Hello,
Welcome to my rushed review of the Pagani Ak project. I wanted to get the review up before the current Ali anniversary sale ended, so you wouldn't miss out on this frankly great watch for the price in the sale. I hope you don't mind the rough cut.
If you are of sound mind and will be buying this watch, you can purchase through my affiliate link
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDC...
and it would be appreciated greatly.
Cheers
Nick

I just grabbed one. I like that they openly admit it's a tribute to the speedy BUT also make it all their own with the red bezel, hands in the chrono subdials, etc so it's not a straight up speedy dupe/copy but rather their own take on it. I do wish some of these Chinese brands that have relied on homages did this more.
@thewristwatchnewschannel
@thewristwatchnewschannel Год назад
I prefer my homages to be more homage than clomage. The sad thing is that the Chinese brands do try to put out original designs now and again, but they just don't sell as well as the clomages.

Great presentation. I do not own the execution in question. I actually own the PD-1701 "Moon Watch Professional" V2. In case you're unaware, the "V2" has the mirror-polished, silver steel hands, and indices, which I very much like. I purchased this version intentionally, over the "V3" which is more aesthetically faithful to the original design, w/ it's bright white, powder-coated handset, and painted on indices. The "V2's" dial, is more reminiscent of that of the Omega, Speedmaster "Reduced." It is surprising how the model is in low light conditions, as the metal dial furniture, actually grab and reflect all available light. Mine also is absent the presence of ARC, which it desperately could benefit from. All in all though, for the price, I think these are some fun little watches!!! I'm glad to see Pagani keep expanding upon the line-up of different colorways available. I remain hopeful that they will release the Pagani "Tin-Tin." Now THAT, I would be all about!!!! Please do keep up the great work. Cheers....

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the info. I knew of the V2 with it's polished hands as I remember people complaining about them in the groups, whereas I thought it was a nice departure from the regular white hands. Pagani adding AR and not dramatically increasing their prices is a boon for sure. Phylida do a tin tin with the ST19 mechanical chrono but they are not regularly available, the watch head is very thicc (I had the regular moonwatch version for a while) and you have to put up with Phylida as a brand name on your wrist. Maybe not the best recommendation, ha.

I picked it up for $48 on the AliExpress 11-11 sale, said more on the page for final price but was even less once in my cart. I don’t remember getting the NATO strap, it did come with a little black push pin tool. I wish they did the big red shroud of the AK project, love the space capsule hands though. I had wanted the Mars MoonSwatch but the closest Swatch shop is 800 miles away. The bracelet is light and cheap. Ordered a red leather NATO/Zulu strap which hasn’t arrived yet, off Etsy, didn’t notice it was shipping from Ukraine at the time I ordered.

They're definitely not comparable, but in paganis defence, they are charging 100 bucks for the whole watch, whereas Omega would want closer to 1000 for the bracelet alone.

Cool. I've had the blue with white bezel "Uranus" version for a couple of months ago and it's been very good. The edges on the case were a little bit sharp but not too bad and a bit of 600 grade emery paper smoothed it nicely. Confession. I got the original Mission to Uranus when it came out in Istanbul, they all sold out but unusually there was just a small queue of 30 or 40 peoples. Anyway got it because I liked the colour, but my god, it is a piece of 💩. I lost the top pusher just fell off on the street somewhere, crystal got scratched and I got a blue coloured wrist. Got my money back because of the blue wrist. They probably would have blamed me on the pusher and the crystal. Saw an ad for the Pagani and immediately got it. It's just a world away in quality from the plastic crap. PS. I didn't realize the bezel was sapphire, I actually thought it was ceramic! Excellent review!! I'm probably going to get this one later on.

Cheers and thanks for the comment. I was all in to buy a mission to the moon when they were announced but couldn't get one for love nor money. When the reviews came in I was glad I wasn't afforded the opportunity. Swiss made doesn't always mean better, and although a lot of people say it's an omega. It's a swatch with omega branding.

At 11:20 , did you notice the minute hand jump a little after resetting? I have this problem as well and have it on another vk63 watch. Was wondering if it is a wide spread problem or is it just a case of an get unlucky with the qc
@thewristwatchnewschannel
@thewristwatchnewschannel Год назад
I hadn't caught that just watched the video back and I think I can see it. Just tried replicating it with the watch at different times and it wasn't doing it or my eyes couldn't pick up the wobble. I've had a few VK64's but this is my first VK63 haven't had any issues with it on wrist, not sure if there's a wider issue. Caliber corner who I mentioned in the video will usually list any known issues with movements and they haven't mentioned anything so may be luck of the qc.

Hi sorry for the late reply only now seen your message. The VK63 hacks so if the crown is out then it will stop. If this isn't sorted already try unscrewing the crown pulling out to time setting pushing firmly back before screwing the crown down again and the seconds hand should be moving?

Good to hear. The larger hand is the chrono hand, so that only moves when the pusher is pushed otherwise, it sits a 12.

This is why I've been struggling with entry tier watches of the swiss and japanese of late. The Chinese watches are now matching their quality and have gone up in price to do so but nowhere near the same cost. Now I know many will say labour is cheap and the economics of communist run China allows it, but materials cost what materials cost in the end.
