Pagani Design Men’s Automatic Mechanical Wrist Watches Japanese Movement Stainless Steel Bracelet Ceramic Bezel 100M Waterproof Watch

Pagani Design is hitting homeruns with all of their watches! I don't hate on homage watches and really enjoy this pd1639. The specs of this watch are worth well-over $200+! I have an 8in wrist and really enjoy the comfort and look of this watch. This design is paying homage to the Rolex and def gives off Bond 007 vibes! I think buying less expensive watches with good quality makes watch collecting a fun hobby. Regarding the micro adjustments, I found using some dental floss helps remove the spring bar easily. Hope this review helps! Will def buy again! Cheers

I have never been able to comfortably wear a metal bracelet on a watch before, so I was skeptical that I would like this one. It is very comfortable and easy to adjust the fit with the screw and unscrew links and included driver and kit. I love the way the watch looks. I am picky and I don't like the small bezels on most watches now. At 43 mm this watch looks great even on my smaller wrist size. The two down sides are that it will stop if you do not wear it for 30 plus hours and the metal bracelet seems to scratch easily, but at a sub $100 price point it's hard to hold that against it.

Comparison to Seiko Scuba Divers WatchMy watch: Pagani Design watch (PD194 w/Seiko NH 35A movement) has the black ring, black face.I've owned a lot of watches in the past 60 years, however, not any in the league of Rolex etc., which some people are comparing this sub $100.00 watch. Comparing the Pagani to a Rolex is a bit ridiculous but do own a Seiko divers watch to which I'm comparing the mechanical adjustment , the outer ring and the watch adjustment crown. These are not only common to both watches but also a good comparison for their mechanical ability of the adjustment ring & crown. If only appearance was considered then I'd say the Pagani is a virtual clone to the Rolex Sub Mariner. If the goal of owning this watch is to have a Rolex look, then I'd say mission accomplished.First impressions:Things didn't start off well as my Pagani watch arrived in a thin plastic Amazon bag. When I say thin it was just a very thin plastic bag with no padding at all! Not a very smart way to ship any watch. Inside the plastic bag was the decorator watch box containing the watch. Strange as most of my Amazon items are shipped over boxed and often with excessive packaging. Thankfully the watch was unscathed.Verdict for shipping: Poor for shipping a watch.The Watch Body :After removing the watch from the box and removing the protective film I was amazed at the quality of this watch and the band. The watch case body is made of 316L Stainless steel which is excellent marine grade stainless. Very impressive at this price point!The crystal is synthetic sapphire glass and with a little research I found that natural and synthetic sapphire are indistinguishable from each other, however, synthetics are virtually defect free of imperfections and perhaps the better choice.I inspected the watch very closely and once again amazed at the fit & finish! Even under magnification I saw virtually no machining or polishing marks. I worked in a machine shop and I can tell you this watch was machined & finished very well!. The clear back crystal which allows to view the movement is rather nice too.Verdict: Overall I would rate the watch body to be exceptional, especially considering its cost.Water ResistanceI wore this watch swimming in salt water for over an hour and after a couple days found no issues . My guess would be this watch will fare well in most normal water immersion situations. Personally I'll never go more than a few feet under water with or without a watch so in that regard it's fine for me. Would I take it scuba diving? Sure, perhaps to 50' feet or so. Todays watches are very water resistant. I have a $20.00 digital watch I've gone swimming with for over a year and never an issue. I wear it during yard work, home repair projects and often clean it with a garden hose. I rated the water proofing 4 stars because I cannot verify it's max depth water proofing. Verdict: So far so good.The Watch BandThe stainless watchband seems very well made and the screwed-in removable band links where a surprise as that feature does add to the manufacturing cost which for a sub $100 watch is quite amazing. A small jewelers screw driver is included to remove small screws fastening the links. Again I was was impressed with the machining, and finish. . Verdict for the watch band: Very good!Seiko NH35A MovementI set the time using the National Institute of Standards & Technology website . After 24 hours my watch was -6 seconds which at first caused me some disappointment (all my current watches are electric movements and very accurate), however, after researching automatic watches I found that this Seiko NH 35A has a rated accuracy of -20 / +40 seconds per day. My -46 seconds after the first day would be considered exceptional!The Seiko movement is very well rated and there's no lack of detailed reviews available online as there's dozens of quality brand watches which use them.The second hand, rotates very smoothly and a good indication of the quality of the movement which at 24 jewels is exceptional for any watch. The hour and minute hands rotate very nicely with with no play. The adjustment crown has a good tight fit in engaging and locking however I had problems at times finding the date position. The directional rotating bezel ring is not the quality as my Seiko divers watch as it has bit of slop in between clicks and could have a bit more resistance while rotating. The outer notches of the ring are a bit sharp but I can smooth them out with some polishing rouge & a cotton Dremel bit. Not a deal breaker at all for me. Verdict: Overall very good ..Overall conclusion: After a few days my initial impressions are very good. The watch construction is excellent, it looks fantastic and is very comfortable to wear. At under $100.00 it's a great deal! At this time I'm giving a 4 star rating rating because I've only had this watch a few days. I will update as necessary.

Cheaply made. But expected. Watch is good and bracelet is garbage. Replaced it with much more comfortable nato.

This watch keeps accurate time, instead of pins it uses screws to adjust the band links, screw down crown all features of a high end time piece.

Hard to find similar quality looking and price. Amazing watch.

Not bad, but the finishing is not the best. Does not exude high quality.

Great looking high quality watch. Let's see, super high quality watch with japanese seiko automatic movement. Add in the great price and you have a steal. Seiko would charge at least four times the cost of this watch to get the same and you would still not get a ceramic dial out a sapphire crystal.
