I appreciate a blunt honest opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about! The detail and accuracy of your reviews are second to none🤘

A thing I believe to have noticed about Pagani that they don't seem to extend the improvements on some models to others that are in production. The backplay issue should have been resolved at the same time as that on the subby homage.

Must be so frustrating & annoying for you, when the pieces you receive for review have issues that Pagani are well capable of avoiding & do manufacture other models that don’t exhibit the same flaws. Fair play to you for telling it how you find it & not glossing over flaws or excusing them due to price.

Well I've bought one, paid £57 on AliExpress, looking forward to its arrival, my first Pagani Design watch 😊

Very thorough examination! Keep it up!

It's typical of Pagani there,s always small QC issues this one had several I have it in my basket just took it out great honest review i really am going to stop buying Pagani its just to hit and miss its a shame

I've recently brought a PD-1662 NH34 Green/Black and I think its excellent for the money. As a long time wearer and collector of Swiss 'luxury' mechanical watches, I was very sceptical about Chinese homage watches, but I wanted a cheap mechanical watch which I wouldn't be upset if it got knocked about at work. Well I was so impressed I ordered a couple more. Riddler with NH34 runs at +2 spd, and Batman with DG5833 runs at +3/4 spd, expecting a Coke in the next couple of days. All on jubilee bracelets, and my only complaints are the clasp micro adjust is awkward, and the bezel could have more resistance, other than that none of the issues you experienced with your review piece.

Another honest review. Thanks.

One big problem with the left hand, is that the date changes at 6pm and takes along time to change this is because it’s the normal gmt movement turned upside down. Only way to partly solve it, is by setting it at am. So the date will be change most likely when you are not awake.

Thank you for the video beautiful watch PD...🤩

I had so many expectations regarding this piece.... I was expecting Pagani was moving towards San Martin quality when I saw first pictures of this watch but unfortunately is not... thanks for the review!

This week $57. $105 for NH movement. Fingers crossed. Though I regulate at will, smooth any sharp edges, brush if the impulse strikes, change bands at will. Oil rotor if needed. Fall in love again.

Superb review!

I just took delivery of mine. A lot of the issues raised in this video seem to have been addressed. The cyclops is aligned correctly on mine, the two colours on the bezel are now split right down the middle and the bezel has no where near as much play in it anymore as is shown in this video. The winding stem still has some resistance in it but no more than an Orient Kamasu. The lume is also more even in colour now.

I finally understand why this called the riddler… When you look at it, all you left with, are questions… Why all these QC issues? Overall, I can’t stop thinking this homage was rushed. Better to release a worse product now than no product whatsoever. Too bad that you can’t add this one to your collection, would’ve been a nice oddity! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for your honest review. It is why I sub. I have the “Sapphire Sandwich” Chinese Pilots Watch_1963 I got from LIW about 18 months ago. I just bought a new mesh bracelet from Marc and it really makes a difference. But…it is very delicate and I am uber careful with it. I may try another Chinese watch soon. A Sugges or a Phoebus, maybe the star on the block, San Martin. I did just buy a superb Islander from LIW. An ISL_73. 38 mm by 13 mm. On solid end link Jubilee bracelet (Milled clasp, Sapphire, solid 316L stainless everything and a very cool (& perfectly aligned) dive bezel to go with 200 m………& it was $329.00 USD with a Seiko NH-36 Day/Date. A real watch. I wouldn’t waste my money on this POS on a bet. Thanks again for a thorough, honest (brutally, lol 😂) review. We were all served well.

Excellent review.

Lasted two years and then I binned it Does anyone really wear a left handed watch anymore, why would you want the crown on the other side even if you did, I always take my watch off for adjustment with a screw crown Great review and come on Pagani you can do it

Would love to see the review of the this beauty after an year of owning it..

Try as I might, I could not see what you were talking about re the bezel insert (green to black). Looked absolutely fine to me and I paused your video to study it. Same story with the 'wonky' magnification bubble. Not sure one can expect perfection for the price.

Thank you for watching Kevin. My camcorder is below the centre of the dial, therefore the camera angle means you can't see the cyclops magnifier is rotated slightly clockwise, rather than being level over the date window. The green half of the bezel is too low, the line is low on the 6, below the 3 o'clock index, and 15 minute tick on the chapter ring. "Not sure one can expect perfection for the price." I do not expect perfection for 120 Euro. I expect a correctly aligned cyclops magnifier, and correct ceramic bezel insert. Pagani Design are capable of getting these correct, as per their PD-1662 Batman, Pepsi, and Root Beer versions. Regards, #WR4K

Wow John, you are having really a bad run with PD at the moment. The PD-1692 Air King you reviewed was a recent high watermark. Since then, the PD reviews (even those models that appear to be pitched as as "higher quality") have been poor quality / value pieces. I have a PD-1662 Pepsi on a Jubilee style bracelet. It has been great and the ("Pearl") movement has been reliable and accurate enough to date. If I could have time back I would wait for the NH34A though. I have had this watch for over 6 months and it has stood up so far. It has none of the QC issues highlighted in this Riddler Review. I guess I have been lucky. I found the background info on the "Pearl" movement very interesting. Thank you.

Then while in the date setting position rotate the crown anticlockwise to move the GMT hour hand only. It will move independently of the hour and minute hands. Then push the crown back in fully to restart the movement, and screw it back down fully. Regards, #WR4K

It seems people have different methods for using a GMT like this. Here's how I do it: I am in EST (eastern standard) and I want to set the GMT hand to UTC/GMT. So I set the normal hour hand normally, to my local time zone. I then set the GMT hand to whatever the time is in 24-hour time UTC. So If the local time is say, 5pm, I would set the normal hour hand to the five position (of course.) I am currently -4 from GMT, so that would be 9pm UTC or, 21:00. So I set the GMT hand to where 21 is on the GMT bezel (so like, 10:30 on the 12 hour face.)

@@watchreviews4k Thanks. I presume that means that one has to set the time on the hour? I think I found another way. If the time is say 16:20 UTC and I want the GMT hand to show 17:20 (for CEST) - move the GMT hand to the fifth increment past 5 on the watch face (this represents the elapsing of 20 minutes into the hour). That way when the watch shows 17:00 UTC it will how 18:00 CEST. I tried watching tutorial videos on this, but they did not show me what I wanted to know, and they made it really complicated by talking about tracking three time zones. I just looked at my watch and I have to say my method does not seem to have worked! 😅😂. So, ignore the above. I will keep trying.

Yes, its a given that import taxes are charged. I pay import tax on all watches I receive from China, this varies depending on the value.

You're simply making an assumption that the majority of collectors use China post. They don't.

Thank you for watching. No offence taken. I was under a 12 month contract with CHRONEXT to review 45 watches. I completed the 45 in 10 months, then decided not to renew the contract. Reviewing; Rolex, Tudor, Omega, etc, didn't have the positive effective on my channel I expected. So I can no longer get hold of these pieces for review. AliExpress low-tier watches gain more views than mid-tier, and high-tier Swiss and German watches as the majority of collectors can afford them. Therefore I earn more AdSense revenue from reviewing AliExpress watches. Lastly I am paid by brands and resellers, and gifted watches which I sell on eBay. The CHRONEXT watches were on loan, therefore they didn't provide the same revenue streams. I would like to review Swatch Group brands, but their brands have either ignored my emails, or said no to my requests for review pieces. The other reason is brands have cut me off after I gave their watches a negative review. Regards, #WR4K
