I have that exact green Pagani. It's really a great watch. The movement, the sapphire and the cyclops (yes, that little thing!) made it stand apart for me. It's sooo rare to get a budget-level sub homage that has a cyclops that actually magnifies! It's practical to implement and it shows attention to detail. I never ever thought I'd get any satisfaction out of a 1) chinese budget mechanical, 2) chinese budget sub homage or 3) watch with "Pagani Design" on the dial, but here we are, and I now have 2 of them!

Perhaps the most valuable comparison yet Ivan - well done! The only aspect I feel differently to you on is brand. Whilst Loreo does have a couple of other pretty descent Subbie inspired offerings, Pagani Design have a broader and more interesting back catalogue which includes the Mocktailtime as Jodie put it and a rather fine TAGish Aquaracer offering to not name two. But frankly, all of this is is hair splitting because both are outstanding in terms of VFM and I'm sure that most will find ownership of either very very pleasing. Size is perhaps a real decider for many. My Pagani measures well over 43mm from beside the crown guards to tother side and that's BIG, even on my 7.5" wrist. I just wish I'd bought the Black Loreo like you Ivan - my blue one is compromised by the colour mismatch between bezel and dial and that cheapens it.

Hey bud, been watching your channel for around a month and really enjoy the honest reviews. I've just recently began collecting watches and due to my budget, or if I actually want to wear a watch in the next ten years, which is how long it would take to save for a Rolex, and I have to say have been generally impressed with the value for money these days. I think once people get over their paranoia regarding the quality of all things with the dreaded moniker "Made in China" and actually try them they'll be as pleased as I've been with my Loreo and Parnis purchases. You just can't beat the cost/value ratio. All the best from Toronto and thanks for all the time and effort you've put into your channel. Cheers!

Ivan, I enjoy you honest approach to watch reviews. Not everyone can afford thousands of dollars for a timepiece and you provide such a well balanced and respected review regardless of the price. I have been collecting for over 30 years and the thought of buying an Chinese quality watch used to be out of the question but that has significantly changed in the last 10 years. The Pagani is a perfect example, the quality and workmanship exceeds watches 5 years ago that I paid $1000 US for, it's amazing and fun to see. I also greatly like the Parnis brand and I think they are in the same caliber as the Pagani and Loreo. The is a brand called Bliger and they look identical to the Parnis, do you know anything about them, is it a re-branding, are they the same company. Just curious if you or you're subscriber's know anything about them. Thanks very much for all your work, Gene A. Wisconsin, USA

Thank you for your kind words, it is very much appreciated! I have not experienced Bliger myself, but from the looks of things, you may well be right in that it is possibly a simple re-branding of an existing line of products. Cheers! :)

I got a PD 39 with green dial and black bezel. You're spot on about it's bezel. It is terribly loose. The difference in mine is I selected the Miyota 8215 instead of the NH35.i wanted to save $10. My watch, however, is only 4 seconds slow after 5 days. I guess that's due more to luck than a better movement. I've watched your videos and that's what made me decide on the Pagani for a knock around watch. I didn't like the bracelet at all because I couldn't open the clasp. I suppose my jeweller could have adjusted it for me and probably at no charge. I had him take it off and bought a green and black striped NATO strap, It really looks good now and I got a bracelet in reserve. Thanks for the videos. They're really great information. I thank you

I must confess I think the Loreo is the better watch. At the end of the day they’re supposed to be diver watches, and so the 200m water resistance of the Loreo wins it for me. Also, here in the UK you can get the Loreo for about £45, whereas the Pagani is about £70. Good review though 😊

I own a Loreo (day date version) and it offers a lot of bang for buck. It's the perfect size for my 7 inch and a bit wrist. I like the Pagani too apart from that it's too big for me. Don't like big watches anyway. I wear my Loreo often and I really like it a lot. The stainless strap that comes with the Loreo is indeed not great, so I switched it for a Nato strap. It runs +2 sec a week (yes a week, not a day) out of the box, hilariously accurate for a watch like this.

I also have had a Pagani 1662 GMT batman 40mm for a while that gets mistaken for a Rollie GMT quite often. I just smile and say "Thanks!"

Owning both of these, I don't think you can go wrong either way. If I had had hands-on experience with both before buying and had to choose one, it would be the Loreo. This is simply because I prefer the slightly smaller size. Mine looks to be an older version with hollow end links, so my Pagani definitely has the nicer bracelet, but based on the size, I think I prefer the Loreo. I also got the Loreo in green and the Pagani in black, and totally prefer the green :)

All I know is I've had my Invicta Grand Diver for 10 years +/- and it's been beat to hell, in the ocean and river 100's of times and it still works fine. The crown action is really good (better than my Orient Ray II and my Longines Hydroconquest) now in all fairness to my Longines I believe she could use a servicing. 99% of the Invictas are pretty much junk in my opinion but the Pro Diver and Grand Divers are pretty damned good. I'd say better than most of the $500.00 and below divers. And at this price point you shouldn't really give a shit about ceramic bezels and sapphire crystals because those extras don't mean shit if the watch doesn't work. At the end of the day the best watch is the one you have on your wrist. Now if I can just sell a few more pints of my blood and my right nut I can get the Super Ocean Heritage. Y'all have a great day and buy all of the watches you can.

Great video, Ivan! I purchased my Pagani Hulk based on your video and I have no regrets! I've been wearing it for a week now and whether or not it has a clone movement (I don't think it does) mine's running at +2.4secs/day (gained a total of 0.9 sec in the last 47 hours when fully wound). The bezel was rather stiff and sharp at first, but after taking it to a hot bath it loosened up and now it's spot on. Perhaps my only issue with the watch would be that I got the short straw that is the bezel - although ceramic and overall pretty solid, mine is barely off center and that triggers my OCD lol. But hey, I guess I can't really complain at all for the price I paid (£44/ USD 57) and the devilishly accurate Seiko mvmt inside.

I'd disagree on your score of the Case and Bezel... But only on my own examples of both watches. There's zero play on my Pagani bezel, and the ceramic insert is worth an extra point in my book. I just wish they did the Pagani in a 40mm case, rather than a 43mm. As far as the durability goes, I'd go the other way and give it to the Loreo, purely because the crown stem on the Pagani is very dodgy, and I'm not convinced it'll last more than a year of semi regular use. I might be wrong, only time will tell.

@PerthWAtch 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing those thoughts. So basically you agree... if you saw a bezel having as much play as I clearly demonstrated, you would mark it down as I did. The stem on my Pagani feels fine, but given the poor QC of this company it is entirely plausible that some of their product will feel entirely different.

@Mr_Memer.876 4 жыл бұрын

@@PerthWAtch absolutely, the QC is what really marks the Pagani down. My watch has a blemish on the lume of one of the indicies, as well as there being a slight scratch to the steel of one of the indicies as well. Neither are particularly noticeable to the naked eye, but they are there, and suggest not a lot of care and attention goes into the watch. It makes it a hard watch to recommend as, although the spec sheet is fantastic, I'll never be 100% confident it'll last - but then the same can be said of the Loreo. On my example the 12 o'clock index is misaligned, and there's noticeably less lume on one of the indicies compared with the others. Ultimately though, if you're prepared to risk £60 on either of them, the chances are you're going to get a great watch for the money, albeit with a few defects here and there. The QC on the Pagani wasn't enough if a negative to stop me buying their Daytona homage a while back too, which appears to be QC issue free so far. 👍🏼
