Top 10 Pagani Design Watches! (And 4 To Avoid......) 

When you show more than one watch in the same shot, thank you for synchronizing the watches to the exact second. My OCD appreciates the effort you took to accomplish that.

I love how jody says hellloooooooo. The hellloo just brightens up my day and charges me up and makes me excited to see the video further

Just ordered the 1667 from your link, love Pagani’s, this will be my 3rd and definitely not my last! Keep up the great content! You need to let more people know about shorter links on the front of the strap to make it sit better on the wrist! I changed all of mine and they are way more comfortable.

I love watches and enjoy having a variety to wear with outfits outside of work but being a family man I don’t have a lot of money to spend on them so I appreciate videos like this very much. It’s one thing to buy a cheap watch but comprising on quality is another.

Just wanna say the script/wording in this video is really good - informative and concise but entertaining, caveats very well phrased etc. Top work Jody

Thanks to your earlier review, I've just ordered the Seestern Sub300t (version 2). Fingers crossed it lives up to the great review. Thanks for all your hard work steering us in the right direction, Jody ⌚👍

This channel cured me of my terrible G-Shock addiction. I am being completely serious. I have learned so much from Jody and I still love Casio non-G's, they can't be beaten in terms of cost performance but I have learned there are other fantastic brands out there. Thanks a lot, Jody👍💖

Much love brother…your content always brightens my day! Love watches!

My first Pepsi GMT didn’t work and I was absolutely gutted . It was a gift from my lovely mother and she kindly comforted me and I sent it back and replaced it with an identical watch which isn’t perfect at all, but works well, looks great, and is great to wear. (The bezel is a touch sloppy and it runs fast. That can probably be adjusted). I also have a Pagani Daytona and Seamaster and they’re absolutely fabulous. The panda Daytona is just stunning. I highly recommend Pagani design

I bought the No Time To Dive homage after your first review and bought it on the rubber strap, and I LOVE it. However, the supplied rubber strap angles downward from the lugs, which doesn't effect comfort, but was too steep an angle for an ideal fit for me. I replaced it with a black sailcloth strap and now it's perfect. Sure, the bezel insert could use a little more glue to stop from a small rattle when you tap it, but I expected that sort of deficiency so it doesn't bother me. A simple fix, but I can't be bothered. haha Thanks for the recommendation!

My GMT which surprisingly came with a 120 click bezel before they advertised it, is still running at +1 second every 4-5 days after a year of ownership. Definitely my most accurate mechanical watch, including Swiss ones & looks awesome getting beaten up on various straps including the jubilee. Perfect travel beater for me, when we can finally get away again 😀

Pagani is very popular in Indonesia. People really like Pagani homages, it's not without reason that in Indonesia the average salary per person is 300 US dollars for one month, and in some cities it is sometimes less than that. For developing countries like Indonesia, Pagani Design really helps make people feel what it's like to wear a watch, of course at an affordable price. cheap for people in America does not mean cheap for the average person in Indonesia, because our currency is weak. At least homage watches are the answer to the feeling of wearing and owning a watch.

Absolutely love your lists!

Still happy with my fluted bezel I ordered after watching your vid on it a few years ago. Glad to still see it on top of the list.

You got me with the "Beater-Chrono"..... looks great. Just ordered. Thanks Jody!

perfect timing - wanted to buy a bunch of these anyway and even better to get a recommended list, and all the ones I want are in there too!

Nice one, Jodi! I'm also so pleased I saw this video before I bought that Speedmaster alike that's been in my AliExpress shopping basket for a week - phew

You were born for this Mate ! Thanks for the info ! Cheers !

I just purchased the aquaracer and the dress watch for $110. You cannot beat that. Thanks Jody.

Just ordered the leaf dial! Thanks Jodi!

I only have one Pagani its the 1707 chronograph and its actually 200m water resistance dude, it has screw down pushers too, the dial and finish is excellent for very little money , first pagani and first Ali purchase 👏

just got an explorer pagani. I love it its a really good watch and the build and quality is there. like he said its the best value for the cost.

Great video! Thanks!!!

just dropped that mecha-quartz into my cart Thanks for putting this information together Jody. Cheers!

Jody, your videos are always great and informative. I am looking for a suggestion from you. In another review of the PD-1715 the bracelet was given poor marks, and I was wondering if you could suggest a high-quality bracelet that would fit and complement this watch. Afterall, even with the added cost it would still be a great value. Also, can the watch be ordered without the cyclops? Please advise.

I have 2720 and I can confirm that it is a very nice looking, accurate and reliable chronograph. For me there is no better quality watch in this price category. 🙂

I have the speedy version 3, with the white hands. Love it. Think my next watch will be the PD1691 or the PD1752. Like you said, I need a dress watch for the corner of my box.

Thanks again Jody for the helpful list! I bought the No Time To Die Seamaster last year after watching your video and I will say that the mesh watch band is the way to go on this one. I didn’t buy the Pagani band but another brand and it truly takes this watch up to another level and makes it more of a dress watch. We’ll have to chat after you watch the film: mixed emotions for me being a die hard Bond fan. Enjoy!

Got the Pagani "Speedmaster" (second version with the white hands) on your recommendation, and love it save one problem. I don't know if this is particular to mine, but when the watch clasp is buckled, I only have to press down on one of the two buttons to get it to come undone. Can't speak to every watch out there, but I can say with confidence my Steeldive 1970 at the same price point doesn't do that. Threw it on a 20mm Barton black leather strap and it became a very nice dressy-ish watch.

Thx Jodi, great list. Agreed on the GMT Paganis, I have one of those with a Pearl inside but noticed it does not drive the GMT hand very accurately at all.

Perfect timing Jody! I was "feeling brave" so I went with a Pagani rootbeer two-tone with rose gold, great price for 11/11...enjoy the movie, it's entertaining!

Ive just bought the NTTD one on a mesh bracelet. Unfortunately it no longer has an exhibition case back, and i think has the sekio epson yn55 movement. Nice watch and the mesh bracelet is very comfy.

I have waited all my life for this video

Could you do a review on the "torblillon" pagani's? The PD 1656 to be exact. Thanks man. Loving the videos

All kinds choice at affordable prices. There is really no reason not to buy!! 👍👍👍

Great watches and great review! 👍

12:30 - You're probably the ONLY RU-vidr who's including this very model with the NH35A movement and a slightly altered bezel, rather than the standard Aquaracer homage with NH36A day/date and the standard bezel! I own this model since August and (almost) wear it daily, and I've had zero issues with it. It's a great homage with high quality materials, a very reliable movement and definitely the closest you'll get to an actual Aquaracer if you're on a tight budget!

I avoided the 11/11 sale temptations (barely!) in lieu of a Swiss hopeful, but did get the Pagani NTTD on mesh during previous sale a few months ago. I love the bracelet, it's so light and comfy, and now I'm good at working the clasp, which wasn't so easy at first. The watch with its unusual and expensive looks has risen to #1 in current rotation. The one weak point on mine is the bezel, which felt cheaper than expected. Perhaps that's been improved on the production line.

Honestly I love these 11-11 sale vids

Great video, thank you!

Jody is always trying to save the people some money where he can! Great top 10 List! I definitely am interesting in more then a few of these in the future.

I have the gmt in red and blue, I love it. No issues at all been almost 6 month

I went through quite a few Paganis and sold each one again within a year or two, except one. The PD-1651 (yachtmaster with grey sunburst dial and silver bezel). It's just so pretty!

Great list Jody, the pd1692 is a solid choice, have one currently and it's really good value. Also recommend the pd1711 planet ocean chronograph homage, one of the best finished watches I've seen for the price, really affordable in the sales too. I also like the daytona, I have the faux meteorite dial and it's brilliant value.

That all steel Tudor looking jobby is a noice looking little piece!

I know it isn’t your taste but I’m giving the Daytona meteorite a try. Love the videos as always 👍

Good morning. Another great video. Thanks

When are you going to do a review of the beautiful looking Tiffany blue pagani design pd1690? There is a version 2 now. Looking forward on your thoughts about the watch!

I have the Pagani AT. Its great value for the money. One reason I bought it because the seiko movement in it was hacking/handwinding. Cheers

Morning Jodie, I’ve bought three Paganis on your recommendations and couldn’t be happier. The first one bought last year had a misaligned cyclops and god bless them they exchanged it. It took a while, but it happened and was relatively painless. So that was the gmt batman and in a fit of enthusiasm I went ahead and purchased the straight submariner homage (note the use of lowercase so as not to upset the copywriters…). They’ve both been pressed into service in the marine industry and have proved very rugged whilst anchoring and generally knocking about doing on water manual mooring tasks. And….. they are both waterproof, jumping off the bulwarks and going to check the anchor (trust me not at 200 metres - more like 5) has given them a thorough workout. Finally I pulled the trigger on the no time to die seamaster, complete with mesh bracelet. Now that is a cracking watch. No helium escape valve, but why would I need that down the pub? To be honest it’s more fun showing it off to mates and spending time quietly musing over peoples monetary direction - as we looked over our boats with chuckle and a smile. So you don’t need to be able to dive to buy a divers watch and as you’ve shown there is great value money out there. Buy a great homage and save the money for the boating world. Has anyone told you what BOAT stands for? “Break Out Another Thousand….” I’d rather spend it on the boat 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'm now on my second Pagani. I first got the 1731 based on a review you did. I figured for the money it was a reasonable risk and of course it turned out to be way better than I expected. Based on how well that went I then got the 1717 which arrived just a couple of days ago and again, is way better than it should ever be.

Great video!!!

Great picks!

Yes! The silver PagaOak. I need to get it. Thanks Jody :)

Regarding the reliability of the DG5833: I have two, an Explorer 2 and a GMT Master. Neither has given me any problems. In fact the GMT Masters movement is keeping time like a thermometer. I was so impressed I made t he GMT my daily driver.

Another great one Jody, enjoyed that with my breakfast today! Pagani are really dominating the market in that price bracket at the moment. Enjoy James Bond, it’s pretty good 😀

I've purchased several Pagani watches, but I have found spending a few extra dollars to get a Steel Dive, results in a more satisfying experience as regards overall quality; especially when it comes to lume.

I have the Pagani 007 homage on mesh. Absolutely fantastic. Also got the GMT Master but its movement is not consistent

At first I was skeptical, but after checking the internet for many weeks and hours of browsing, I just can't find a flaw that can turn me off. I mean for the price? C'mon, one can't really ask for more. It's far from perfect, but it definitely is amazing for the price. I've had mine for 1 year and I wear it 24/7 and only takes it off when taking baths and oh boy is it amazing. I have the PD-1638, lacks features but I really just got it for its skeletal looks and design. It does not have a date, and it does not illuminate but the style is such a conversation starter. It has a leather strap which is so far even after a year is still flawless. The bezel is a mirror finish stainless steel. At $56 (USD), it ain't bad at all.

Hello out there, I hope you can help me. I love the Seiko SRPE51 but with the QC problems I've had, I wondered if you can recommend something similar? It's a great watch but no sapphire, typical Seiko bracelet, possibility of not lining up. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hey Dr. Jody. You've mentioned that you sometimes swap our springbars in your pagan watches so they feel better. What spring bars do you use? Thanks!

I bought a 1690 and love it. Interestingly mine came with an NH36 movement.

I got the PD1689 version instead of the PD1654, screw down crown and sapphire, very nice indeed.

i got a few days ago the gmt root beer ,but my gmt hand doesnt work as intented its way too slow ,someone know how to fix it

Wonder if you plan on doing a video on the blue Tiffany watch?

Hey Jody! When are you going to look at the Pagani Design moonwatch 2022? All the best Warwick from Sydney

Hey Jody just wondering which 62mas hommage has a huge top hat domed crystal? The new San Martin v4 got changed to just a standard double domed or else I would have gone that route

I knew it, after the San Martin video, i knew that Pagani D. will come! Cheers!

Fab, thank you

I got the No Time model on mesh. I like mesh as I have small wrist size. Expecting the new PD1712 Aqua Terra chronograph homage with VK63 movement in the mail tomorrow. At $59.99 it seemed like a good deal. Good review.

Thank you! What is the "blackwater" part on your tee shirt all about please? Thanks I wish pangami used pt5000 movements

I have a few Pagani watches and love your channel. My latest Pagani s the 1707 and I have to tell you is spot on accurate less than 1 sec a MONTH! I say less than because I have no way to see the error after setting it to my computer (world time clock) I can't see both at the same time so it's hard to see if it change any time at all over the month! I have a daytona "homage" Pagani (same movement) and it is around 4 sec a month fast. This one is NOT! Cheers (I know that aren't all the same. but I can't be happier with the accuracy of the 1707)

Jodi I need your advice! Should I cash in my $100 coupon at San Martin and get the most expensive watch I can afford and only get one. Or get a couple Pagani's. I have a few affordable watches and am itching for a dressy watch as I wear sport coats at work. Do you think the San Martins are 2x or 3x the quality of the Pagani's? It is the DateJ style that I am interested in, in particular.

Great work, wouldn't buy one but they're great value, as is your content.

my 1707 is still a 1 sec a month watch!! It has worn very well in 4 months

I’ve been eyeing a yacht master homage from cadisen. What do you think about looking at one and are they worth it?

get the snoopy. looks so pretty!

Just got my Royal Oak from Pagani. Very nice watch. Unfortunately the band doesn't have a half link adjustment. Love the watch..

Hoping you get one of those new san martin BB chronos in for review. They look pretty good for the price

Finally I can agree with JOMW. Don't buy a Seiko homage for near the price of a real Seiko!

Daniel Craig has grey hair in the new bond because he had "no time to dye" 😉

Pagani design PD 1639 or Seiko 5 sports? Which one would you choose

Jody, love the videos. FYI... the videos didn't populate in the boxes at the end of the video. I'm assuming that is a feature you program in. I just figured you want to know.

Can you also recommend somewhere to get superior spring pins? I bought some that looked and read well on the blurb, they turned out to be as strong as runny poo. Thanks.

Great list Jody.. I'm in market for a RM homage.. Can you suggest something for that? Can any other viewer suggest something of that kind

Will have to consider a Pagani watch based upon your reviews even though I'd like to actually have an Omega or Rolex, but they are beyond my financial means at the moment.

You may well be aware, but I thought I'd mention for anyone's sake that Pagani has responded to feedback on its Explorer homage (I bought the one with the 3/6/9 dial) and removed the near-universally unpopular "P.T. Time" text from the dial. I didn't hate it, but I sure like it better without. I'd watched a number of your Pagani videos, and I decided to take the plunge. Very pleased with both the watch and the Ali Express shipping speed. I love high-quality homages and the whole idea of attention to specs (and one's economic reality) over brand display.

I‘ve got the PD GMT Rootbeer an love the finishing amazing watch for the price but keep in mind if u buy one of those u will have an bayblade on your wrist. The selfwind-thing is spinning like crazy an you can hear it😅 but still i love mine and treat it like a real beaterwatch😄

I've had the green Tag replica for over a year now.. it works great.. sorry to hear the trouble other people have had with their watches. I've bought some other junk Chinese watches.. that were broken when I got them.. a Debert IWC homage and a Paulareis.. I guess you might get a good one.... and get some bad ones.. I have a 2 cheap Sewor watches that still work. They aren't very accurate but for $20 a piece.. I'm surprised they still work after 4 years!

Does Pagani make anything with a 22mm lug? I have so many 22mm straps, I don't want to drop down to a 20mm.

how long would the No Time To Die 007 automatic watch last between needing to be worn to keep it working?

I've been seeing 2 new (I think) Pagani Omega homages that I want but can't decide which. They did a Steve McQueen GMT and another Omega that has the 12, 3, 6, 9 dial. Any chance you'd do a video on either of those?

Jody, what watch are wearing in the intro? I need it!

I happen to be wearing the NTTD right now - I bought it on the mesh, very nice. Even better on my Colareb dark brown double-stitch leather. Quality watch at a bargain price. The 1692 looked very nice - a Tudor Black Bay 38 but actually a better dial I think!

Never got here so early! This man is bad for my wallet

Jody - with the listings of "V2" on the moon watch already have you had any feedback on any notion they might have already made changes? I found it odd that all the initial listings were at 40mm but by the time 11-11 came around they all were updated to 42mm (which is what most of us expected anyway). Disapointed about the prospect of silver hands and indicies on the Black version, but this was one of the designs with this movement I'd been hoping to see from PD so I woke up at 4:30am and placed the order considering the low QTYs all the stores seemed to have.

Good roundup, got the first one in patina, didn't seem to get any vouchers but got us$9 spend and save which basically cover the tax (shame they don't include that on the overall selling price). Tempted to get another one, is the paganoak too big for smaller wrists (6.5")? thought the fluted bezel one looks good yoo. Cheers

I love their GMT (I have the Pepsi, but I had to soften a few of the edges a little bacause they were sharp. My biggest issue with the watch though is the movement - it isn't great. I've owned the watch since it came out and at this point I need to either replace the movement ( looking for a good one) or possibly just replace the watch.

I don’t like Pagani. But I like Jody! :)

nice one got me eyes on a few bargain there .... cheers
