I've been tempted by this watch so many times, every time I see it on Aliexpress I want to buy it but then I see the thickness and boy is it thick! That crystal really sticks out! I've never had a watch this thick that I've felt was genuinely comfortable. Thanks for the detailed review.
I gotta say, when I want to REALLY see a watch, I come here. Your macro and other "B-roll" footage, are always crystal clear. With a sapphire crystal both front and back on a sub-$100 watch these days, there is NO excuse for any company not using sapphire on their watches. Absolutely none..... Great review BTW. I actually like the thickness of this piece. I wish they would redo the vintage AIr KIng, just like this. I feel like the bracelet was the major detractor from that model
@@EscapeWheel hell yeah man... it really doesn't go unnoticed. Your footage looks so professional that I wasn't expecting such a real and humble response lol! You'd almost expect a team of people to be doing your video, the quality is that good
@@the_9ent Point well taken... Then again, the price to value ratio just doesn't work... Paying thousands more n not getting the difference in terms of value? Definitely not 20+ times the quality at the very least... However, this piece is really well made. So for those who don't see the point or splurging the extra thousands or trying this on for size while aiming for the Ranger... This makes perfect sense. 😁
That is a VERY nice watch. Leaving out the Pagani lettering and just putting that applied logo on it was a great decision. I'm finishing my 11/11 shopping but will certainly keep this in mind. Excellent review.
Thanks for the review. I ordered this on AE 2 days before the sale. They made a coupon mistake, but decided to honour it anyway. Cost $21.73 CAD. Will be a gift this Christmas.
@@EscapeWheel a 36mm, will go to my wife. Will make watch #15 for her. She had 10 watches when I met her. She wears my watches from time to time as well.
Just got mine in. What a solid and beautiful watch! Only negatives are the lume (but I don't care too much about that) and the clasp which is really terrible. I'd suggest Pagani changes it for a decent glidelock for a few bucks more. Highly recommended!
Got the Dryden Heartland Ranger instead due to it having the high beat Miyota 9039, my favorite affordable movement. And it is thinner at 11mm. Introductory low pricing ended on Halloween.
The box looks more like that of an old Tudor of the 60s-70s than the modern ones today. I like this, because it gives it a certain "vintage" touch that fits very well.
@@EscapeWheel Yes , thanks. I'm enyoing the watch too much. I adjusted it for + 5 s/d and testing it... NO need to pay 60+ times more for an equivalent Tudor or Rolex, really. I do have a similar Date Rolex and its NOT that many times better.
Great watch! It becomes one of my favorites Pagani. If only the loom was similar to SM, it would be almost perfect (for the price). Great review, Steve. Thanks 👍
I think they should have put a glide lock clasp but not the long one, or the flip lock with side pushers. The lume definitely needs to be improve, and even if they don't put a lot of it, at least the hands should stay lumed longer than the markers. What good will the markers do if you can't see the hands!? Also agree, the brushing is now following the same pattern throughout, I have seen in the past, the brushing on the case is vertical and the bracelet is horizontal on the end links or a completely different brushing altogether. Anyway, great review and strap fashion show!
I see right around 12mm. they could trim off another half mm with a solid caseback, too. problem is, will the flat crystal cause interference with the hands? my guess is yes.
Outstanding review, very detail oriented, many thanks for your service to the watch community ! This puts, from a price perspective, the islander / urban gentry model to shame (I think it's $379 with a closed case back)....
Hi, can you tell me what material is made of the crown in this model ? I have an allergy to nickel and I have one watch from them where the crown was from bronze covered with nickel. Thank you
for a V1 its a great watch - and the price is very very good for the specs there. a small tweak or two and this would be a no brainer. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
thanks for watching! if they toned down the crystal, or the bezel/rehaut and maybe a slightly slimmer caseback, and good lume, this would sell really well at like $130-ish
Steve, that dial and hand set are gorgeous. Question.....I know you said that Pagani does, but are you aware of Rmalti watches being housed and shipped from warehouses, here in the U.S. as well??? I really would love to pick-up the Rmalti RM001 that you reviewed a while back, but don't want to potentially deal w/ the wait of 2 to 3 weeks to receive it, much less the reverse should I need to return it. Your assistance w/ this would be much appreciated
as far as I know, I don't think so. if you are interested in my personal RM001 I may be willing to part with it....the life of a watch reviewer is you never have enough time to wear all your watches and you always need the space...lol Email me at escape.wheelwr@gmail and maybe we can work something out.
I can't help but notice that the crown does not screw down flush with case. I received the same watch last week & it has the same problem. I had to change out the threaded crown tube in the case so it would screw down flush. There's another reviewer on TH-cam that had the same problem.
can't make my mind up honestly this or 1723 in black. the 12 hour marker digits could put me off completely it looks as if '1' seems shorter or higher printed than number 2 in every picture i've seen so far of the 1751. is it really like that in person? how does the two compare, any difference in finishing?
Same in most areas. The 1723 is thinner for sure. As for the 12, it's not something I remember noticing in person....I think the crystal distorts the dial so much that I can appear that way, but it's really not misprinted.
Ahhh I thought I was the only one with this problem. Is this being discussed on reddit or something? I swear I don't see anyone else talking about it. Tbh I barely touch the crown anyway so I can live with it.
@@tomcruz3774 I just received mine & it had the same problem. The crown tube is too long for the crown cavity. It will screw down flush if you remove the inner gasket, but then what's the point? It's not the stem length. I tried it without the stem in the crown,same issue. I had to change out the threaded crown tube in the case to a shorter one & now it screws down flush. Pain in the ass.
And I'm waiting for this one to arrive. Pictures on their site show both a polished bezel and a brushed one. Amateurs I purchased this one instead of the San Martin because of that polished bezel.
The only thing I don't like about this one is the numerals, but I guess that's Tudor's fault. Any suggestions for the 11.11 sale. Got a few in my sights the PD Doxa, the new Berny Aqua Terra, and maybe the PD BB diver.
Pagani, San Martin, and Berny all have some pretty Killer deals for 11.11. I saw the SN004 from san martin for $140 i think? Cadisen seamaster for $85, Berny's new compressor for $85. too many good ones...out fo the 3 your listed, I'd probably go for the PD Doxa...but I have to say, I'm more impressed with my Tactical Fog Doxa homage V3
@@manuelmikewa ah, that one is fairly new. I've had the same strap in other colors for a few months with lots of use and they are holding up well so far.
I know they are different styles of watches, but between this one and the PD1723 (air-k), which do you think is better executed? I´m torn between the two models (PD 1723 Vs PD 1751). Do you have a preference between the two? And if so, why? Thanks a lot and great review😃
I've heard Pagani is looking into swiss superluminova. They currently have nobody that can apply it 🤷. Here's to hoping they can get their lume game on point.
Thanks for a great review. Love almost everything about this watch, except for the height. It's just too tall. I'm hoping there's a good Ranger that comes out soon rivalling this one that is shorter!
San Martin just added a 36mm variant, fixed the mismatched lume (apparently) and made a model with BGW9. it's your best bet right now...but nearly double the price.
I own a lot of Pagani's. I would challenge anyone to suggest a better value proposition: nh35 super reliable movements. The majority of the time have display case backs (which san martin never ever does). Sapphire on the front are rear. Compare these watches to: nth (which I own), islander watches, san martin, etc. Higher end mechanical movements are nice but everyone can service an nh35 and they stand the test of time. PD has blossomed into a really nice manufacturer for the money. A suggestion: drop the divers extension. And always have screws vs. pins in the bracelets.
Honestly, if they would just concentrate on making their watches thinner, adding good lume, and find a nice clasp in 16 and 18mm...they would demolish almost anyone.
Really nice watch, do really wish they'd gone for a matte dial on this one over the gloss. Enjoying mine at the moment before I get it under the review camera
They are so different. One is a large Chrono, ones a small field watch. I think both are executed well. Probably on par with each other...but they are just so different. Think about the size, and what you want out of a watch and base your decision on that.
I just got mine in today, and does anybody else notice that the "6" marker on the dial is slightly askew to the right compared to the "12" on top? It makes the dial look ever so slightly asymmetrical and I can't unsee it now :( do share if you guys notice this too on yours
Wrong dude. I love high domed crystals and thick small watches. And they are rare these days. This is how the Bubbleback was. The watch is a vintage copy, not a new thin watch. Small thin watches offer more wrist presence and are masculine.
If it weren't Pagani, this would be tempting. Highly impressed with the boxed crystal. Better than any boxed sapphire that even San Martin uses. High box, seems like slight domage too, though not sure, but if so, likely double-domed, as it is so unusually clear, free of any distortion. Meaning that is an expensive piece of crystal. (And then the sapphire on the back, too...) It's just the brand that is the problem. Pagani is just not a company that is as serious about the details as, e.g., San Martin clearly is. Case in point is the lume. Pagani just doesn't ever give a shit about this. And, it is this overall attitude of "just get it acceptable enough to sell," rather than "get it right, and then price it right to sell" that rubs the wrong way about Pagani.
Looking at the pics on Ali, it appears as if the crystal is not domed past the boxing. Just flat. Still a high box, and likely not a cheap piece of crystal. Impressive for them to use this on a watch that is priced so competitively (and, again, the back also being sapphire).
It's just lume. I barely get to see the lume of my watch because it's either bright enough where I am, or I am in a dark environment long enough that even my Seiko lumes are just gone. For a watch MORE THAN half the price of the San Martin, I'll gladly take it over that. It's (barely) a sacrifice that I would take over a $125 price difference.
ever since banging my orient on my quartz countertop and scratching the crystal, I have been ultra careful in my kitchen...counters are at just the right "arm hanging down" height....so i walk around with my hands up high now :)
Just had this watch delivered through AliExpress and, of course, it doesn't work. I really should have known better. Have you guy ever attempted to return a watch to China to get a refund?! Please, please be aware that if your watch is faulty the guarantee is pretty much worthless. 100 quid down the drain. You have been warned!
It all depends on the store. Thankfully I haven't had much of an issue with DoA watches. Just make sure to keep that tracking number, take pictures, weigh the package etc.
It’s their intention to use a bad lume. If they use some good lumes then it will eat up their other brands. They will never improve that awfully bad lume unless we stop buying them.
what other brands do they own? AFIAK, Pagani is the top of the food chain, with Pagrne, Benyar, and Lacz Denton falling under them. they could easily start adding superluminova and change an extra $15
I can't understand why Pagani Design aren't using the NH38A movement for their no day or date complication watches. If Baltany A11 has the NH38A movement, Pagani Design should be following suit. JANBOY. RN. Rtd.

I’m genuinely blown away by how good this watch is. I’m considering getting this instead of a San Martin I had my eye on.
Tough call. 2X the price, and now SM has 38 and 36mm sizes AND Fauxtina or white lume.
Same. I love mine since I put a glidelock clasp on it. It’s kinda ruined Swiss watches for me. Why pay $1000+ ever again?

Just had this watch delivered through AliExpress and, of course, it doesn't work. I really should have known better. Have you guy ever attempted to return a watch to China to get a refund?! Please, please be aware that if your watch is faulty the guarantee is pretty much worthless. 100 quid down the drain. You have been warned!
It all depends on the store. Thankfully I haven't had much of an issue with DoA watches. Just make sure to keep that tracking number, take pictures, weigh the package etc.
Summary of the dialogue of your videos:
"Yeah, I think it looks pretty good" or "I like that a lot" x100times.
I prefer the pagani air king version
it's definitely a more sleek case.
san martin does it better
looks too bulky !
The proportions are all wrong.
Poor lume? Sorry, I'm gonna pass.
the Achilles Heal of Pagani Design
The crystal looks ridiculous..
It’s their intention to use a bad lume. If they use some good lumes then it will eat up their other brands. They will never improve that awfully bad lume unless we stop buying them.
what other brands do they own? AFIAK, Pagani is the top of the food chain, with Pagrne, Benyar, and Lacz Denton falling under them. they could easily start adding superluminova and change an extra $15
I can't understand why Pagani Design aren't using the NH38A movement for their no day or date complication watches. If Baltany A11 has the NH38A movement, Pagani Design should be following suit. JANBOY. RN. Rtd.
