Today I received mine and I must say that they have updated the bracelet, now it has female links, the bracelet is fully brushed with a more vintage style, and the clasp is the same as the PD1718 model, they have greatly improved the quality and the cover no longer sounds rear.

Wow, that's awesome to hear! It was in separate need of an updated bracelet 👍

Thanks for the info. Is it the same link as above as P.D. haven't updated the photos & maybe you got lucky ( not envious) as the regular bracelets were out of stock?

I hope they do a steel bezel version to really get that Paul Newman 6239 look, the no-date makes the watch almost perfect. The only thing missing is a brushed bracelet.

I've been looking for a chronograph for a while (not for timing - like most people I just like the look!), and had settled on a Seiko meca-quartz being the best movement in my price range. Couldn't find a watch that had a good size case, with the movement, that I liked the look of without spending hundreds of pounds. Pagani must have been watching over my shoulder as I searched, they have put almost everything I wanted in a watch at a third of the price of most! Ordered, along with a few straps - looking forward to receiving and timing random stuff around my desk!

Just received mine.. I wish it was a larger, heavier watch like my Rolex Sea Dweller. Strap is cheap (my opinion) and even the movement of my wrist it feels/ sounds like a dollar store watch. They do supply a NATO style watchband but think I'll put a leather strap on it. I don't see any anti glare on mine nor the video review. Extremely good review though. Very thorough.

@stephenhuber1079 2 жыл бұрын

Nice looking PD watch. A close homage to the 6239, a few changes would make it even better. Fully brushed bracelet for one, I absolutely hate polished center links on an oyster bracelet, it makes the watch useless to me because it gets scratched just fitting the damn thing.

So happy they've finally deleted the date, I think they should have done it on their other chronographs too. As the watch itself, I don't necessarily think it's a paul newman homage, rather it's an homage to modern Daytonas that have been customized to look similar to the real thing from the 70's

There are two things I don’t get on this watch: - The bracelet with polished midlinks (it feels completely out of place). - The ceramic bezel insert (they should have gone with steel). I love the rest of the watch including the fact that they left out the date window. That is the only gripe that I have with my Pagani Design PD-1664 (rose gold case and subdials & black dial).

I don't see a difference in the crystal between this and speedy. Both blank the sub hands with reflection. But I have a tag heuer and that's the same. Fir me it's the hand alignment that spoils pagani. A jump minute register on the chrono would be great but that's VK not pagani. I wish they'd just name a watch if their own instead of homage stuff because for even 3x the price the case and dial and straps are amazing.

I don't like quartz watches but in this case I will make an exception. It's on my Pagani list. Next is the 007 Omega then this. I want to get an old 70's leather strap like Newman had it on. Thinking about yellowing the white part of the dial. At that price, you don't get scared doing mods. I have a feeling Pagani is going to get more expensive going forward so I'm taking advantage now. I will say to anyone considering a Pagani...be sure to get the models with the Seiko movements. The Pearl movement is junk.

I wish it was Cronos or San Martin that made these. It would have a proper bracelet, would be a much nicely finished watch, and yeah it would be twice the price, but it would be worth it. With Pagani you just have to have to many compromises. The money spreads too thin, it is impossible to make a well made watch at this price with all these specs. A fun piece though.

The crystal and ceramic bezel are superb but thats as much of the good things i can say.

Your video would really benefit if you wouldn't be moving the watch constantly. People want to be able to FOCUS the subject and have a look at it. Put the watch a STAND that can be turned or angled when needed, and is otherwise holding the watch STILL, so the glare from the lighting doesn't interfere either.

I started this channel based on trying something different than what everyone else does (talking over B-roll). A lot of time I just wanted to see the watches from a certain angle and had to hunt for said angle in videos. I get what you are saying, though.
