Did NOT RECEIVE THE WATCH!!!! Package never came, NOT DELIVERED... No response from seller after I repeatedly tried to contact via chat, mail etc etc.....BAD!!

@A-Plus Computer Services According to the seller the parcel was returned to him and did not ship. I opened a dispute and the seller shipped another watch but I have the feeling that the seller provided a tracking number but never shipped the watch. He provided a second tracking number and asked me to close the dispute. I told him I will when I see the tracking trajectory is moving. I received the watch after 12 days. I still have the watch and is working well ever since no Issues. But I won't buy again from that seller

How did the gold coating held up? Normal scrathing or is it fading? I’m interested in this watch it’s so cheap and great looking

Thank you for watching Robert. The NH35A will last for longer than 5 years. The reality is they are less expensive to replace with new, than to service. The Pearl DG5833GMT doesn't have the same durability, as the build quality and Quality Control isn't Seiko level. It is the luck of the draw if one gets a good or bad one. So it could last for a short period, or 5 years; its impossible to define an answer. The overall build quality of 2021 PD-1661, and PD-1662 has improved over earlier versions. I was really impressed with improved bezel action on this piece, and also on the PD-1661 (rubber strap version) I reviewed. It's good to see Pagani Design improving gradually with time.

Thank you for watching Mark. Unfortunately that is the gamble one takes when buying a Pagani Design from AliExpress; it is the luck of the draw whether one gets a good or bad one. Generally the QC on the latest PD-1661 is better than the earlier versions. Pagani Design work on a business model of mass production with minimal profit margin per piece. To give you an idea; batches of 500 pieces of each colour PD-1661 are made. QC therefore isn't done on the 500 pieces in a batch as that would slow down production, increasing production costs; the wholesale price per piece to resellers, and the retail price per piece. So to answer your question, no it isn't feasible to check your Hulk for QC defects before sending it out. Pagani Design are a watch factory; they do not retail watches on AliExpress. This is a common misconception. For example collectors think "Pagani Design Official Store" means they are dealing direct with the factory; they aren't. The factory makes the watches and wholesales them to multiple AliExpress resellers. The resellers are buying the watches in bulk orders in order to get low wholesale prices. They don't QC the watches in every shipment; they are sold as they come from the factory. Any suggestions? If you want better quality buy a San Martin SN017. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching. Regards, #WR4K

Thank you for watching Daniel. Glad you enjoyed it. 6" is the minimum size for the Oyster bracelet. Often collectors are unaware there are 3 micro adjustment dimples on he inside of the clasp to shorten it to the minimum. Both the PD-1662 Jubilee, and PD-1661 Oyster bracelets have these 3 dimples inside the clasp. To adjust it, open the Easylink extension and flip it over. You will then see 2 slots in the end link. You will need a Bergeon 5757F spring bar tool from Amazon. This has a fine 2 prong fork small enough to fit into the slots. Press in the spring bar at one end while putting pressure on the end link and it will disengage from the dimple. Then do the same with the other end. You can them slide it from the out micro adjust dimples, to the middle one, and inner one. This will reduce the bracelet length to the absolute minimum. Regards.

@@watchreviews4k thanks. I found the internal micro adjust a bit fiddly compared to standard micro adjust you see on most bracelets but managed to get it to its smallest size in the end, just a bit looser still than I'd like. with a two tone watch like this you've got to keep it on the bracelet imo. I've been told the jubilee bracelets on pagani are a bit longer than the oyster style ones. If this fits as small as a 6 inch wrist I might just have to go for it

@@dannyfitz1878 Yes, the micro adjustment is fiddly. I suggested to the Pagani Design factory they introduce a Glidelock to the PD-1661, and PD-1662. They liked they idea, but didn't want to do it as they were worried about legal claims from Rolex SA Geneva, as the Glidelock is patented. Of course many other brands have copied it and are are taking the risk. See my Glidelock clasp modification video below; it may interest you. Many collectors have used the Carlywet Glidelock on their PD-1661, and PD-1662; as it reduces the bracelet length more. Carlywet also sells the two-tone version which would suit.

Only found your channel a few days ago and I've watched quite a few reviews already hadn't seen any of the other content but you make some great videos, keep it up!

I'm OK sizing bracelets, switching straps, adding deployents to leather straps but getting a drill involved seemed like a step too far for me haha

@@dannyfitz1878 Try the minimum of the 3 micro adjustment dimples inside the clasp. If that doesn't make the bracelet short enough, the best option is to buy a two-tone Carlywet Glidelock. See link below; I think the rose gold would match this Root Beer best. The Glidelock offers shorter minimum bracelet length as it's shorter than the Pagani Design clasp.

Thank you for watching John. Glad you enjoyed it. The DG5833 hasn't improved. It is still the luck of the draw if one gets a good or bad one. The NH35A doesn't have a GMT hour hand. The PD-1661 (Submariner Date homage) uses the NH35A. The PD-1662 (GMT Master II homage) used the DG5833. The NH35A has "NH35A" engraved on the rotor. The DG5833 has "PAGANI DESIGN" on the rotor. Hopefully Pagani Design will upgrade to using the new NH34A GMT movement as used in the Seiko 5KX GMT's. They are more reliable as per the NH35A. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k Thank you for your quick answer. That's really a shame that PD still uses the PG5833. Even with an uptick in price that's still a big chance to take. Guess I'll have to see what San Martin offers or consider Seiko's newest gmt. And buying from Amazon would probably be just as bad.

I have 2 invicta watches with gold plating 2 years now and they look the same, I don't know how good pagani does their coating. I would have to wait and see after I buy this one.

Sorry to hear of your problems. Often collectors have trouble removing screw pins are they are bonded in with threadlocker. The correct method of removal is to first heat up the threadlock using a butane blowtorch. This breaks the bond between the screw thread and internal bracelet thread; thus the screw pins can be unscrewed freely. See my video below where I detail this on my Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41; same tips apply to all bracelets with screw pins. With regards to the Easylink style extension, yes its often the case they are too tight in the body of the clasp and therefore difficult or impossible to deploy. It varies from watch to watch, some deploy easily, some don't. Regards, #WR4K kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zspyh7qb2N3Vc2w.html&ab_channel=WatchReviews4K

@@watchreviews4k no, I can’t imagine they were bonded in with thread locker because this is the way it came new out of the box….both new bracelets had similar issues with screw pins being either bent or impossible to remove, which should not happen on a new bracelet. Both dive extensions were impossible to deploy. The bracelet was terrible simple as that. To be fair, and I mention this in my video, never had an issue like that before on any pagani watch I received, but two times in a row with the same model/bracelet, that’s troublesome to me. I will never buy the rootbeer version, I recently got myself the Pepsi version and it’s fantastic

@@watchreviews4k I had another person comment on my video that they had issues with another model, but similar bracelet, with the screws breaking. I’m wondering if there is something that is happening because of the colouring or plating of the stainless steel that is causing some of these issues with the screw pins? Because I’ve never had an issue with a bracelet with screw pins on a plain stainless steel. My date just homage with two tone jubilee also had screw pins that just won’t budge on one side of the bracelet

Thank you for watching. I advise not showering, or bathing wearing any watch. Reason being, the heat pressurises the air inside the watch; which can damage the rubber O-ring seal around the crystal, caseback, and crown; thus causing the watch to leak and condensation to form inside the watch. Cold water from swimming, diving, washing hands, etc; does not do any damage as the cold doesn't pressurise the air inside; therefore doesn't make it expand. Regards, #WR4K

@@dobiloru Congratulations. Wear yours in good health. There is no way of telling if one has a good or bad Pearl DG5833 movement; one has to just use the watch and see how it performs. It really is impossible to say from looking at movement, or the feeling of how it manually winds. There are many factors in whether a movement is good or bad. The quality of the machining of the parts, the lubrication of the movement, was the movement QC inspected or not? Putting a watch on a timegrapher is the only way to tell if its a good or bad movement. For example if the beat rate isn't stable, or the accuracy isn't good (running very fast, or very slow). I appreciate this answer isn't going to put your mind at rest, but it is the reality. It really is the luck of the draw if one gets a good or bad one from the factory. Regards, #WR4K
