AR coating would make a huge difference

They corrected the hand issue with the 2024 V2 version of this watch. I’m about to order this watch and going to try and get a AR coated replacement crystal. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the video. Lots of hard work in creating these. PD give bang for the buck. Yes, they have a few watches that miss the mark, over all, for $100 to $150 you get a lot of watch. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!!

I love a 3 on my dials. Just ordered one for €68. The new version has longer hands, which I appreciate, on the old version they seemed to point 'in the general direction' of the numbers and the lines on the minute track. In short, the newer version is better even. If I find more differences after actually receiving the watch I'll come back here to mention them.

Great comparison!👍So ar coating is the next big thing which Chinese need to improve.Dont know if only here its such striking result,it almost look like PG is fogged🫣I wonder if similar thoughts would be in other hommages pairs,Seestern-Doxa for example.

I'm ocd about crystal changes on my Chinese homages. This Pagani suffers from a flat-bottom crystal, which creates an effect like a bicycle reflector. This video shows how it should really look (on the Longines).

In other video they review pd 1717 really clear dial just like the longines in this video. But it is very foogy in this video. is the glass on longines is flat or doom ??

i have the spirit mechanical chrono 42mm. the dial color is stunning, as is the clarity of the crystal, the build quality is exceptional for the fairly moderate price, its a lot of watch for 3k usd msrp but its big the lug to lug is huge and just ok for me, but they made the other sizes. The bracelet is terrible though, much too thin to support the heft and size of the watch head, a real head scratcher. funny to see these pagani, too bad the crystal so hyper reflective, but nifty to see green color.

I just ordered it for 60 dollars on aliexpress. Does it hold up as an alternative now,, one year later?

Yes, it's holding up really well. I am impressed.

Got this watch, beautifullly done for that price but the lack of AR kills it. Would pay 50€ more for ar layer. Can’t understand 😢

You could always upgrade the crystal, either yourself, or at a jewellers.

Homage version actully looks better I think, and 38mm is also the perfect size for it.

Si por 150usd te pareció bueno, por 40 dólares que me costó y lo acabo de ordenar debe ser una excelente compra, que te parece???? Saludos!

I tried on the Longines in a shop. The lug to lug distance was just too long for me. A beautiful watch that was just too long. I see the Pagani has a more sensible proportion.

@@martynm.449 It's all good. I was really just asking for your benefit, like, if it was too long (as you say) maybe it was the 40 and not the 37.

A date window on Pagani would have been good but it is a reasonable attempt at mimicking the look of the Longines. The Longines looks far sexier in close up,though!
