Pagani Design PD-1682 V2 Explorer 2 Homage
This arrived in the post yesterday. As it says in the title it is an homage to the Rolex Explorer 2. It cost me less than €100. It has a Pearl DG5833a "GMT"movement. It is not a GMT. The bezel is fixed. As you can see, it came with a stainless steel bracelet. I sized it for my wrist by removing 4 links and using all available micro adjustments. It was still too loose for my liking, so i swapped it out for a quick release silicone band.
In my opinion this looks and feels much better on the wrist than before.
I have only had this watch for less than 24hrs, so this is not really a review. That may come in a few weeks time. All I can say for now is that i am now happy with the aesthetics of the watch.
My interest in watches began when i started watching restoration videos on youtube. I then began watching reviers like Ben, from Bens Watch Club. The first watch that I bought myself was a vintage Lor...
Great looking homage

Thank you
There are nh34 variants out there for about the same money and Ronda 505 24 variants around 100 bucks or less. Native Chinese movements are a minefield as far as quality goes. Pagani calls the rebranded Rolex fake a Homage. Park that next to an actual Explorer 2 for comparison. Hope it last for you anyway.

I'm aware. I actually have one coming as we speak. The main reason I occasionally buy these cheaper homages with Chinese movements is so that I can build my confidence and skills in taking watches apart and putting them back together again without having to break the bank.
Looks good
Like the pagani design brand 👍

Many thanks. It is sadly all over the place on the timegrapher, but i am going to see if I can regulate it a bit.
How is this not a gmt? Does the other hour hand not work?
