What's happening good people, its about time this one hit the review bench and well here is my take. We all know by now this is Paganis third attempt at this watch, but is this time a winner or do they need yet another go?

Hey guys, I know this one has taken a while but we're finally reviewing the 1701 V3, its taken them a while to get here, but is third time the charm? BTW, if you missed yesterdays video, check it out because its competition time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6iqMzLhaoyA.html Thanks guys for everything and have an awesome weekend

Certainly a better watch and much better value than a certain unobtainable bioceramic chrono.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

That's true, it's certainly better value than that. Thanks

@danilom3166 2 года назад

100%. It's lunacy what happened with that "bioceramic" toy

@not-a-raccoon Год назад

80 to 90ish for a solid, well put together piece, or ocer 200 for something that feels like a Happy Meal toy? Hmmmmmm... 🤔😏

@not-a-raccoon Год назад

Wearing mine as I watch this. I never pulled the trigger on a Pagani until this one. They never just did it for me and there was always a higher quality alternative for a little bit more. I'm glad I bought this one, though. It's well done, and very comfortable.

@WesWatchRoom Год назад

Glad to hear you're happy with it. Thanks for watching

@jasonbostock408 2 года назад

great review I managed to size the watch but you are correct more links are needed it's a great movement I find, and better quality for a change lume is terrible as usual

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

I know mate, it's typical Pagani. Some good a lot not. Thanks very much for watching

@sdavifcom 2 года назад

Visually speaking, that's my kind of watch. Totally my style. By the way, thanks a bunch for including Canadian price. Very much appreciated.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

You're welcome and it is nice looking, I'd personally swap the bracelet for something else though. Thanks

@wadehodges8006 2 года назад

I’ve had mine for a while, and while I do have a slimmer wrist I didn’t have the sizing issue at all! I agree about the bracelet refinement needing to be improved but mine doesn’t cut or irritate my wrist at all so maybe I got lucky! Great honest review though!

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Thanks very much and yeah I've seen some that are fine, so it's a bit hit and miss with them still

@bluecollarwatches7048 2 года назад

Chronographs not really my flavor, but at its price point I definitely see the appeal.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Yeah they do have an appeal but I understand why you might not like them. Cheers

@MirrlyonTime 2 года назад

On one macro it appeared that the end link was sticking up a little and raise above the lug of was that just me? Couldn’t agree more about a little ar coating would be great on this watch. And of course the lume could always be better on these. It’s a sharp looking watch and the vk63 movement is a real plus on this. Ugh, lume doesn’t even make it 5 min, so bad lol but expected. Great review as always m8

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Thanks mate and I've just checked and seems okay, could have just been the weird angle I shot it at. I think the VK is probably the thing that will last the longest.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

@driller7714 Год назад

I took 400 grit sandpaper to all of the edges of the bracelet. It’s still not great but it is at least tolerable now.

@hansbischoff8391 Год назад

I bought a V3 ( still wait delivery) and the seller on Aliexpress told me me the watch does have ARcoating?? So I dont understand some sites say AR and some mention No ARcoating??

@eleveneleven572 2 года назад

I have a V2 and the issues for me are the crystal is very reflective whilst the hands and markings are not plain white but have silvered edges which together makes the dial unreadable in many situations. By contrast I have a Bulova Moonwatch where they are white and they really are extremely legible.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Yeah I skipped the V2 because of the legibility issues, this one is much better on that front, but does cut corners elsewhere. I'd love a lunar pilot, but way too big sadly. Thanks

@stalkingwatcheschannel 2 года назад

Excellent review mate, its disappointing to see Pagani fixed with a bellow average bracelet for an otherwise well executed watch!

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Thank you mate and yeah, I'm probably going to try a few straps on it first while looking for an aftermarket one from aliexpress.

@NathanChisholm041 Год назад

The bracelets fine what do you except for the $$$?

@1550tc Год назад

Best watch in their line. Just buy your self a Barton blue white stitching sail cloth band and it even looks better! Or in summer a white silicone band

@WesWatchRoom Год назад

That's a good shout, this bracelet isn't the best at all. Thanks

@mu5mu595 Год назад

Heh it even has the dot over 90. I think I might have to pull the trigger on this one and order a nice black leather strap with it.

@rayharrison6400 2 года назад

Not a bad looking watch. I think the plus points outweigh the niggles to be fair. Case finish is just ok and looks over engineered so it’s too rounded on the edges. That’s from someone who owns a speedie, so I am biased to be fair. Same old issue with the clasp though

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Yeah mate, its got its good points and its bad ones too. Thanks for watching

@watch-box 2 года назад

I think this is a case of close(er), but no cigar. That said, if you can buy it on sale, and swap out the bracelet, there is a decent watch for the money here. Paganis problem is that there are a lot of better meca quartz watches for sale - many of them by Pagani!

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

You're right about that, get this on a better bracelet and it would be so much nicer. And you're spot on there too. Thanks

@ronch550 Год назад

This watch for whatever reason looks better on RU-vid than in real life. The lack of AR coating on the crystal makes it so reflective in real life.

@hansbischoff8391 Год назад

Now has AR coating!

@ovidiududau2050 Год назад

I bought the pd 1701 v3, and it came with the sharp edges, which don't bother me much, but the tachymetre hand isn't perfectly aligned ,and my bottom pusher gets stuck. Should I send it back?

@johnsweeney5946 Год назад

In the Amazon listing for the V3, on the "questions" part, they indicate that this model is also available without a date window. The link they give for this just takes you back to the date model. Do you know anything about this? The Moonwatch did Not have a date window and the homage should not have one either.

@WesWatchRoom Год назад

I don't to be fair, I got mine from Aliexpress and as far as I'm aware there is only the date version. Thanks

@johnsweeney5946 Год назад

@@WesWatchRoom I think you're right and Amazon got it wrong. Certainly Pagani would never miss a chance to graft a date window on anything they can, including their Daytonas. I'm just amazed they rightly left this feature off on their Paul Newman Daytona, I'll bet there was a big fight about this pro and con. Lol

Not bad but that lousy lume always gives me pause. Would it kill them to get decent lume?

@guyo68 2 года назад

You're missing the crazy value proposition here. For these specs, and with this watch scratching the Speedmaster itch so well, at least for me, I find complaints about the lume a bit nitpicky.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

Probably not, but they're not in a rush to fix it.

@WesWatchRoom 2 года назад

@@guyo68 I see where you're coming from, but at the same time, the addies diver is £30 cheaper and the lume destroys this. So it can be done

@guyo68 2 года назад

@@WesWatchRoom AddiesDive does indeed have crazy lume (I'm loving mine, too). Having said that, I'm not aware of them offering a good Speedmaster homage, if any, and I remain grateful to Pagani for letting me enjoy the largest selection of beloved watch designs at "good enough" quality, and at largely unbeatable bang for the buck. I have zero expectations from them in terms of lume, so even the PD-1701 v3 satisfies me in that regard (I've experienced no patchiness in the marker lume on mine, and the lume generally lasts well until I doze off. Good enough in my book!

@@guyo68 that's true, Pagani are one of the few offering an affordable one so I suppose we should perhaps cut them some slack.
