PAGANI design

Just bought my first one and couldn't be happier with it. Specs are great, quality seems fine, the finish is good and it does what it says it does!

You can buy parts and build same watch for less money and get better quality

That’s an accident waiting to happen I have no experience in building or modding watches besides strap or bricelet replacement

I love my Pagani "Speedy" homage, the PD1701v3 that utilizes a Seiko Meca-Quartz movement 👍

Just got a Pagani and I’m very happy with it. #notquitespeedytuesday

I own many (5+) Pagani Design watches. I really like them. People say there can be some QC issues here and there but I've only had 1 mishap involving a steel band. Don't buy off Amazon or eBay. You'll over pay. Ali Express is the way to go.

I have a few & they've all been excellent bang for buck watches.

Really great quality for the modest price.

Not a big fan. Don’t like homage watches. I would go with another micro brand.

I'll give you an example. I have a Pagani NH34 Root Beer. It is one of the better ones.....but like I said the bezel is loose and clicking is abnormal and it doesn't line up at 12'clock. The date window is totally distorted and crooked. The bracelet leave much to be desired.

It might be cheaper now but I think I paid $139.

I bought parts...mostly from Misuki Store. I bought everything separately. I installed the bezel insert, I bought a good quality cyclops and glued it on straight. The bezel action is the best I have ever seen. I bought a set of hands. Bracelet has glide lock. It also has an NH34 movement. I bought all the parts during the last sale and I think everything was around $90. It is far superior to the Pagani.

There are plenty of videos on Youtube showing how to do this. It really isn't hard at all but you do need to take your time.

I build all my watches now.

This was my first build and like I said you can't rush it. The hands are the biggest challenge but once you get past that it is about 30 minutes of work.

When I think about the price compared to value you really can't go wrong. I have a few and each time bought one was always on sale. The ones pictured none of them were over $100. All have been great so far never failed me . I would recommend.

Next on my list !

...and if you want to make some money...a watch just like I built sells for $300-400 on Ebay all day long. Turn $90 into $300 is a pretty good investment.

I actually own several. But I have found watch building an enjoyable hobby.

Last year I built a Fender Stratocaster from scratch using real fender parts. Surprisingly there very little to do on the wiring. Built a $1000 guitar for about $500

I haven’t ever seen one in person but my build is probably equvalent to Chronos or Sugess

They are great, if you can get over the (mostly, we'll nearly all) lack of originality. Good value for the specs you get, bracelets n lume are mediocre though and I wouldn't trust the water resistance. But besides that for the bargain price they are, try one and enjoy.

Box fresh,delivered this morning and a bit original as well.

I don’t know if this is an original design or a clo-mage. But it’s $50, looks, works and feels great, and as a skeleton watch isn’t going to be thought of as a fake status symbol.

Don't have one, own a few homage/clomage/whatever term the "hawt-horologista's" have coined for them.

Not bad for the money, especially on sale.

Argument for building your own is valid, just figure in:

Equipment

Time to Build (believe it or not, time is money too)

Part list PLUS shipping

Some of these costs are one and done, the time portion might get incrementally smaller.

As much as I would love to get into it, my family comes first, then job stuff, then hobbies. Of these hobbies, watches is just one portion. And ppl here like to complain about overpricing, taxes, and corporate and/or govt greed. If you've ever double stamped a bang stick you'll quickly realize fun stuff costs $$$$.

If you get one for 100 bucks or less, they're solid. Usually crap lume, but solid construction and specs for the price. I really like mine.

I have an Explorer II homage from Pagani and loved it right up until the GMT hand decided to pop the 5 o’clock marker off the dial. While I was setting the time one day it just got stuck on the pip and eventually popped it off. I was able to get it out from the dial so it isn’t bouncing around in the case, but I can’t fix it because I haven’t been able to get the crown out to remove the movement fully from the case.

So, YMMV…some have had nothing but great experiences, but I feel like you get what you pay for (which is fine…just keep it in mind)

I can tell you one truth. Don’t do this thru a diy watch club. I believe I only bought about $30 of tools off Aliexpress. Your three main tools will be toothpick, rodoco and hand tools.
