I bought the one with silver dial and rubber strap from eBay for 58 dollars just out of curiosity so far no issues and the hand aligns perfect the watch looks more expensive than what I paid for!!!
That misaligned chrono hand can be adjusted. Maybe the manual contains instructions for this specific movement on how to adjust the chrono hand. Also, you do have the 100M water resistant variant which only came out in 2020. This watch used to only have 30M of WR.
I have had one of these for a year now. It is superb for the price. I don’t think you could oil fill this watch because the chronograph function is mechanical (ie mechaquartz). I’m not an expert but that is what I believe.
a distressed leather or perforated leather rally strap. Im in Florida , so i may try a white vintage Tropic strap for the summer ! I have the exact bracelet fit issue as you If i add one link back in, I'll need to use the micro adjust. I think on Ally you can get a upgraded Rolex bracelet knock off with functioning glide lock
I have both colours. Its 11mm thin, not 12mm. 2019 models had 30m WR. This is 2020 issue with 100m WR. As for the chrono hand doesnt line up perfectly, ALL quartz & meca-quartz can be calibrated easily. Lots of youtube videos on that. This happens sometimes. Best daytona homage
Great info! Mine measured at 11.6 mm thick, so I just rounded it up to 12. If you have both colors which do you prefer, just curious. The white dial or the black dial?
All Things Random i prefer black just by a little bit. I know most people prefer panda white Black looks tough, more manly but also luxurious. Dial & bezel looks integrated. White looks cool, more beautiful. More contrast. Both colours are great colours. Cannot go wrong with any of them
I read years and years ago in GQ magazine that men should never wear a loose wash that slides up and down the arm. It makes it look as if you bought it off the streets.
A loose watch really ruins the bracelet also. The looser you wear it the bracelet whether gold or steel, will have unnecessary strain on the links, which stretches out the bracelet
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that this watch is pretty much useless as a chronograph, since the small minute dial is divided only in intervals of 5 minutes. The small second hand dial is marked the same way. The small dial on the right has similar problems (marked in 2 hour intervals) and is mainly useful for balancing the other small dials to make a pleasing dial layout. The markings on all of those dials are grey on reflective black and impossible to read without a magnifying glass. So, in summary, it's a pretty watch, but you had better have your phone or a $10 Casio along if you want to measure lap times.
The second hand isn’t two seconds off. Each second is divided into 5 parts. That’s two fifths of a second off. That’s a lot different than two whole seconds off.
HI Jason! Just the vid I was looking for... found you looking for info on oil-filled quartz mod. 1. What do you think of the idea of poil filling htis baby? What would the aesthetic be like? With the additional little dials owuld they have a problem in the oil? 2. If you oil fill a watch, is the process reversible if you don't like the effect? Thanks in advance and greetings from UK here.
Nice review! The only thing that freaks me out is when people review watches with gloves on and the watch is already dirty! (maybe it's because I'm watching on a 27" computer screen) 😁
Tony Lillard I just hate as I review leaving fingerprints that get worse and worse over the review. Plus I lost my pinky nail on my right hand from a dog bite a while ago. Not pretty on a 27” screen
Honestly with this much of a budget watch there’s bound to be some quality control issues. I haven’t really had any problems with the brand in the past, but look at something like a Seiko Who are also known for their quality control problems like misaligned bezels. And those are well over hundreds of dollars for their dive watches, and this is under 100 bucks
I wear Pagani Design Panda as a beater watch and get compliments from costumers almost everyday , they think it's worth thousands because looks expensive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pops
I have the Parnis and it does not have a screw down crown or the square indices at 3-6-9 (like the Rolex). If I recall, the Parnis is 39mm, not 40 like the Pagani. while they appear nearly identical, they are in fact different. My Parnis is the same color way as yours. I’m enjoying your channel! Keep up the good work! And BTW, it’s dead easy to recalibrate the chrono second hand (which is 2/5 of a second off on yours). Lots of videos just search “recalibrate VK63”
I agree, if you are looking at getting one of these, look at the Parnis version, it is 39mm as per the original. The bracelet is crap, order the replica rubber strap, more comfortable, and makes it look super luxury. I have recieved a ton of compliments when wearing.
@@rickstard73I have 5 PD and all are very well made and finished. You can't go wrong with the Seiko movements either. My Daytona is quite frankly remarkable for the money.

Well, I love mine and was shocked at the quality and look of the watch. I had low expectations but was totally shocked and love it!!
Every Pagani design I’ve reviewed has been far higher quality than any other Watch brand even twice as expensive

Teddy Henriquez great deal. I still love this watch. It hits high above its price point for sure
I have one purchased from Amazon 2024 Ref 1644 the water resistance is 100 meters. I tested it fully immersed for 72 hours
Really good to hear. Thanks for letting me know! Sounds bulletproof

Wow it's a real nice looking watch.
Appreciate the great review.
Thanks for a great review.
Got this for 58usd. Everyday beater. Dare I say, better than my Seiko 5 Sports which is more than 3x the price
I bought mine today on Aliexpress
Bought mine a few days ago

How about a rubber strap buddy

How many people actually use their chronos for timing, nit many, it is for the style and look 😂

Great review ! Thx 4 the info
Maybe it's the best, Daytona!!!
My review (I have one) great value, great specs except the lume.
I'd have happily paid another £50 to have one with Super Luminova.
100% agree
Es un buen reloj tiene lo básico y buenos materiales y un excelente movimiento Seiko . Lo recomiendo al 100%
How difficult is it to resize the bracelet using the micro adjustment holes?
Very easy
@@allthingsrandom8137 thanks for the reply 👍👍

@@allthingsrandom8137 got it, that makes sense! (I ordered one of these a few days back, I'll be interested to see how "good" mine is)
I wore this thing all weekend. On a leather distressed strap it’s just awesome
I've saw a fe reviews now, some report problems with the buttons, some bad details about the dial and bad bracelet/clasp.

I just got mine. The bracelet is really cheap and it rattles. It feels like a toy. I replaced it with leather. Much better.

Parnis Daytona is better :P
Hmmmmmm, we’ll have to see

Totally waste of money, I would rather buy a Orinet or Vostok.
@@a0r0a7 We all like different watches, but you cannot fault Pagani for value, I have 4 and they are excellent.
