Here is one I have had my eye on, and decided to try it out. Great reputation from what I have read... For those of us that can't afford or justify spending $6k+ on an Omega Moon watch... or don't like the $250+ Swatch and Omega collaboration because they are still plastic watches... What are your options?
In comes Pagani Designs to save the day.

Thanks for the review. I bought the original Omega about 40 years ago when I first earned my professional pilots license. It has gained a lot of value over the years so it stays in a secure place now. I really like to look of the omega so I am strongly considering ordering this one based on your detailed review. I’ve also watched a couple of your videos about TuneECU which were very helpful as I learn to update my Triumph 1050ST. Cheers.

Glad you enjoy! Have two more watches coming... a nice Casio Edifice. Chrono, as well as a Bertucci A2T field watch in Titanium...

The best way to remove blue protective stickers from the crown and the pushers - Scotch Tape (or equivalent). Touch the blue sticker with the sticky part of your Scotch Tape, press, and then simply peel off. You're welcome! p.s. Amazing skill setting the date - you obviously have a great deal of experience with watches 👍🏻

I completely agree with your point of view, thank you for this video and that decent alternative.

Thanks for the great video. I share with you the same concept. It was as if me speaking & showing my collection. Question: I have been recently looking for a pagani PD-1701 with the EXACT bezel like the speedmaster, but I couldn't find any! Like almost all the sellers add photos of the watch with the original bezel look but when you actually get the watch you get the bezel similar to the one you are showing in the video. Any idea about a source from which i can guarantee getting the correct bezel on this watch?

@SquireSCA 2 месяца назад

Not really sure. I saw this one and it's a great watch so I grabbed one. Haven't really researched beyond that.

Speedmaster not Seamaster. Other than that good review! Thank you!

@stephenhaynes603 Месяц назад

yes there very good watches . i have the older version with S/S bracelet it is excellent value indeed. the lume is naff but works in total darkness for a short couple of hours. thanks for the video . the black denim type style looks nice on this piece.

Finally, a great common sense video. I’m right with ya. Yeah, I picked up the Pagani but ditched the 25 cent strap and ordered a ZULUDIVER elastic Bond style strap. It upgrades the watch dramatically. I do wish Pagani would loose the Pagani name and just use their logo instead. Thanks for sharing.

@SquireSCA Месяц назад

Yeah, I just got a decent NATO strap in olive drab for mine, and it looks great.

Why on earth have they dropped the iconic 2 dots at 12o'clock ? I would never choose this version over the previous 2-dot one.

@SquireSCA 15 дней назад

I don't know, never heard of the 2 dots so I don't miss them. lol

This is a nice watch but my pick for best Speedy homage is the Phylida SP-31. It comes in 3 versions, the classic moonwatch, the TinTin and the reverse panda. All come with a mechanical chronograph Seagull ST-19 movement. They cost a little more and can be hard to find in stock but is well worth it if you can get one.

@SquireSCA Месяц назад

I will be honest I am not that into mechanical movements. The service that has to be done every few years is one thing... But when you have like 20 watches, you don't wear the same one every day... so if I had a bunch of mechanicals I would be constantly winding and setting them... I tend to refer quarts, and especially solar quartz. In particular, the Bulova 266Khz movements are just excellent, and insanely accurate... Just change the batter every few years and go. On my Citizen solars and my G-shocks, I might have to swap out a solar cell in like 15 or 20 years... Its so easy to just grab it and go...

@sinjinadams2862 Месяц назад

I'm with you on Solar Quartz but I'm not a fan of regular quartz watches. I own about 40 mechanical watches and only wind them when I wear them. I see no reason to keep a watch wound when I'm not wearing it. Just puts to much wear and tear on the watch.

@SquireSCA Месяц назад

Yeah, but when the watch has the date or day of week, then its a pain to have to set it every time you wear it. If it was the same watch I wore day after day, then I would likely go with a nice mechanical...

@sinjinadams2862 Месяц назад

@SquireSCA HaHa! Okay! I understand having to reset a watch with a perpetual calendar but the day and date! I'll be nice and not say what I really think. 😁😁

@SquireSCA Месяц назад

@@sinjinadams2862 It's fine, if you want to call me lazy, I have thick skin... haha I just want to grab the watch I want to wear for that day and not have to dick around with winding it and setting it every time. Not to mention, quartz tends to be more accurate, especially my Bulova 266Khz ones that are accurate to within 10 seconds per YEAR. No replacing of springs... just toss in a new battery every couple years and they good...

Speed master...

@SquireSCA 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I realized that last night when I was reading up on something... I was like DAMN IT. lol

@h.m.1867 2 месяца назад

Is the Bulova better than the 1701?

@SquireSCA 2 месяца назад

Yeah, IMHO. I prefer quartz, which I know is heresy with the watch crowd, but replacing a battery every couple years, is better than getting the watch serviced and the spring replaced, etc... Not to mention quarts is more accurate, and when you have a lot of watches, if you don't wear the automatic every day, then everything you wear it you have to wind it and set the time and date. Also, the Bulova has the better warranty, easier customer service as its a US company, etc... But its 4x the cost, so there is that to consider... I prefer the larger size of the Bulova, but that's just me.

@h.m.1867 2 месяца назад

Ok, for me the Pagani is big enough. but the material processing is the same?

@SquireSCA 2 месяца назад

@@h.m.1867 Are you meaning, is the fit and finish and quality the same? No. The $100 Pagani is not on the same level as the $6k-$30k Omega. But it IS a very nice watch, and the internals are Seiko, so it can be serviced my most watch jewelers...

@h.m.1867 2 месяца назад

I meant the comparison between the Bulova, Moon Watch and the Pagani in terms of finish and overall quality. I hope you understand my English.

@SquireSCA 2 месяца назад

The Bulova is a little nicer, and the accuracy is higher.

@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya Месяц назад

1 trillion x better than moon swatch crap… 👍👍👍

@SquireSCA Месяц назад

Yeah, I wanted to like that watch and was gonna get one, but to pay that much money for a plastic watch? I know that Swatch owns Omega, so it was a legit collaboration... but its still a Swatch with an Omega label slapped on it...

@FT4Freedom 3 месяца назад

This is a wise purchase. Luxury is a myth

@SquireSCA 3 месяца назад

I mean, some are... I would like to have a legit Tudor, or Rolex or Omega at some point... But for now, the homages work, as well as my Citizens, Tissot and some others...
