Yes Tandorio is a nice deal. I’m leaning more and more to the observation that at the end of the day if you have a bargain nice looking automatic watch that runs flawless comparable to 5k and up watch, all that matters is that you are happy and so is your wallet. Who care what other think…most people don’t have a clue about watches outside smart watches.
GMT is my favorite complication, and I like the Cadisen Sprite homage (destro), wonderful watch with an office GMT. I hope these Aliexpress watches can put in a traveller GMT one day.
I seen this particular model with the ceramic bezel. It looks stunning I also have the Batman with jubilee bracelet and I love it. Perfect for traveling.
Good review. I prefer a design that looks more like the Seiko and in the end I did get the original orange bezel Seiko GMT with its super bright lume. If Pagani had the same orange one I could well have bought it. I also changed the hardlex crystal on it to a sapphire crystal and got a new milled clasp to fit. I ended up spending even more money but I have a perfect watch now.. However!! I'm thinking of getting a Pagani white dial GMT too with the steel bezel. Looks great! I have a Mission to Uranus Moonwatch homage from Pagani and really like it a lot.. I see that they now have a Mars watch. I got the original Moonswatch and it's absolutely rubbish. Pusher fell off, blue wrist and scratched crystal with a shirt sleeve! Got my money back because of the colour leaching. I recommend getting the Pagani. Cheaper, better quality, better movement.
Glad to see the NH34 supplant the trash DG movements. But I think the HZ6460 movements are nicer than the NH34. They have a higher beat rate and are slimmer than NH34.
The Pagani Design has the best jubilee bracelet. I've never noticed anyone point the two-step endlinks that most of the others don't use except for SanMartin and Cronos.
Thanks for reviewing Have they improved QC ? I bought the older version last year, and although it kept great time, the Cyclops was slightly out of line, and a pin fell out of the Bracelet and very poor Lume. My oldest son liked it, so I gave it to him, but I want another GMT in my collection. Peace out
Yes, QC oa better, without being at San Martin or Cronos level of course. Lume is better as you can see in the lume video but it doesn't last very long. The cyclops, at least in my unit, is well aligned. And the NH34 os working like a dream
It has 24 jewels. The movement is identical to the NH35 in looks, and we've all seen millions of those. The 4th hand is there to show your second time zone
I think not. Oceaneva has a much higher spec GMT with the same movement. US based brand with actual warranty. Also the fit and finish is more in line with a 2-3K watch plus they actually have videos proving their WR. I dare to say it's the best value watch on the market I have seen.
I was waiting for NH34 from Ali, but I don't think it is worth the price difference, especially with Pagani QC lottery reputation. With EU taxes it says for me $240, almost double the price of older Chinese GMT movement version. But maybe during a sale or if they make polar Explorer II version.
There was a hint of a Pagani PEII NH34 on its way on reddit just a couple of days ago. I am sure that it won't be long. Also Bliger do one if you don't mind the name (or a blank space where the name should be)
@@nickdsnik I don't mind Bliger or blank, but coin edge caseback is an instant dealbreaker for me. Even with poor lume and some quality issues I still like Pagani because they are one of the very few Rolex Tudor homages that have regular opening grooves.
@@karlsenula9495 Most don't have EU warehouse since VAT change, even if they had it before. At least for watches I usually look for. And it was the same price anyway, just faster shipping.
It was during the 11/11 sale at the Pagani Official Store but I bought the Batman version of this with the NH34 for $124. The watch turned out very well and is amazingly accurate. The only problem was with delayed shipping that was handled poorly. I did have the previous version of this watch with the Chinese movement and that was terrible.
The tandorio consistently fails water pressure tests...... Just claiming water residence without proper sealing. More compromises than Pagani design. There's always strange issues.... In finishing.... design....etc
@@Horologique I have a couple of San Martins, the sn017 sub and the sn004 retro diver. I've gone off homages but San Martin's are so well made I've hung onto them.
I think NH34 is a nice upgrade over the old Mingzhu GMTs, but the Hangzhou high beat GMT movements are really pretty nice on their own.

Bought for £50 in the sale with vouchers, a real bargain and super happy
I'm really glad 👍. An amazing price for an NH34 Powered watch
Good review, love these budget GMTs coming out from Ali brands, more affordable than Seiko and other microbrands.
I saw a notification for this video while I was on AliExpress watching for exactly this watch 😍
I got a body fat reduction pill commercial 🤷♂️ ... wanna switch?
@@karlsenula9495 my wife would say that I may need more the pill than the watch 🤣
@@terminathordeux lol
Thank you for your always excellent and quite informative videos!
Thank you so much 😁
Best explanation watch video. Keep it up
Thank you so much 👍

Exactly! Spot on! I tried to find a similar bracelet with the two-step endlinks in Aliexpress, but I can't find it... 😢

Nice episode, love your channel, thanks
Thank you 😁
Even if its not perfect, its a relatively cheap way to get a base model to mod.
Nonetheless, thank you for the review!
Beautiful watch!
Very good and honest review, as usual.
Not very good this Pagani Design 😕
Thanks for the video, Olivier !
Thanl you very much! It's not a bad one this one, not great either but among the best they have released
How many jewels? Show us the back. I didn't understand the 4th hand. It was a little confusing. EXCELLENT video!
It has 24 jewels. The movement is identical to the NH35 in looks, and we've all seen millions of those. The 4th hand is there to show your second time zone
I’m looking forward to seeing this version with a ceramic bezel.
The batman (black and blue bezel ) has a ceramic bezel but the Pepsi has an aluminum bezel
I think not. Oceaneva has a much higher spec GMT with the same movement. US based brand with actual warranty. Also the fit and finish is more in line with a 2-3K watch plus they actually have videos proving their WR. I dare to say it's the best value watch on the market I have seen.

Even with poor lume and some quality issues I still like Pagani because they are one of the very few Rolex Tudor homages that have regular opening grooves.
It was £100 including tax during the 11 11 sale so I would wait until April the the next sale.
I thought many Aliexpress sellers now have European warehouses/operations to work around the import tax issues?
@@karlsenula9495 Most don't have EU warehouse since VAT change, even if they had it before. At least for watches I usually look for. And it was the same price anyway, just faster shipping.
great video!
Thank you!
Seems to be $125 on Amazon mate, can you clarify whats the difference?
There is a cheaper version that looks the same but it has a pretty poor movement in it.
What Mark said. The version on Amazon has a Chinese low quality movement, this has the japanese Seiko NH34 GMT movement
It was during the 11/11 sale at the Pagani Official Store but I bought the Batman version of this with the NH34 for $124. The watch turned out very well and is amazingly accurate. The only problem was with delayed shipping that was handled poorly. I did have the previous version of this watch with the Chinese movement and that was terrible.
It's $77 during the June sale.
69.55$
Poor lume of Pagani watches ruining them they should increase the price a little bit and upgrade the lume
I agree your statement
Y did they make the numbers on the bezel thinner tho
That rehaut reminds me of Chicago deep dish pizza
Ahahahah! It completely is! 😂
Need 44mm . 40mm looks small on my wrist.
The lume is acceptable for the price, they can't sacrifice anything else for this build
The tandorio consistently fails water pressure tests...... Just claiming water residence without proper sealing. More compromises than Pagani design. There's always strange issues.... In finishing.... design....etc
Yep totally, those Tandorio prices come with that huge compromises
Still aliminium bezel
Unfortunately it's $215 for us Europeans... 30% more expensive
Yes I know 😔
what do you expect for 165.00 lol it tell you the mark up on watches lol . just like sun glasses . wake up
I’m still talking about Seiko gmt 😂😂😂
🤣
Rehaut is too high imo
I'd gladly pay more and stick with the Seiko. Can't stand the pagani brand.
And what about the Brand new San Martin NH34 GMT? th-cam.com/video/jHytM1SJ7_A/w-d-xo.html
@@Horologique I have a couple of San Martins, the sn017 sub and the sn004 retro diver. I've gone off homages but San Martin's are so well made I've hung onto them.
I have one of these and the cyclopes are awful.Wish they had left it off.
You can take it off, there are videos on how to do it
Uhh
No. Tandorio is better value
It cannot take 6bar of water, so all in all this is better value
@@Horologique it’s a GMT, not a diver, so 3 bar is good enough
the crown kills the whole watch...super ugly, clucky and big...no thnx
