Is it a good choice for a 1st automatic watch ?

I'm considering get this heavy baby from Amazon, a bit over 100€.

Do you think it's a good choice for my 1st non quartz watch ?

It’s less than €100, so not much risk involved. Plus Amazon will take it back if it dies.

I’ve seen plenty of posts talking about them, some good, some bad.

It is a clomage watch from a clomage company. If you like that sort of thing, people tend to believe PD is good quality value.

I’ve had three pargani watches all have been great and I’ve had only one problem and that was loose screws on one of the bracelets all kept good time and didn’t feel like a cheap watch. Even if you don’t like it you can move it on and not lose much money

I would say if you want to look at other brands. Seiko 5 has a lot of options for around the 100 price point. Great options for a first automatic.

I have no dealings with them so can’t really say but if you like it go for it

Seiko… all day every day. Twice on Sunday. Bullet proof. Affordable vintage. A gazillion to choose from.

I don't trust Aliexpress not even for a Casio. I bought a Citizen there once, well it proves that you got what you pay for. It looks good at a distance, but I'm sure I could tear apart the back (ahem) plate with the nail from my left pinky finger.

I'll try to find out what movement this watch came with. Thanks for this info.

So far the automatic seikos I've saw are above 150€ but I'll try to dive deepr. And I've read several times that they are with QC problems, specially at hands and dial alignment. I'd think it to be normal for a low quality company but not for Seiko.

I've been floored by the quality of Pagani Design. Incredibly impressive for $100!

·

Sure, go for it. Your tastes are going to keep evolving, just get watchin'

The Chinese manufacturers have raised their game, the quality they now produce is comparative to brands like seiko, Casio etc easily

It's on the way, but I fear that I don't get the Tudor BB "homage" and get the normal submariner (that I don't want), the pics are all from the BB but the text is for the submariner.

I have the finger in the trigger to send it back.

The descriptions on Amazon and Aliexpress almost make the Ebay looks good. As I get older I have less and less patience with bad software.
