A Very nice review that went to the point!!!! I just got this chrono one week ago and only paid 38.00 USD plus taxes. and I feel extremely satisfied with it. Is not my daily watch coz I have other 250+ chronos in my collection but I can say this one is a LOT OF WATCH FOR YOUR MONEY!!!! I own several economy chronos from the 60s and 70s from brand names like Wittnauer, Gruen, Waltham, Tissot, and others, and many of them were equipped with the ubiquuotous Valjoux 7733, and they were not as well built and finished as this Pagani, and they were more expensive- over 75.00 USD of those years, came with a plastic crystal, and had no Water Resistance ratings at all. Pagani is, for a budget brand, establishing itslef like the Quality and Feature leader of its segment. And I am a very happy owner of 12 Pagani watches already, all of them either Chronos or Diver watches.
I bought this watch a years ago for about $65. It was packaged in the nicest Pagani box I have seen. I immediately thought it was an original design and thereafter found the same watch you discovered. I find it hilarious that Pagani did such a good job with an homage of a watch costing $50.000. Of course the Audemars Piguet is 24 carat gold but who cares?
Patek multi complication. Looking the part. I have the caddison version this is quite amazing. Slightly more but you get the rear exhibition glass over a superb looking seagle movement with swan neck. Pagani do make some nice pieces. 🎉
Definitely getting one, I've wanted a chronograph for a while but I was always afraid of how complex the movement is on the real mechanical ones, since realistically I would almost never utilize the chronograph features anyway. Mecha-quartz is a perfect balance because it still gives you the smooth seconds which I love
looks great, works great... and what a price.... I saw it was sold out... have to look for another shop I have around ten Paganis now... never had any problem... from Spain
30-40 m water depth does not mean that you have to or can dive that deep, but that it can withstand the pressure at 30 m water depth. However, this pressure is also reached at much lower water depths, because water does not stand still. This pressure is reached much more quickly by moving underwater. For example, if you make strong arm movements at a depth of 5 m, you may already exceed this pressure load.
The AP chrono version costs £74300 and is made from white gold. The time only version in steel starts at £22700. Now obviously we can’t really compare these on any level. There is however an interesting watch by Timex, the Giorgio Galli S2. The lugs are not straight copies, the watch is a time only 38mm piece with titanium parts and a Sellita SW200. The dial is where it really sets itself apart from many watches out there: black enamel with a silver ring, a bit of Polerouter in there.
Thanks for sharing! Looks like Timex, Giorgio Galli S2 starts from £425 here in the UK, kinda Hamilton level price point. The case design is very interesting though like you described, I'll see if I can get my hands on one of these. Happy Holidays! 🙂🎄👍
@@ShinyThings actually that would be the S1, which mostly looks like a refined Marlin. The more interesting S2 costs £750. But then the Tissot PRX automatic costs £640 (£780 gold anodised) and it does not have a Sellita movement.
I’ve been wearing the steel Daytona homage with white dial for 2 years. I really like it. I did change the bracelet to an oysterflex style rubber strap I got off eBay. I much prefer it to the original.
Not a big fan of the dial wish they'd drop the 'Sport' maybe even the brand name text like on some other models. That said, the case is pretty interesting although it's very polished. Cheers for the review Aviv.
That's a pretty watch. I doubt many people would eecognize the AP, so youre not going to impress anyone with your clone. It's one thing to to copy the design, it's another to execute the build well. This looks like it was executed well. And I dig those flying butteess lugs. This might be my first VK63 - I hate the subdial selection, but this one almost makes it bearable. Nice watch, great video.
Only watch enthusiasts will recognize the AP design, but it is super clear if you know. For the other 99.9% of folks, they'll see a very handsome watch for a ridiculously low price. For me, it is more of a fake than a homage. I don't agree with stealing someone's original, and beautiful, design. I'm biased, I have an AP Code 11.59.
Why so much hate for 24hr dials? Just get out of USA for a while and spend time in countries with proper 24hr schedules, that are unambiguous! The AM/PM thing can be really annoying once you get used to 24 hour time, and NOBODY outside of USA calls "military time", nobody!
This watch is fantastic, but my only complaint is that it would have been better if it had a screw-down crown since it doesn't have any crown guards. I'd hate to accidentally knock the crown on mine.
I bought it a while ago. Nice watch. The only thing is I don't know how the batteries must be replaced. The back has screws, but it seems to be one piece with the front with the middle being sandwiched between. Will the middle slide to replace the battery?
As hastes que fixam a pulseira não são ligadas a caixa elas separam junto com a tampa do fundo. Você retira os 5 parafusos e o fundo sai para trocar a bateria.
Hi everyone. I am looking for orient kamasu homages. What your suggestions?. There are some similar watches but they don't have day-date window. Especially I prefer with day-date window.
The Seiko/TMI VK63 is a quartz calibre, and a damned good one at that! My own VK63 watch, a Pagani PD1676, homage to the "Newman's Own" Daytona (did not come with salad dressing or pizza though!), has been holding time within +0.5 second since 10 March 2024 (DST switch). It is now 5 may, almost 2 months! That means it beats by far any 300 dollar plus Bulova Precinionist or Lunar Pilot (400 to 800 bucks) with their 262KHz calibres!
Ho comprato molti orologi Pagani, non mi hanno mai deluso completamente ma, neanche mi hanno fatto sobbalzare. Non sarà questo cronografo al quarzo a fare la differenza nella mia percezione. È iniziata la mia personale controversia quando acquistato un loro cronografo ho scoperto che i tasti cronografici avevano una finta serratura a vite. In quel caso può costare 5, 50, 500, 5000€ .. Io con loro ho chiuso.... Posso solo approfittare di un reale sottocosto che mi piace
Pardon me, it is the silly "AM/PM" system, that is totally ambiguous and useless! You must be another US-American, who has never been outside of USA, because those are the ONLY people on the planet, who complain about 24hr dials! They are not useless, but you need to be able to read and use the REAL full calendar time, because a day has 24 hours. Extremely useful for reading international travel schedules, and in Northern (or Southern) latitudes, when it becomes impossible to tell after a nap, whether that "7" on the dial is AM or PM!
Without going further in the video and WITHOUT CHEATING., it is a copy - "hommage... ^^" - of the 11.59 from Audemars Piguet > Ref. 26393BC.OO.A002KB.02. François-Henri Bennahmias the former CEO who has just left AP for other heavens spoke about it again recently with the French TH-camr "Frank sans C" I'll see when I continue to look at her that I'm right.

Thank you for sharing! I totally agree, Pagani Design did an excellent job here, especially considering the price of this watch!
Please advise where I can buy this watch at your price?
Ebay

I agree, the build quality of the case is surprising especially at this price point!

Just bought one for my nephew. Hope he likes it!
I can't believe the price of this watch !!!! Wooooooooooow ! Thank you for your work !!
Very interesting case shape which I thought may be brass considering the price. However, sapphire crystal and SS case at that price is unbelievable.
looks great, works great... and what a price.... I saw it was sold out... have to look for another shop
I have around ten Paganis now... never had any problem...
from Spain
$53 US dollars for the blue version. Still kinda nice though. Another one in my bucket list.
Thank you for pointing this! Looks like the blue one for $46 is out of stock. I'll add the $56 listing, which also has additional two colourways.
Who the hell is going to dive 30 40 m underwater with the watch. The design Its wonderful😂😂😂😂😂
30-40 m water depth does not mean that you have to or can dive that deep, but that it can withstand the pressure at 30 m water depth. However, this pressure is also reached at much lower water depths, because water does not stand still. This pressure is reached much more quickly by moving underwater. For example, if you make strong arm movements at a depth of 5 m, you may already exceed this pressure load.
The quality is absolutely top notch. Wish you all the best ❤
the brushed in the middle is a nice touch
I bought this watch after saw your review. Thx

I had this one on my radar, but then decided to go for the Pagani-Daytona homage.
I’ve been wearing the steel Daytona homage with white dial for 2 years. I really like it. I did change the bracelet to an oysterflex style rubber strap I got off eBay. I much prefer it to the original.
Not a big fan of the dial wish they'd drop the 'Sport' maybe even the brand name text like on some other models. That said, the case is pretty interesting although it's very polished. Cheers for the review Aviv.
I totally agree discreet branding is ideal. In fact my favourite piece is the PD-1692 V1 which only has the logo and minimal text.
It’s a damn shame Pagani didn’t put a deployant clasp on this. It would’ve taken it up a notch, I think.
That's a pretty watch. I doubt many people would eecognize the AP, so youre not going to impress anyone with your clone. It's one thing to to copy the design, it's another to execute the build well.

Really enjoyed this video. Unfortunately both colors sold out on that link. Likely thanks to you!
There is another link in the description with a bit higher price ($57) and with more colourways. Thank you for watching and good luck 🙂👍
Seconds dial hitting every marker is unbelievable!
Nice watch! Never saw a review of it before. Must have been priced too high. PD improved the design, imo.
actually a good looking piece IMO. Love the case design
Where did you buy it. Cheapest I can find is USD 98?
This watch is fantastic, but my only complaint is that it would have been better if it had a screw-down crown since it doesn't have any crown guards. I'd hate to accidentally knock the crown on mine.
Wonderful review... Thanks for the video

where can i buy this?
How to change its strap, I'm struggling
Unbelievable value.😱
Where can I buy this watch please at $46?
All gone. I think I got the last one. :) Thank you.
El azul es legible?
Does it have AR coating?
The problem with the strap is you cannot use any of your straps with quick release. Otherwise this is a winner IMHO.
Where can u purchase one I like it
Use link in the video description.
Try this one: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EjGgSPX
Hi everyone. I am looking for orient kamasu homages. What your suggestions?. There are some similar watches but they don't have day-date window. Especially I prefer with day-date window.
The lugs look like they are welded on and not machined as part of the case. I would expect them to not hold up very well. Or do my eyes deceive me?
Thanks mate I appreciate it 👍
Pagani sells impressive watches. This one is very nice
Price in Thaind?
I appreciate your efforts thanks.
Not bad value,for what it is, case quite good🎉
Beautiful watch
what model is this watch mimicking,please?
Watch the video! He tells you!
Haven’t seen the end of the video yet. Don’t need to, though. This is definitely a Code 11.59 homage. 🤣
Definitely not dressy at all, looks massive and bulky on top. Even on your 7 inch it looks akin to a 44-46mm.
You cannot beat Pagani Design in price perspective.Fakes are more expensive ❤
Great watch.
automatic or quartz ?

Pagani CODE 11.59am ehehe
Lol 😁👍
Nice looking
Is this watch original?
No.
Watch the video!
A shameless AP Code 11:59 rip-off. It's an attractive watch - because of that.
THE PARTS ARFE MORE $$ THEN THE WATCH.
Casio-500AF
Thats literally a rip off a AP Code 11.59 chrono.
❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing!
Looks like it wears very big on a 7 inch wrist
Their name, logo in tandem with the overuse of polished cheap metal accents... Just can't.
Что-то новенькое 👍
Definitely 🙂
sorry another scam chrono movement: I love chrono watches but I'd NEVER NEVER buy a cent for a fake chrono with 24h subdial. that is 2 /3 a chrono.

not original at all, it's an AP Code 11.59 clone!
Yeah, he said that in the video
Oh… so you watched the same video we did. Great job
Fafaffaff fa fa! Fafafafafafaf!!
$130 on Amazon…..no thanks
Who buys any AliExpress brand on Amazon? (get the hint?)
It's lugly.
Code 11.59 ap
Without going further in the video and WITHOUT CHEATING., it is a copy - "hommage... ^^" - of the 11.59 from Audemars Piguet > Ref. 26393BC.OO.A002KB.02.
François-Henri Bennahmias the former CEO who has just left AP for other heavens spoke about it again recently with the French TH-camr "Frank sans C"
I'll see when I continue to look at her that I'm right.
I see you know your AP collection 🙂👍Happy New Year!
Thank you! Happy New Year 2024 to you too!@@ShinyThings
