Chainen 38 Posted February 13 Hello Forum, I am still deciding on my next rep, however after paging through 100s of watches, I came across this Pagani Design. Ok, I know, even only having been around a short time that Pagani isn't a sexy brand or topic, but after some research I decided that this will satisfy my need to buy and only cost me around $100. As I am looking at Rep Omega Seamaster's I landed on this one. I have to say, that I am pleasantly surprised by this watch. I am posting some pics for your viewing pleasure. I have not mastered the art of this yet so please take them for what they are, some newb taking pictures of his new addition. Here is what I like so far: 1. The NH 35 movement is pretty nice for the price 2. The watch, IMO, looks pretty good. 3. The Lum, to me, looks great 4. Although I dont love the band, I really like the butterfly clasp that comes with. Dont likes: 1. No quick date set....arrg 2. The rubber bracelet that comes with is very stiff, to the point of discomfort. I will be replacing this band.

tribefan 6,708 Posted February 13 Thanks for the review. If you copy the BBCode links in click pix, the images will display without having to click on the jpg links. I've edited them into your post for you. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 12,425 Posted February 13 The NH35 has a quick set date. You may be turning it in the wrong direction. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 189 Posted February 13 Looks nice. I think these homages are about as much watch per $ as you are likely to get. I recently got the Pagani homage to the Tissot prx. Often the weakest part of the package is the band/bracelet. Which on an integrated bracelet watch would be a problem. But it’s actually surprisingly good. The seiko movement is well regulated too - unlike a few Seikos I have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chainen 38 Posted February 13 Thanks NC. You were correct, winding the quick date set in the wrong direction. Liking this even more now thanks! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
996 18 Posted March 22 ...nice looking piece but looks like a complete rip off of an Omega...is there a connection between the two companies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

996 18 Posted March 22 Ahh!...reveals my knowledge; and tbh I rather wish reps would be built with a movement such as one from Seiko rather than the often chocolate copies: best of both worlds then...a VSF Sub with a decent reliable movement would be perfect! No more winding or time setting like you are diffusing a bomb !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chainen 38 Posted March 23 Actually the VSF sub comes with a very good clone movement VS3235. My first Rep purchase was the 126610LN from VSF with this movement and it has been extremely reliable. There is no comparing the high beat movement to that of the Seiko movement. That second hand sweeping at 28800 is a thing of beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watch_Fox 2 Posted March 23 The Pagani doesn't have a helium escape valve, which is an improvement to me. I have a similar Pagani with a blue dial and metal bracelet. The dial is stunning and the NH35 movement works great, but the bracelet sucks. Some of the links bind and the edges are a bit sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've found on the pair of Pagani watches I have, that the edges are sharp. The binding links however is easy to sort. Just take the bracelet off and let it soak in baby oil for awhile.

Chainen 38 Posted March 23 The rubber that is in the picture was very stiff and uncomfortable. I have replaced it with a blue leather that works much better. I guess when you only pay $100 for the watch expectations should be adjusted a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
996 18 Posted March 23 To be honest the strap on my VSF 41MMS SUB is quite sharp in places and the crown and bezel is equally sharp/rough ? My GMF Air king on the other hand has no sharp edges?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chainen 38 Posted March 23 Nice collection 996! Im sure you could fit a $100-$120 Pagani in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
