Cheers buddy

I have an original Moonwatch & a Reduced Speedy, a few Pagani Speedys and now, a Watchdives White Speedy. I love them all.

I would love to know how the bracelet on the omega fits the watchdives, It fits the p d but protrudes from the end link a bit

Great review, thanks for sharing

This watch is brilliant. Thanks for the great review. I like the new intro. I always said if PD could offer better lume and bracelet/clasp, I’d be willing to pay more. Not only does this watch offer both, the introductory price matches the PD price. Thanks again!

There have been thousands of submariner homages (both clomages, if you desire that term, and homages) but there's been much fewer speed master homages until recently to me it seems

It would be extremely helpful if you made a video swapping out the bracelets on the p d and the watch dives. The uncle seiko bracelet fit the pd but protruded from end links a bit

A Rolex style caseback with a quartz movemen? Thats not very convenient come battery change time.

New to the channel. Great review 👏 I'm in love with the white dial version.

What PD1701 are you comparing this to? I am looking at my version 4 with a Matt black dial and dished sub dials , the clasp on the bracelet is virtually the same although it doesn’t taper. It too, has the VK63 movement and is the correct diameter at 42 unlike the Watchdive at 40mm. I’ll agree, the lume is not good, but for 80 bucks it’s half the price of the WD.

I think what bugs me most is the Pagani had the answer to the case design. It’s like they spent so much time on this dial they forgot about the rest of the watch even though the design was right in front of them.

I would like to see some red markings on the white dial. Currently it is too black and white. I think it would improve the style a whole lot.

excellent quality

I do have pd moons watch but ordered this one as soon as I saw. This is much better than pd, and worth the extra bucks, the key factors to this watch is the dial, crystal, how its integrated also AR coating, sub dials layout, and the bezel. This is long time waited homage. For me personally also the branding is way better than PD. And as it is for the case also like this one more than PD.

Oh man i like both dials i cant pick one over the other when I'm thinking about strap options.. i would definitely get either on a bracelet but after that...

Until Sam Martin or Baltany do a Speedy, this is as good as it gets. I got mine for $100.00, for the price point, it's excellent. Closer to the real Speedy than the PD one. True, the case is thicker, but I think it looks better, and it sinks right into the wrist. 😊👍

I choose white

Please compare this Watch with the Daytona Homage made by watchdives another stunning Watch (WD16500). Great review!!

I wish there will be a better Snoopy and CK2998 homages coming out.

If only they had the pd-1701 mid case.

How does the thickness compare to the Omega or Pagani as both seem to have thinner cases and not sure why Watchdives could not do the same

@TheWatchChannelAU

Ай бұрын

The case is thicker but overall thickness is smaller I am told...having owned all of them at one point or another, I don't feel there is a huge difference... certainly nothing that I noticed anyway.

The best Speedmaster Homage is Phylida with automatic movement ST1901 and Saphir crystal glass of course but nobody talk about it ! It costs above 200$CA. Pagani is ok too with vk63.

@bigriceburner

I have never heard of that watch before however thanks to your suggestion I am going to look into this one very deep. I really want that ST19, truly thanks for the suggestion.

Would love to see a date version. Also, the 24h subdial of the VK is utterly useless and pointless.

It looks great no doubt. But it's bit too expensive for vk63 movement. If it was automatic chronograph movement would be ok...like Phylida for example.

This is not the Speedy I've been waiting for, Pagani is still the best and I love mine. Can't beat the price value. I also hate the Rolex caseback on that WD. Why didn't they give it a standard caseback? It also looks way to blocky or chunky. The white version does look nice though.

How many jewels does this Seiko VK Meca Quartz movement have? Thanks in advance.

The reports of the chrono hand bending on reset are strange - wonder if they originate from PD?!

The VK quartz snap back when reset is brutal on cheap materials…. It can and does happen. See example in this review where this particular watch uses a much thinner chrono hand. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaNmwdmYis_Hcbw.htmlsi=0aFY7aH0Vby7RWJA

It just doesn't POP like the real thing.However the real thing is $13,000 Australian dollars so you have to take that into consideration I concede

Pushers look too big.Prefer the look of the PD moon watch.Also looks good on a tropic or sail cloth

Nice to see one of these that doesn't say Pagani Design on the dial

Once again, Pagani Designed by others. So what else is new?

Your opening music killed me - horrendous

The value for money of pagani is unbeatable, the movement is the same, the price is half with discounts...

PD 1701 still the best relation cost/benefit. Half price then watchdives

@achraftahir

Until you see the difference in bracelet quality dial quality the correct sub dials and the correct tachymeter. Seeing this Pagani should sell for 50$. Otherwise this watchdives is mopping the floor with the 1701

If this was 42mm case then I would be ALL OVER IT. 40mm is not right for a speedy homage, the real thing is 42mm and it's one of the things PD got right. Other than that this watch is absolutely on-point, so that's a massive shame.

​@@ShogunTen42mm is accurate to the Omega Speedmaster. And you can't just straight up say 42mm is too big, it depends on wrist size. I have some 44mm Casio's (including a Duro) and they fit me great. I can just about get away with 41mm Submariner size, but for me 40mm would look too small.

@@philiptutton8041 bro most people can't wear 42mm comfortably. Big wrist are not the norm.

13.8mm thick is just ridiculous. Anything over 11.5 and you look like you're wearing a $5 watch from an Asian market.
