. The combination of colors is superb. Highly recommend it, especially at $75. Discovered later that it’s an homage of the 50th Anniversary Moonwatch. One point I noticed in hand is that the Pagani Design logo and text below the 12 is quite subtle since it is printed in gold ink. It’s noticeable enough to visually balance the dial, but blends in nicely with the overall dial. A nice effect.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Newman vs Moon. I have a small wrist, so any thoughts regarding which one may wear better for that would be appreciated.
@@evanb6862 Hi, Evan. Not sure if you were asking Adam21 or me, but I can talk about the watch sizing/fit on a smaller than average wrist. For reference, I have the Moonwatch homage, and it fits perfectly on my 6.6 in wrist after removing all the removable links. If you have a wrist smaller than mine, you’ll have to remove 1 or more of the “permanent” links by pulling each link apart with pliers. It can be done, and there’s a TH-cam mod video of the Pagani Moonwatch where he does this. Unlike him, though, make sure you remove the watch head from the bracelet first. I successfully did this with 2 of my other watches. I don’t know if you can do this with every bracelet, but at least for this Pagani Speedy homage, it looks like you can. Hope this helps.
@@cecilyau4440 Thanks! Looking for as much input as I can get. :)
@@evanb6862 Anytime.
I bought the grey & gold gilt version Jody. Swapped out the bracelet, not that it’s bad, for a grey leather matching strap. Looks pretty good. As I have a real Speedy, this is a great stopgap when I want that aesthetic without worrying too much wearing it.👍🏼😎
Just use a sticky tape to remove the blue tape on the crown...works every time
Yeah, why not. They look pretty decent. Personally I'd take the black/white version.
This watch is unbelievable value for the money!
The sapphire sandwich moonwatch is still a manual wind, Jody. The Speedmaster auto chronos would be even more expensive.
This must have been a slip of the tongue. Jody knows better than that.
Great review, as per! But couldn’t one just remove the divers extension and attach the bracelet directly to the clasp?
As a speedy owner I think this looks generally great, but there's something off about the subregisters as they lack 3D depth. Can't complain about the price though, and I wish my speedy was waterproof and had a date!
Not waterproof because of the age? Just curious.
Brilliant review, the V3 is by far the best interpretation of the Speedy. Pity they don't do the Black/White version with no date that would clinch it for me. 🤨
So much this........😉
💯 agree
I have v2 and I think this video just convinced me to order v3, the white hands really make all the difference!
Have they added more removable links to the bracelet? The v2 certainly didn't fit smaller wrist with its lack of adjustability.
I have a PD1701 and PD1662 GMT. The GMT is good… the PD1701 Speedy is fantastic!!
you have no idea how GOOD this is on a Nato Strap! I wear it in all my videos lately! and of course in daily life!
I have the v3 of the black on white. Some of the things I've found.
1. The V3 has the two dot markers at the 12-hour marker. Which is a plus for most people.
2. To the sharp-eyed, the tachymètre bezel lacks the dot situated between the 500 & 400 mark like the one present on the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Without it, it resembles the one found on the "non-Professional" Omega Speedmasters.
And you'll find "dot under 70" and dot next to 90" on this one 😂.
3. If you're on the fence about changing the bracelet to other aftermarket straps, think twice before doing so as you'll be struggling to put the original ones back if you decide to do so later on. The holes situated under the solid end-links to access the spring bars are so small, that you'll find yourself struggling to adjust the springs of the, umm spring bars 😅
4. The black one, in contrast to the other color options - lacked that "step-dial" found on the actual Speedy. If you find yourself feeling the need to have the one with a step-dial, you have to resort to other colors or other brands or even the Moonswatch. The dial on this one is not even close to the real flat dial Speedy from decades back.
5. The bracelet is okay for the price, but I once had the misfortune of having the spring bar on the clasp failing, which almost made my watch fall to the ground upon disengaging the clasp.
6. Just use tape or the stickers that come with the watch to remove the blue tape covering the crown and pushers.
I'll be adding more points as I wear this every day since the day it came 5 days ago 😁
I note that the v6 black is out now, debating going for this in the next sale...
Btw I've been led to believe it's not a diver's extension on the bracelet - rather an over-the-sleeve rally suite extension so you can see the dial unhindered if indeed you were timing laps as you drive. Cheers again!
so is it a divers extension or a space suite extension 🤔
Ah yes the blue sticker on the crown. A top tip for you Jody, no tooth pick, just very simple. Take another sticker or duct tape, press it on it, pull it off, done!
Maybe you can mention that in a future video, has always worked perfectly for me!
Yes this works! I use the bigger blue tape that they use on the watch and use it on the crown.
That's exactly what I do and it works perfectly!
Put some aftershave (alcohol based) on your finger, and that blue film on the crown should come off in seconds with a gentle rub. Won't scratch the crown or accidentally the case either!
The film that Pagani uses could hold the space station together. It will almost make you wish that Pagani had gone cheap on the protective coatings.
Hi Jordy, loving your reviews. I own this black and white version and its a great little watch. I am looking to upgrade however. Do you have any recommendations?
Great watch and terrific VFM. Especially when compared to the MoonSwatch. Just goes to show how we're all getting totally fleeced by Omega, Swatch & Co. Only issue is the 24h subdial in the VK63 movement. Utterly useless.
Tempted with this one, and at the price it's a lot of watch for the money. But I do enjoy my Bulova Lunar Pilot. Great review again. Always enjoy your videos.
Sunny but windy in Scotland today but life is good.
Cheers mate you have just saved me 10K and cost me £75.20 after tax as it wings it’s way to sunny Scotland! 😁 Always enjoy your videos and just had to pull the trigger on this one, for the price it’s a no brainier and a definite talking point for the collection!
Thanks Jodi for your review. Yeah, the divers extension may not be needed. Motor bike riders like myself will find this a blessing as I can wear it over my jacket whilst riding. I doubt that few people will dive with it, but great for us bike riders. Just bought one...Cheers Cliff
I ordered the rose gold with green dial. Still waiting in the mail but I like it and I don't think I've seen an Omega speed Master in that colorway so it looks less like a homage.
Get a Seagull 1963 if you want a mechanical chronograph. My wife loves hers and I like wearing it a lot too!
When the V1 turned out to be a flop I bought the Corgeut for $55 and I think I still prefer it despite it only having mineral crystal. The Pagani still has, at least IMO, too much writing on the dial both in the logo, the seconds sub register and the "japan mvmt". Maybe on V4 I'll pick up the Snoopy version. Or maybe I'll hit the lottery and catch the Phylida TinTin in stock.
The problem I have is the clasp. Mine will unlatch if I push in one side, which happened a couple times on wrist the first week I wore it. Wonder how Barton’s black leather would look…
If I were to choose it would be the least like a real Speedmaster as I would not want an exact replica. Probably the grey dial won't be mistaken for an Omega.
Ok Jody, first off you are my favorite watch reviewer/personality on TH-cam! There i said it. You call it like it is, good and bad, and help us understand the value of what is out there, cheap to semi-expensive. I wanted an inexpensive quartz grab and go, which looked nice, had a sporty look, some water resistance, and legibility for my middle aged eyes. I also thought at one point that i might want an omega speedmaster, but for my "expensive watch" i went the Tudor route. Hence coming to Pagani Speedmaster. I just got mine yesterday from Ali Express, and will say for the money i paid i am quite impressed. Yes the loom is rubbish, and the bracelet has some sharp edges, but is serviceable imo. The hour and minute hand are highly legible at a glance like you say, don't need my readers for that. Overall i'm happy with it so far! Thanks for all the great content you put out!
I love the graphic of a Space Shuttle riding Thunderbird 3 on the caseback. Although no Shuttle ever went anywhere near the Moon. Or anywhere more distant than a few hundred miles from Earth.
Love the classic black and white. Mate of mine has a Moonwatch, and it is beautiful but this will scratch the itch. I have a real Seamaster but for a cool looking looky-likey, this will do the job for me.
Here's a tip to quickly and easily remove the blue plastic on the crown: simply press a piece of cellophane tape onto the surface of the crown, then pull it off. The blue plastic comes off with the tape.
Not a bad copy at all and in my opinion a better option then the over priced moonswatch. I personally would rather spend the money and buy a bulova lunar pilot which has been reviewed on this page.
You know you love a watch when you've had it on your wrist for two straight weeks and you're watching the JOMW video about it for the 7th time.
Hope they release a V4 with slightly bigger subdials, a nicer font and a smaller lug to lug. That would make this watch almost perfect!
Those are ok but I wish they include a bit of AR coating and a more solid bracelet.
Just think of it as a Moonswatch alternative which doesn't stain your arm
Great review. I'd like the same comparison with the Bulova Lunar Pilot for contrast.
great video Jody, would this be a better buy than the new Swatch moon watches do you think? Do you think an automatic movement would fit in the casing if ever you became tired of the quartz movement?
Imagine Fiat and Ferrari launching a micro car, comparable to a VW Polo - 45 HP, 90 mph top speed, no electronics. On the bonnet, however, it says "Fiat x Ferrari". Next to it is a second car, a no-name Chinese sports car that looks very much like a Ferrari Daytona SP3 and has comparable technical specifications, but costs a fraction of the price and even less than the first car - and of course it doesn't have the Ferrari logo . Which one would you take if you had the choice?
I received my Bulova Moon watch today. With leather strap and Nylon strap supplied. It is better looking in person. €399.
Interesting. Got an old 1971 one and looking at your arm it looked quite good. Also saw the swatch Speedy a couple of month ago - liked it, too.
Interesting for a everydays watch and fits good as a friendly nerds joke 😊
I walked out of an Omega store and said that id rather get a PD. On the basis that my bank account couldn’t even afford the bracelet of the Omega
Just got a V3, and I like everything but the case back. At least I don’t have to see it all the time. The bracelet is a little sharp on the edges but it wears really well. I thought no AR coating would bother me more than it does. It’s worth what I paid, but I still want a real Speedmaster and wouldn’t mind owning a MoonSwatch as well.
The new ones most assuredly have the AR coating....I have to TRY to tilt the watch to get a reflection off it
These cheapo $100 clones are geeat. I have a sub homage, doxa, Pagani Daytona, SD Willard, next this thing. $40k usd watches for $300. Seiko movts too. Tx for the review.
As a man who started collecting watches during lock down on unemployment benefit with only Jody taking the sort of watches I could afford seriously. Now back at work my nose has been pressed to the ADs window ever since, may I suggest that the best value chrono on the market is in fact the Speedy reduced (No date) The newer "no number" dial is all over Chrono pre owned for £1500 (add import tax) With a seven inch wrist its extremely tempting, cheaper even than the Hamilton, the big eye or the new prx......the next three best value chronos. only the ST19 is better value, talking of which Sugess has a new Zenith homage which is very pretty. Thanks for the overview Jody, I must say I thought these were much more expensive.
@@grantmorriss2557 What a nasty git you are, I was the sole carer for an old friend who died and bed and board were part of the deal along 24 hr on call and "carers allowance" Jodys first ever review was of a seventeen pound casio that I had bought because I couldn't afford to repair my Seiko, I shouldn't have to "explain" myself but am happy to do so to expose your bad faith assumptions, you Sir may get stuffed, and the same to your horse.
curious to see how the rose gold tone hold on after some wear, would be great to get an update on the quality of the gold tone coating of your watches after some wear
Just use a masking tape or duck tape to get rid of the blue dot. Easy.
Its funny but I've been wearing mine for over a week and haven't even noticed the divers extension in the bracelet. It's actually there. I couldn't ask for a better moonwatch homage chrono for the 💰 that doesn't require winding ever. If only it was available with a solar powered movement!
Looks like I’ll need to buy the Pagani gold version in addition to my new Omega Speedmaster
Just ordered mine and I can't wait for it to arrive!!!!
The Phylida Speedmaster Moon Watch and Tintin with ST019 movements are amazing. I wear them regularly and at £135 each a complete mystery how they can be made and sold for this. Cheers
Pagani might be the best in reverse engineering and recreating for tenth of the price. Thanks Jody 👍
A tenth of the price? No, more like around 1.6% of the price.
That Green and rose gold watch is beautiful!
