At this price point it simply can't be beaten and Great quality the movement is on point pagani just keeps getting better!!!!

@@Jeff-wk3wk Thank you for watching Jeff. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Congratulations. Excellent choice. The current PD-1661's have improved in quality a lot compared to early versions. Also check out my PD-1661 (rubber strap version) review. It may interest you. I was really impressed with the improved bezel action. Similar to the PD-1662 Root Beer I recently reviewed. It's good to see them gradually improving on their negatives. Wear yours in good health. Regards.

Thank you for watching Mario. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the 2.5x magnification is a good improvement over earlier models. I am surprised Steinhart are still using 1.5x on the Ocean One. Pagani Design are gradually making improvements, such as the bezel action. Regards.

Thank you for watching Steven. Glad you enjoyed it. The PD-1661 has improved in quality a lot compared to the early versions. Wear your pieces in good health. Regards.

Thank you for watching. Congratulations. Excellent choice. Yes, those negatives have all improved in the latest 2021 versions. I noticed the new matte crown is larger than the earlier mirror polished one too. However like yourself, I also prefer it. Wear yours in good health. Regards.

Thank you for watching. Yes, I am aware of this. Regards.

@@watchreviews4k My pleasure,great reviews👍

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Regards.

Thank you for watching Steve. Glad you enjoyed it. Congratulations. Excellent choice. The current 2021 PD-1661's are the best Pagani Design have ever made. I was really pleased with the improved bezel action on my Cermit. Overall the Quality Control has improved from early models. Wear yours in good health. Regards.

@@watchreviews4k I'm in danger of buying other colour ways.. I think my wife will tell me off I do though!

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching. Congratulations. Excellent choice. Agreed, it would be better if Pagani Design used a Glidelock clasp. I have suggested to them they do this in 2021, and they are currently considering it. They are also considering making a reverse Cermit version (black bezel, green dial) after seeing my modified one. It is tricky to move the extension between the 3 micro adjust dimples inside the clasp using a spring bar tool. I am still looking for a better Glidelock clasp from AliExpress; as the Carlywet one I reviewed was poor quality. Wear your Hulk in good health. Regards.

@@watchreviews4k if they do a bracelet with a glidelock mechanism and it's good, I'll consider buying it from them, even if I don't need an extra bracelet, haha. Also, thank you for your reviews. It made deciding on my purchase easier.

@@demoneyeslaharl I think my reverse Cermit is likely to be produced in 2021 as they liked the idea. I have also suggested they make an Explorer the same as my modified PD-1661 in 40mm. They are currently considering it after seeing my video. I suggested all PD-1661, and PD-1662 models are upgraded with Glidelocks; and emailed them my Carlywet Glidelock fitted to my PD-1661 as an example. Even if it means adding another 5-10 Euro to the retail price; collectors would be happy to pay it for a Glidelock. Or as you suggest; if they offered the Glidelock bracelet upgrade for sale. One can currently buy the Jubilee, and Oyster bracelets separately on AliExpress; as often collectors want to change the polished centre link Oyster bracelet to the brushed version. The Bliger Glidelock I fitted to my modified PD-1661 Cermit was better than the Carlywet one; but still not as well finished as the Pagani Design clasp. So I am hoping Pagani Design can make a better quality Glidelock. Glad you enjoyed my reviews, and they helped you make a decision on your purchase. That really is the intended purpose of my reviews. Regards.

@@watchreviews4k Nice job if they come out with the reverse Cremit,then 👍. I think the path forward for them, at least for the submariner homages at this point, is more color options, better clasp and either better lume or better QC. Though I'm afraid of what will happen to the price of they fulfill the last three at once, haha. Cheers!

@@demoneyeslaharl Check out my reverse Cermit review below. Their current business model is high volume batch production with low profit margin within the under 100 USD low-tier. The PD-1661, PD-1662 are hot sellers at circa 70 USD on AliExpress. However if they upgrade to BGW9 Superluminova, and Glidelock clasp; that realistically means 100+ USD retail selling price; which makes them less competitive against rival brands in the low-tier. Their profit margin per piece increases; but it sales volume would exponentially decrease as less collectors would be willing to pay 100+ USD for a PD-1661 than the current 70 USD. On a batch of 100K pieces, it is better profit margin gained at 70 USD retail, than making 50K pieces at 100+ USD retail. Pagani Design know the sweet spot in the low-tier for them is circa 70 USD. Would you or I pay 100+ USD for BGW9, and a Glidelock? Of course. But the majority of collectors just won't pay the extra for these improvements. Personally I would prefer to see the Glidelock upgraded before the lume though; as I think that is more important. The lack of micro adjustment on the current PD-1661, and PD-1662 is a main negative. On a positive note they are making gradual improvements to bezel action; which was their other main negative. The PD-1661, and PD-1662's I have recently reviewed are definitely better overall than the earlier versions from a year ago. The PD-1661 Hulks and Cermits they are currently making seem to be the best quality they have made to date. Regards.

Thank you for watching. I appreciate the suggestion. However 4K video files are four times larger than 1080. So that means to edit in a 10 second distance shot of the watch it would mean 2-3 hour processing in editing. I prefer to record my videos in one take in 15 minutes. Then import the file from my SD card to my laptop, and upload straight to KZfaq; fully processed in 4K within 2 hours. I just don't have time to spend another 2-3 hours extra in editing just to add a 10 second clip you see. Regards.

Hi, is this worth it?

Thank you for watching Esko. I emailed Tisell asking me to send me one for review; unfortunately they ignored my email. It is a shame as I would like to review their watches on my channel. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching Achim. Glad you enjoyed it. Regards.

Thank you for watching. Congratulations. Excellent choice. Wear yours in good health. Regards, #WR4K

Hello,have you your watch come with seiko nh35a movement or with miyota 8215w?

It depends on the bezel colour. The Smurf, and black versions have polished centre links. The Kermit, and Hulk, versions have brushed centre links. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k great, thanks! I'm going hulk and like the brushed bracelet much more. Much appreciated.

Thank you for watching Achim. Yes, the Easylink is also tight in this one. Regards.

Yes Hugo, this fits a 6-7" wrist well. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching Pierre. Glad you enjoyed it. It means the brand either paid me a fee, or gifted me the watch; in return for reviewing it. Regards

Thank you for watching. Sorry to hear that regarding the strap, and poor regulations. Agreed, -34 seconds/day is bad. -20 to +40 is acceptable for an NH35A, although typically they run +/-10 (or better). See link below, I reviewed the black rubber strap version and found it fitted correctly. I appreciate your feedback regarding the green rubber strap. I also previously reviewed the 6200, and concur the bezel action is superior. Congratulations, excellent choice. Wear yours in good health. Regards, #WR4K kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKiCdJyhxpmlfoE.html

Thank you for watching. My next video will be discussing my reverse Cermit PD-1661. I dislike PVD coated, and bronze watches; so have never reviewed them on my channel. Cheap watches in funky colours do not interest me either. Regards.

Thank you for watching Tarpan. No difference in quality. All Pagani Design watches are made in the same factory in Guangzhou since 2012. Regards.

Thank you for watching. Yes, it is a shame they didn't use a screw down crown; rather than push/pull one. I also think they should have used a solid stainless steel diver extension like the PD-1661, rather than the pressed metal one. Regards.

Thank you for watching Tony. Pagani Design are using the Miyota 8205 in the PD-1661. San Martin are using the Epson YN55A; due to the shortage of NH35A movements in China. The YN55A is reliable and well proven. Orient use it in several watches including the Kamasu. Orient call it the F6922. The YN55A quality, accuracy, and reliability is equal to the NH35A. The 8205 doesn't have hacking which is a negative, and also the rotor is more noisy than the NH35A. However it is also reliable, and well proven. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching. Pagani Design are not making the PD-1661 with Miyota 8215. They are making it with the NH35A only. Please provide a link to the reseller you saw advertising it with the 8215. Also check out my Ocean One 39 Kermit review; it may interest you. I recommend another option; the San Martin SN017 (see my review). This week I will also be reviewing the SN019 with PT5000 movement. My advice is wait until you have seen that review before making your mind up. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k My reply continues getting deleted... I tried to share the link but apparently I can't. This is not coming from a reseller, it is from the Pagani Design official store (at AliExpress). Last week they quietly started removing any reference to the NH35A and replaced it with the Miyota 8215, there are even recent reviews of people who purchased under the impression they would get NH35A and instead received a PD1661 with the Miyota 8215.

Thank you for watching Kwstas. Avoid changing the date between 8.00pm and 4.00am, as this can damage the movement. To manually wind it; unscrew the crown fully, but don't pull it out, just let the spring push it out itself. This is the manual winding position. If you pull it out to the first click, this is the date setting position. The second click is the time setting position. From the movement being stopped dead, you will need to manually wind it 40 turns clockwise. Don't worry you can't over wind it as their is a ratcheting mechanism which releases excess tension in the main spring to prevent damage from over winding. You can also wind the watch automatically by wearing it 8-12 hours per day. After you have given it 40 winds, you can then set the date, then set the time. This will avoid any damage to the movement. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k thank you very much for the answer and also for your time thanks again

Thank you for watching Claudiu. There is currently a shortage of NH35A in China; so Pagani Design have switched to using the 8215. Yes it is a downgrade. The 8215 does not have hacking, and also the rotor is noisy. It is reliable, and has similar accuracy. Overall the NH35A is a better quality movement. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k but if i don't bother so much about the accuracy,it is worth to buy the watch even with miyota ? I mean, i can deal with a few seconds more or less when i regulate my watch. For me,watches has become just an jewelries.

@@claudiugeorge5445 Yes, its worth buying with the 8215. It has similar accuracy to the NH35A: -20 to +40 seconds per day. They typically run within +/- 10 seconds per day which is OK. The lack of hacking might not be a problem for you if you don't mind not being able to stop the second hand when setting the time. So really it is just the noisy rotor to consider. Many collectors find the sound of the rotor spinning to be annoying, as it is louder than a NH35A. Personally it isn't loud enough to bother me, although I do prefer the NH35A as its quieter. The important thing is the 8215 is a reliable movement. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k right now i want to buy this pagani,and the seiko 5kx srpd,the green one, with 4r36 movement, for 180 euro,with 2 years warranty, do you think is better this pagani ,or the seiko is better?

@@claudiugeorge5445 The 5KX is a better watch. Better lume, better bezel action. Also the 4R36 is a better quality movement. See my 5KX review below. Regards, #WR4K kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z75hd6qbybKUl6M.html&ab_channel=WatchReviews4K

Thank you for watching. The San Martin SN017-G V3 is better. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching Mario. Regards.

Thank you for watching. Sorry to hear that. It sounds like you have a faulty movement. It should take 40 clockwise manual winds to fully wind the NH35A movement to its maximum 40 hours. Alternatively it should automatically wind fully being worn 8 hours per day. Try screwing the crown down fully, then when you unscrew it be careful to wind it without pulling it out to the first click position, which is the date setting position. Also make sure you are winding it clockwise, not anticlockwise for 40 turns. If this doesn't start your movement it is faulty and you will have to return it to the seller for refund. Regards, #WR4K

No. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching Enrique. 2 weeks. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k hımm good ok thanks

Pagani green is much too bright and shiny for me, makes the whole watch look cheap and nasty. I swapped out the dial for a darker green, closer to the Rolex Hulk, now it looks OK-ish.

Thank you for watching Mike. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k how very polite

Be that as it may, very, very few people have 20k-30k USD to spend freely on a Rolex, so these so-called "cheap copies" are perfect entry pieces that open the gates for the majority of us to enjoy watches of relatively good value for a more reasonable amount of money, and absolutely no one has the right to look down on people who buy them. Also, keep in mind that the Swiss, who are now considered the kings of watchmaking, also had their origins making cheap copies of French and British watches, just like the Chinese are doing now. So don't be surprised if in a couple of decades (who knows if even less than that) some of these Chinese "copiers" become the next Tudor, Rolex, or even Patek Philippe.

A cheap copy would try to trick you into thinking it is a Rolex. It would say Rolex on the dial, and be dishonest about what it is. An homage watch differs because it IS honest that it isn't actually a Rolex. It's a Pagani Design. It isn't trying to be something it's not. It's up front and honest that it isn't the watch that it is an homage of.
