I can't believe that I haven't actually done this before! Not a head-to-head review as such, more a mini reveiw of the new Pagani, and a closer look at some of the ways in which it gets close to the Roller, and some of the areas where it falls short. It gets closer than I woudl have thought, that's for sure! Cheers, Jody

Go with a pigani they will last generations if serviced every 10 years! These are amazing watches for the money! One watch maker said.... pagani should last just as long as a rolex if cared for!! That's insane!! No watch should cost 50k to wear... its called stupidity... there are way better investments then 50k rolex! Only for the dumb rich people with know sense!! Pigani all day!!

    At 6:29, you'll notice that the GMT hand jumps forward when Jody pushes in the crown. This can be infuriating but you need to roll the crown back ever so slightly when the GMT hand reaches the right place (obviously not so much that you change the date). By doing this you release the tension in the movement and you don't get the GMT hand jumping forward vwhen you press the crown in.

    I had a Parnis GMT that had that same issue with the minute hand as well as the GMT hand jumping. Though it is true that backing off the crown a little to release the tension prevented the hands from jumping, I noticed that when I did that those hand would not start moving right away, it would take a half minute for the minute hand to start moving and it would take several minutes for the GMT hand to start moving, making it an infuriating process to set both hands precisely. That drove me crazy and I quickly got rid of the watch. Seeing that hand jump in Jody's video totally ruined it for me.

    I thought it jumped to the proper time, because Jody put the watch at 1:50 then adjusted the GMT to 18:00, but the watch auto adjusted the hand to 18:50 to be at the correct time.

First time with Pagani and Ali Express.So far very impressed with this and the Daytona certainly the Daytona is pretty close to my Stienhart Vintage Gmt, still waiting for the other two. I believe they have improved the finishing on the Black bay which I think you highlighted . Well that's what I have been told is the reason for the delay but they are in the uk now so hopefully have the last two by Friday.

    Got it couple of weeks ago, I'd love to get one with the screw down crown. My observations so far. Finishing of the case and bezel is great. Lume is mediocre. The bracelet is great, almost on the level of Zelos. However, the clasp is a big disappointment. After two days of using is started getting loose and closing it requires slight realignment or using force. I guess I will buy a different clasp. The movement seem to be late, which aligns with the timegrapher tests, you've made. However, what I found super annoying is when you push down the crown after setting the time/gmt hand, the hands move. It happened to yours in the video at 6:27. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, it will scratch the itch until I get the real Explorer :)

    I got the Pagani 1682 just 3 days ago, and I found they have now made the hands as big as the Rolex has them. The straight piece of the hour hand is now almost square as on the Rolex, and the minute hand is as wide as the circular hour index markers. The Mercedes star is also as wide as the Rolex. The seconds hand is also stronger now. And the GMT hand has the syringe tip too now. Looks pretty damned good now, I have to admit. If there only wasn't that scratching when you wind the movement. As if there is no lubrication applied inside the barrel. The deviation so far is zero to +3 seconds a day when the watch is worn, +7 to +10 when put on the shelf, no matter which way. The timegrapher shows any value between -30 and +30 within five minutes of observation in all possible positions. But when worn, only +few seconds at most - hey, that's what matters, and you can't complain about that, do you?!

    Agree the case finishing on the pagani is exceptional for the price . Major downside I found found the inner clasp has sharp edges and is uncomfortable on wrist . The movement is around 35 secs a day out a little more than I would normally tolerate . If it were not for these two flaws it would get some wrist time . Comfort is a must and sharp edges are uncomfortable and annoying so probably retired to a box and never worn .again ..

On the movement I ca t see why it should fail prematurely. I have an Aeromatic GMT flieger watch which is still going strong with its cheap as chips Chinese movement of unknown origins. 7 years on its still faultless keeping good time 😎

    I have a Parnis GMT that’s about 3 years old. It works pretty well, but the first adjustment setting is getting a bit hard to “find” and engage to set the date. I will eventually open it and have a look at what the problem might be. Other than that, it works well with about the same numbers you’re getting off you Pagani.

As you said, 'Why, Oh WHY Pagani?' The only people that is going to impress are non watch fans that happen to see one in a shop. NO watch guys are going to be won over because of that extension. Literally none. I do quite like the bracelet though, and the clasp, other than the extension. Overall though, amazing watch for the $$$. In my opinion, only bested by the Explorer 1 homage by Pagani which is probably a touch more versatile while this is more sporty. Pick your poison or get both. Yeah... get both.

    I've had the Parnis GMT master for a good year, and the movement has just been exceptional. Never missed a beat and extremely low variation in accuracy month to month. Pretty gritty on the hand wind but it's a non issue. The only movement I've had in my budget collection that impresses me more is the one that came in the Parnis Explorer. DG three hander. Every bit of the action and performance is ETA good at least. China has been putting in the work for good affordable enthusiast watches, and I'm fairly sure they'll own the next few decades when enthusiasts my age start to come into financial security.

    My other Paganis are really good, but they have seiko inserts. I wish this had a quartz seiko movement or an ETA movement - would definitely pay the extra for it!

    Thank you for bringing this budget un heard of brand to my attention. Yes some may turn their noses up at the fact its a 1:1 Homage and not the real thing. But with Sapphire glass, ceramic bezel , seiko movement and their cheap as chips pricing, its a no brainer to add a few to your collection.

    Does this movement have any detents in the positioning of the 24 hr hand? I have a cheapie Parnis GMT which looks nice but getting the GMT hand in the proper spot is a bit difficult. I have one of the Pagani Daytona knockoffs which has quite a good rendering of the easy link adjuster; it's a pity they didn't include it on this watch.

    I think the hands are a copy of the earlier Explorer 2 (I think 16570) and I think the narrower hands look better. They look too chunky on the later Rolex. My braclet isn't as tight as yours around the endlinks, I have a little bit of rattle. I've removed the cheap clasp extension and it feels better without it. Overall the Pagani is an impressive watch for the money, I'm pretty happy with my one.

    I had a late 1980's Explorer 2....it work great until the warranty ran out. After that...it spent more time being repaired than it did on my wrist! Finally, I gave up a put it back in its box and into drawer until it was stolen after Hurricane Katrina in 2005! Luckily...I had a rider on my homeowners insurance that covered theft. I got more $$$$ from them than what I had spent for the watch to begin with.
