Thanks for a very thorough, well done review! I really like this watch save one thing, the 30m WR!! I really like the Sea-gull movement that hacks and hand winds, the looks, the size, decent finish quality, not bothered by the 90-click bezel as obviously no one is going to dive with it. But, having a versatile sports watch, even as a beater, it'd be nice to have at least 50m of WR, and without it, gives me pause. Keep up the great work!

I have limited experience in watches but I learned that it is not enough to have a reliable movement bur equally important is to have high quality everything else.

Bought one of these based on the video. What a fantastic watch. Superbly made, cant see how the Tag would be any better with regard to fit and finish. Of course with the Tag, you're paying for the name and the quality of the movement etc. In my case bezel rotates very nicely. Two links removed easily and I dont know its on my wrist even though it has good weight. The strap is the best I've come across for a copy/fake/homage watch, even better than my sons genuine Tag which has a lot of play in the links Stainless steel is stainless steel generally, and I would expect a Tag to be at least 316. I suspect this Pagani is 316 also. In Oz the Aquaracer retails for around $AUD2000, so my $AUD80 is a bit of a bargain.... We know it's not a Tag, but I'm very happy to wear it...

@PerthWAtch 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing that... glad you are enjoying it. I have had the Aquaracer in hand and I would say it's definitely superior fit, finish, bezel feel, bracelet and not mention superior materials, but you would of course expect all that with the price... to not have it would be a real shame on Tag I reckon. Not all steel is the same either... many lower end Chinese watches use a somewhat lower grade of steel than 316 it seems. Cheers, Ivan.

@Tourtiere34 6 жыл бұрын

It looks well executed from the video; very good looking. It does bring up the question of what qualifies as a homage and what is an actual copy. Is it a copy only when the original brand name is slapped on dial? Or are we just using homage as a nice word to say a copy? Or perhaps intellectual property infringement is simply where the line is.

@PerthWAtch 6 жыл бұрын

Good points raised there Daniel! I think IP infringement is a complex thing and what a court decides one day might be different from the next. For me, I would say something is only definitely a copy when it's trying to pass off for something that it's not... in that way I equate copy to knock off. Others would say that something is a copy when a certain proportion of design elements have been emulated - granted this one has a rather high proportion! People obviously do differ on what makes a copy vs homage.

@nicholasjoseph9062 6 жыл бұрын

Daniel Fortin I usually have 3 classes. Homages are inspired, copies are lookalike but with different brands and replicas uses the same brand as the one being replicated. Homages are okay, copies depending, and replicas are a no go. For me at least.

I think it’s because there is a fine line between homage (say like Undone chronographs) and near 100% copies, such as some Pagani designs. Say someone designs a watch from scratch, making it original. Another person makes a watch that is pretty much a to the millimetre copy, slaps on a different name, and calls it “homage”. The first guy rightfully would not be very happy - I think that’s the problem some people have against watches like this one.

I briefly held a 'Pagani's' take on AP's Royal Oak. Though certainly looked nice with the famous heft that Royal Oak is famed for, looks are deceiving which is almost too good to be true with incoherencies. Its a double edge whereby on one side, relatively cheap priced watch for decent amount of quality materials used with a tank built like movement yet with poor fitting and mediocre workmanship. Eg. Case Lugs are thicker than the supposedly integrated bracelet links and misaligned lack lustered dial with markers. In short, valuable materials in lesser product value.

@@True-os6tg I can't remember the make (Dun? It was some nonsense name) but after comparison on the watchuseek forums, it was indeed the same watch with a slightly modified dial. A lot of these cheap Chinese watches use the exact same materials (a lot of the mushroom brands share factories), particularly if they sit in the same price point, and sometimes the differences are merely a different combination of parts, or straight up the same parts with a different dial. Occasionally you'll see something pop up with something a bit more expensive inside it, but they are more the exception than the rule.

@@bartonez123 I would nt be too sure about that watch being the same Be nice if you had any details at all but never mind .All Tevise watches come with a 45 day return policy if you had bought one you 'd ve been fine , As long as you realize these watches are hand winders with just a little help from auto they are great value for the price of a pizza .I dont regret buying mine at all .Best mechanical watch for $20 easily tho you get what you pay for and if you spend another $50 you can get an homage with sapphire ,,miyota movement proper water resistance etc for sure ,

Not supposed to swim with 30m rated watch, but I suspect this one will do ok because of screw down case back and crown. Like I said in video, this was not my watch.

in 2020, this model is 100m WR, so you can swim with it, just make sure the crown is screwed down tied.

Hard to tell if it's good from pictures but if it feels good and is solid waterproof, then for $140 it's fair enough, assuming it's got a good Seiko chronograph movement in it, or equivalent.

Really you should not be too picky on a watch that costs less than US$75. For that price I look at 2 main things, the look and finishing of the watch itself, the look of this model is quite a decent one and the accuracy, you don't even mention it, another channel "Just One more Watch" makes the effort of measuring some of the watches that cost less than US$55. Good Quality Clasp/metal wrist band costs more money(*) don't pick on watches that cost less than US$150-$200. If you review Seiko 62 Mas Chinese homage that costs more than US$250 then you can pick. * some reasonable good quality ones already cost more than US$50.

@PerthWAtch 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching - this is a rather old video and I currently quote the accuracy on every mechanical I review. Some channels evolve and make changes over time, you might have noticed that? ;) As for your other suggestions, well, thanks but no thanks... I will pick on whatever I think is appropriate to pick on. If there is a watch in comparable price range that offers better in a particular facet, then it's absolutely fair game to point out these faults.
