I've bought a Pagani Design PRX!
After putting the PD-1761 in my AliExpress basket and deleting it about a dozen times since the Anniversary Sale started because I didn't know if I could live with the ghost date (which makes no sense since the original has a date), I gave in because the price (which includes the ripoff tax at the end) was too good.
I've already got the Pagani Design "Daytona" with the same VK63 quartz movement. It feels great on my wrist but is mostly illegible due to silver hands on a white dial, so this time I went for a blue one because that's what I should have done to start with. They are the same price too now, weirdly enough.
I have no idea how this will wear since it's the larger PRX in dimensions and I didn't really get on with the real one when I tried it in Fraser Hart's, but I have a rubber strap from AliExpress now (which is on my Skmei PRX at the moment) just in case.
For £34.01 compared to what this used to cost, and the frightening price that the Tissot PRX automatic chronograph still costs, I think this is worth the money.
Shoutout to @JasonTheWatchGuy who reviewed these well over a year ago when they first came out. I wasn't influenced (or if I was, it was very slowly, LOL), but I certainly checked out his videos again before making my purchase.
There are too many niggly things still wrong with the real Tissot PRXes for me to ever buy one nowadays, but these cheaper copies somewhat lessen the things which annoy me.
Have you bought anything from this month's AliExpress Anniversary Sale yet?
I'm pretty much done with collecting now, but I've certainly got a good variety of affordable watches. As an occasional YouTuber, I'm a comedian not an influencer. Skmei is the new Casio!
Looks good 👍 Would look even better on a strap 🤔

I have the cheapest AliExpress silicon rubber strap at the moment, but I'll probably upgrade to a faux-leather one or the better FKM one if I like the watch enough.
I bought a Pagani Design for like $44 all in. Couldn't resist as I don't own this color combo.
A good looking watch. I know ghost positions grate (but much less so on a quartz) but it does look so much better without the date window spoiling the symmetry.
Enjoy
If any problems with the date @casiodean just text me and I will let you know.

Yes! I picked up the Addiesdive reverse panda chronograph with the roman numerals and the black band. I am also really tempted by the Pagani clone of the Longine Spirit in blue. With the code it's only $40 but I've already bought three watches this month... My wife will freak if she notices them.
Yeah, I splashed out too: I have picked up a mechanical chrono from Sugess, a star wheel from Pindu, and a Patek Philippe homage from Wwoor (illusions of grandeur).
