I can't believe that I haven't actually done this before! Not a head-to-head review as such, more a mini reveiw of the new Pagani, and a closer look at some of the ways in which it gets close to the Roller, and some of the areas where it falls short. It gets closer than I woudl have thought, that's for sure! Cheers, Jody

Go with a pigani they will last generations if serviced every 10 years! These are amazing watches for the money! One watch maker said.... pagani should last just as long as a rolex if cared for!! That's insane!! No watch should cost 50k to wear... its called stupidity... there are way better investments then 50k rolex! Only for the dumb rich people with know sense!! Pigani all day!!

@chrisc475 3 года назад

At 6:29, you'll notice that the GMT hand jumps forward when Jody pushes in the crown. This can be infuriating but you need to roll the crown back ever so slightly when the GMT hand reaches the right place (obviously not so much that you change the date). By doing this you release the tension in the movement and you don't get the GMT hand jumping forward vwhen you press the crown in.

@misterrottweiler 3 года назад

Haha that drives me nuts with every GMT movement that doesn't have the hour jump going on, one reason to wish Pagani would use a seagull instead

@educarmar 3 года назад

almost as good as a rolex

@michaelkeefer4293 3 года назад

I had a Parnis GMT that had that same issue with the minute hand as well as the GMT hand jumping. Though it is true that backing off the crown a little to release the tension prevented the hands from jumping, I noticed that when I did that those hand would not start moving right away, it would take a half minute for the minute hand to start moving and it would take several minutes for the GMT hand to start moving, making it an infuriating process to set both hands precisely. That drove me crazy and I quickly got rid of the watch. Seeing that hand jump in Jody's video totally ruined it for me.

@brewno 3 года назад

I thought it jumped to the proper time, because Jody put the watch at 1:50 then adjusted the GMT to 18:00, but the watch auto adjusted the hand to 18:50 to be at the correct time.

Got mine last week and found the the movement IS truly the main concern. Second hand jumped ahead upon startup and was running 2-3 min/day slow. Regulated it to -10 to -15/ day and am ok with that. but still worry about it's longevity. LOVE the watch otherwise :-) One of the best "wearing" watches in my collection.

@rickgano75 3 года назад

I got mine about 4 1/2 hours ago sized it feels really comfortable. Gunmetal grey is currently a very popular color, upgrade from black. When I opened the box I have to admit I was surprised, (I've left buying homage a while ago I thought). For a little over a buck it's a bargain. Plus it comes with an orange NATO strap.

@DavidMoore-lz4bh 3 года назад

Great review and very fair, I bought one along with the Daytona, NTTD and Black bay heritage after your Ali express Homage video. First time with Pagani and Ali Express.So far very impressed with this and the Daytona certainly the Daytona is pretty close to my Stienhart Vintage Gmt, still waiting for the other two. I believe they have improved the finishing on the Black bay which I think you highlighted . Well that's what I have been told is the reason for the delay but they are in the uk now so hopefully have the last two by Friday.

@gustaff.weldon 3 года назад

Got it couple of weeks ago, I'd love to get one with the screw down crown. My observations so far. Finishing of the case and bezel is great. Lume is mediocre. The bracelet is great, almost on the level of Zelos. However, the clasp is a big disappointment. After two days of using is started getting loose and closing it requires slight realignment or using force. I guess I will buy a different clasp. The movement seem to be late, which aligns with the timegrapher tests, you've made. However, what I found super annoying is when you push down the crown after setting the time/gmt hand, the hands move. It happened to yours in the video at 6:27. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, it will scratch the itch until I get the real Explorer :)

@furzkram 2 года назад

I got the Pagani 1682 just 3 days ago, and I found they have now made the hands as big as the Rolex has them. The straight piece of the hour hand is now almost square as on the Rolex, and the minute hand is as wide as the circular hour index markers. The Mercedes star is also as wide as the Rolex. The seconds hand is also stronger now. And the GMT hand has the syringe tip too now. Looks pretty damned good now, I have to admit. If there only wasn't that scratching when you wind the movement. As if there is no lubrication applied inside the barrel. The deviation so far is zero to +3 seconds a day when the watch is worn, +7 to +10 when put on the shelf, no matter which way. The timegrapher shows any value between -30 and +30 within five minutes of observation in all possible positions. But when worn, only +few seconds at most - hey, that's what matters, and you can't complain about that, do you?!

@HonestWatchReviewsHWR 3 года назад

This is one of the Pagani Design watches I haven't actually reviewed... Yet anyway. It does look pretty good though. The hands do look a touch small however.

@misterrottweiler 3 года назад

I've had mine a week or just under and can agree with everything, for the asking price it's at least as good as every Pagani, but personally I think it's easily the best so far. On the movement I ca t see why it should fail prematurely. I have an Aeromatic GMT flieger watch which is still going strong with its cheap as chips Chinese movement of unknown origins. 7 years on its still faultless keeping good time 😎

@tholtan 3 года назад

I have a Parnis GMT that’s about 3 years old. It works pretty well, but the first adjustment setting is getting a bit hard to “find” and engage to set the date. I will eventually open it and have a look at what the problem might be. Other than that, it works well with about the same numbers you’re getting off you Pagani.

@Tonysoprano497 3 года назад

Agree the case finishing on the pagani is exceptional for the price . Major downside I found found the inner clasp has sharp edges and is uncomfortable on wrist . The movement is around 35 secs a day out a little more than I would normally tolerate . If it were not for these two flaws it would get some wrist time . Comfort is a must and sharp edges are uncomfortable and annoying so probably retired to a box and never worn .again ..

@Arthurzeiro 3 года назад

@czguy3045 Год назад

This was my first Pagani... definitely not my last. I was very impressed. I don't love the cyclops but I usually don't love cyclops. I definitely don't love the diver's extension. As you said, 'Why, Oh WHY Pagani?' The only people that is going to impress are non watch fans that happen to see one in a shop. NO watch guys are going to be won over because of that extension. Literally none. I do quite like the bracelet though, and the clasp, other than the extension. Overall though, amazing watch for the $$$. In my opinion, only bested by the Explorer 1 homage by Pagani which is probably a touch more versatile while this is more sporty. Pick your poison or get both. Yeah... get both.

@JonathanNelson-nelsonj3 3 года назад

I just got a Pagani Design PD-1662 (GMT Master II homage) and the clasp has an Easy Link inspired extension system that I think works really well. I use it to deal with my wrist size fluctuating throughout the day and I forget I am using it until my watch gets loose on my wrist.

I've had the Parnis GMT master for a good year, and the movement has just been exceptional. Never missed a beat and extremely low variation in accuracy month to month. Pretty gritty on the hand wind but it's a non issue. The only movement I've had in my budget collection that impresses me more is the one that came in the Parnis Explorer. DG three hander. Every bit of the action and performance is ETA good at least. China has been putting in the work for good affordable enthusiast watches, and I'm fairly sure they'll own the next few decades when enthusiasts my age start to come into financial security.

8:50 The "3" Is Way Easier To Read On The Pagani But Yeah, The Hands Are Smaller.... Got Mine A Couple Of Weeks Ago And Needed The Beat Rate, Thanks....

I find that if I set the GMT hand then slightly turn the crown away from me, I can avoid the 1 minute jump forward.

I bought the no time to die PD homage on your recommendation. For the price it's very good, obviously weighs a lot more than the Omega one.

Rolex Explorer 2 vs Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Gmt. Pls, compare these two great watches soon. Thank you 💓

Fantastic review..May I know did you have any SD 1954(steel dive ) review before? Thanks in advance..Keep it up the good and informative reviews...

@educarmar 3 года назад

what do you prefer, a red ferrari or a red fiat panda? They look almost identical, both red colour and 4 wheels... from 0 to 100km/h they drive at the same speed

@johndobbins8051 3 года назад

Years back I had an Alpha 1993 homage to the Explorer II and remember it quite fondly. Enough so that I went searching again for another the other day only to find none available. Bummer. Maybe I'll give Paganini a shot.

@mahmudulislamkhan 2 года назад

Thanks Jody for yet another awesome video. Very useful indeed. After all realistically speaking, how many of us can afford a luxury watch.... One question though, how are the PD watches regarding Durability (other models such as Submariner/aquaterra homage with NH35)? Any long term review??

Hey, great video. I see how you love cheap but distinctive watches. Will you review the Raketa/Pobeda 1961 "First Watch In Space" reissue? It's quite an unknown watch except in a few sub forums of WUS.

@jkratoville 2 года назад

Bought this watch for travel and very happy so far (6 months). However, I have to say that while the handset IS smaller than the current Explorer, they are about the same size as the previous version of this watch (Ref 16570) Have a look.

@jkratoville 11 дней назад

Well, 3 years and it's actually become slightly more accurate! It gets compliments and I enjoy wearing it. It's the watch I decided to take to Europe for two weeks. Great value.

@andysmith7903 3 года назад

Arrived today, just brilliant, screw down crown and no misalignment of the date magnifier. Great value for money. Thanks.

Jody interesting to look at, the San Martin hommage to the new Tudor Chrono with the ST1901 movement called the SN052G!

I hope you keep one of these around on a winder or wear it & keep us updated on how it lasts.

@leod1671 2 года назад

The latest version 24 hour hand does have the "syringe" tip to it and the hands appear more like the Rolex. Then again, I do not have a Rolex, so what do I know??

Spot on review Jody. Fortunately for me, mine is keeping very good time right now but only a week old.

@jamesblonde2271 3 года назад

I think the idices are smaller too and the dial texture a little less glossy too, the indices and hands contributing to a less attractivly crowded dial, too much flat white in comparison....

@paulhelmuth6012 3 года назад

Oh no! I may have to order this at some point. Still waiting for my 39 mm Steinhart 1655 to arrive after watching that video. I think the Explorer II is much better looking. Will resist for now. Also working on a recent Rolex 15200 (Date) acquisition. So, will resist the urge for now.

@Thiago-qt3tw 3 года назад

Great video, great tee! Speaking of Polars, Christopher Ward just released the C63 Sealander GMT. A review of this timepiece will be more than welcome. Compare this Pagani with this CW could be an interesting video. Cheers!

@christiantosumbung5791 3 года назад

Just bought this and for what I need it to do, a casual sports watch, it ticks all the right boxes. If only they came out with a 40mm version this would be the perfect everyday beater watch. Just cant see myself wearing a real rolex for the same duty due to the value of said watch.

@larryd4352 3 года назад

I had a late 1980's Explorer 2....it work great until the warranty ran out. After that...it spent more time being repaired than it did on my wrist! Finally, I gave up a put it back in its box and into drawer until it was stolen after Hurricane Katrina in 2005! Luckily...I had a rider on my homeowners insurance that covered theft. I got more $$$$ from them than what I had spent for the watch to begin with.

@terryloh8583 2 года назад

I think I'm going to pick this watch up. I agree with your opnions on this one... I love the stainless bezel, but just don't love that handset. How difficult would it be to replace the minute and hour hands?

@JustOneMoreWatch 2 года назад

Probably best to buy a watch you like 100% rather than going in thinking about making changes.
