I just got this in the version 2, because the short hands on this version was a deal-breaker for me. . I'm so happy that PD decided to make this homage, because I've always loved the Longines Spirit, but I think it's way overpriced. Also loved that they went with just the logo, and I hope they do that on every PD going forward. This watch is worth every penny and more!

@Bicep1234 2 года назад

I really like the narrow bezel. Even at 38mm, it looks smaller than the Phylida BB36 (with that sloped rehault). I wish PD would take their time with the V2. Not just 2mm extra on the hands, but also some anti-reflective coating and possibly a movement swap to the NH38. Maybe I'll need to wait for a V3. This probably won't get purchased until the next AliX sale though.

@thewatchfemme4051 2 года назад

@stephenhuber1079 2 года назад

I just looked at the Longines Spirit about an hour ago. Great timing! This PD homage is really done well except for no date window at the 3 o'clock position, it's very close to a dead ringer. I love that color blue! All the straps you showed looked outstanding, Steve. I really liked the blue silicone strap especially. Another excellent review!

@EscapeWheel 2 года назад

Thanks, Mr clean! Glad you enjoyed the strap show!

@gundamOPS 2 года назад

No date window was a good choice. Made the dial much cleaner. If they want a date window, it would be better to be placed at 6 instead of 3 just like the Genuine Longines Spirit 37. Besides, Longines also has a model with no date window in Titanium.

@daynevickers1079 2 года назад

Another great review! At $150, this one should be a 'Premium Pagani', IMHO. To make it worth that amount, like you, I'd like to see it with upgraded BGW9 lume, proper AR coating and, for those of us who like an exact 'Goldilocks' fit on the wrist, it should come with at least one half-link. Do that, Pagani, and I'm all in on this one.

@EscapeWheel 2 года назад

The lume and crystal are my biggest gripes with this one. But yeah, full retinal is a bit much, but I get it, this is basically a 1 off watch with not many reused parts from what I can see...that'll drive up the price as opposed to say a sub homage where everything is borrowed.

@johnholkham2420 2 года назад

I have the 40mm Spirit blue and this Pagani Homage really captures the Spirit of the Longines watch. The Longines Spirit is one of my favourite watches in my collection. Obviously the Longines is superior in all areas ie Movement , finish, Lume , readable and bracelet. But for the money it looks fantastic. I would still buy the Longines Spirit if you have the money.

@markharrison2484 2 года назад

@johngreene8856 Год назад

Mine just arrived today. The 38mm size is really just th right "in between" size for me. Chose the green and love the way different light makes the face appear lighter or darker. Nice to see a "push pin" bracelet from Pagani on this model. Also very noticeable is the bracelet is a lot smoother than the standard Pagaini oyster bracelets ... this bracelet is significant in the lack of sharp edges and corners and the clasp is easy to use ... no scuffing of finger nails to open. Very pleased.

@EscapeWheel Год назад

Yes, the bracelet is quite nice from Pagani. I have heard they upgraded to blue AR coating on the crystal. Have you noticed that?

@johngreene8856 Год назад

@ronb4115 Год назад

Just received this. The bracelet is subpar, the case and dial are excellent for the price. I threw it on a leather band and it looks good. It would be a homerun if it was less than 11.5mm thick. As for it being a homage, this is one example where it’s nice and I can’t believe anyone would pay $2K for the real one.

@EscapeWheel Год назад

I actually thought the bracelet wasn't that bad. Better than their oysters, fully articulating, nicer clasp than they usually use. Not perfect, but not horrible either

@gundamOPS 2 года назад

Despite the short hands, I'm glad that they shortened the lugs. Longines spirit 37 has a slightly longer lug-to-lug width and yet this 38mm watch wears smaller.

Steve, if you have any influence over Pagani Design, ask them to put a FLAT crystal with plenty of AR coating. Perhaps you might also make a video about the benefits of "cool distortion" on crystals. I heard it lots of times from watch reviewers saying how they love distortion, and I just don't understand it. Personally, when I look at my watch I want to see the dial, not mush.

@EscapeWheel 2 года назад

Haha, I used to be one of those guys...just like the bending of light I guess. But now I really appreciate a good flat sapphire or nice double dome

@peterbeck-rasmussen8514 2 года назад

If everybody is holding out and waiting for V2 it will never come ! :-) Pagani needs to sell at least the majority of V1 before they start producing V2 if they want to avoid loosing money on V1. To be honest, I don´t think the hands look that bad and the reflections dont bother me - ultimately it is a question of angling the watch to be able to see the dial/hands or maybe avoiding direct sunlight when looking :-) So I have ordered the blue V1 and am looking forward to receiving it. If V2 is a killer IRL and maybe if they have made other improvements I will consider buying the V2 also - maybe in a different colour :-)

Exactly. Double some and flat are acceptable IMO, single dome has nice distortions, but is crazy reflective.

@caktaylor 2 года назад

It will be nice if PD can get to the point where it finds the stupid design mistakes before the release version 1 of their watches. I understand lume, lack of AR, and clasp choice were probably made to get the watches to a certain price point, but the hands are just ridiculous. That was obviously a design choice and not a "cost" decision. Did they think no one would notice? How much is this going to cost them in lost sales while they get "version 2" produced? Why do they keep doing things like this? Enough ranting; now it's time for a wish. I would like to see a crown more in keeping with the conical, aviator style crown on the Spirit and other pilot watches. Maybe they will add that in version 3.
