This watch is an exceptional value...$130 for an automatic watch with a reliable Japanese movement; it has a solid feel to it and good attention to detail. With 316 Stainless steel, water resistance, sapphire crown, and a solid clasp that mimics Rolex's design (like the rest of the watch), it checks a lot of the boxes. That said, I would imagine it does have some materials that are less expensive than many of the high-end and/or luxury brands. We know that a huge percentage of a luxury watch cost is the marketing expense and brand premium; some to engineering; and some to the materials and/or equipment used to build the calibers. That said, I keep coming back to the cost. You could be 500 of these and enjoy wearing them for the same cost of a single luxury watch. (When the caliber stops working, toss it. It's probably cheaper to buy a new one than get it repaired.)Is a luxury watch 500x better than the Pagani? That's for you to answer, as it depends on how much wearing a branded watch is worth to you. If you want a handsome watch that performs well and looks as good as the luxury watch this is emulating, this will satisfy you. If having a Rolex logo on the face is worth $15,000 more to you, you won't be happy with the Pagani.Liked the look and solidity and weight of the watch and bracelet but cannot change the date without rotating the hands through 24 hours and am mystified by the GMT hand which doesn’t seem to change - which I think should since the bezel is fixed. UPDATE - figured out how to move date and GMT hand (sensitive crown winder) so now am perfectly happy. What a watch for the price!Great watch for what it is. The movement isn't the best, but it has a decent power reserve and it's more than accurate enough. I'm not a fan of the clasp as it doesn't really offer an indent or anything to make it easier to remove, but it holds well. The watch overall looks fantastic for the price you pay. Especially with the tiffany dial. Overall, it was a good buy for the price. You're not going to impress any "watch people", but we can all spend thousands on a watch.This is a very high quality watch for the price.I just recently discovered Pagani.They really do have some of the best quality watches I have come in contact with . I like this model , every detail is on point ???The watch is solid. I own plenty of real high-end watches and I was really surprised with this watch. It look great, it’s solid, but my only complaint is that it gains about 5 minutes a day.Was tempted to buy the $15K Rolex to which this watch is an homage. So glad I saved $14,900 and bought this instead.Fit, finish, heft, and feel are outstanding. Bracelet is very nice.It has been running for four days now and is 1.5 seconds slow. Amazing.I was shocked on how good the quality was. Finding great watches for a good price is hard. 140 is a great price for these watches.Loved the Pagani 007 homage so ordered the PD Explorer II polar homage . Just did not keep time, lost one hour in two. The misaligned bezel and the free screwdriver being the wrong size acceptable despite increase in prices. Just. But I need it to tell time. It's a watch.This timepiece is very well finished and offers realistic value for money in this price range of sub £100.The dial is sensibly sized and looks attractive in the white version I chose.The 24 hour orange marker adds to the overall appeal and contrasts nicely on the dial.The cyclops is reasonably well placed although you do have to concentrate to realise double date days effectively.The second hand has a pleasing sweep and is what you would expect from a Chinese automatic movement.I expect this version to run a little slower however.The lume is acceptable but needs development to bring it in the range of a Seiko for example.The watch strap is serviceable and the maker has added a useful screw in pin system similar to the Rolex system making strap adjustment very easy.Side by side the watch does resemble the Rolex explorer 2 and is a respectful homage to it.I acquired this example via Amazon USA and I might add I am absolutely amazed at the delivery time of less than 72 hours door to door.Well done DHL.Overall I would like to recommend this watch to anyone looking for a promising addition to their collection.Purchased at the end of April with delivery scheduled for late May, arrived two weeks early. Great service and this watch certainly does not disappoint, superbly and beautifully built keeping good time so far The reviews on this watch state that it only has a push in crown, incorrect it does have a screw down crown important for water resistance. Fantastic value for £139E’ un bell’orologio, alla pari di tanti altri Pagani Design. E’ chiaramente ispirato all’Explorer II, ma alcune sottili differenze come indici e lancette meno corposi, forma differente del “freccione” e diverso font dei numeri sulla lunetta fanno capire che di tratta di un hommage e non di una replica rimarchiata PD.La cassa è ben rifinita, lucidata nelle parti laterali della carrure, nel bordo della lunetta e in un paio di anelli concentrici nel fondello. Tutto il resto è spazzolato. I bordi neri degli indici riportati e delle lancette di ore e minuti contrastano con il quadrante bianco opaco favorendo la leggibilità. L’orologio è un vero GMT, il freccione arancione è indipendente dalle altre lancette e può essere impostato per leggere un’altra ora sulla scala a 24 ore della lunetta. La corona a vite con logo, protetta da ampie spallette, si svita e avvita agevolmente operando in maniera fluida nelle varie impostazioni. Il vetro è zaffiro. Il fondello a vite in acciaio è vetrato centralmente lasciando vedere il movimento DG3804 con il rotore leggermente decorato. Il bracciale tipo Oyster, completamente spazzolato e leggermente rastremato (20->18mm), è di discreta qualità con maglie, finali e chiusura pieni ed è regolabile in lunghezza tramite viti.Quindi ottimi materiali ed eccellente finitura.Vediamo quali sono invece i difetti: i bordi laterali del bracciale non sono proprio taglienti, ma gli spigoli sono un po’ troppo vivi, la luminescenza di indici e lancette è scarsa (specie se confrontata con quella del Seiko SKX009), la chiusura del bracciale dispone dell’estensione per la muta che però essendo in lamierino è opportuno non estrarla per non farla vedere e infine la lente magnificatrice della data, seppur incollata in posizione esatta soffre di parecchi riflessi che non rendono sempre agevole la lettura della data.Di tutti i suoi peccatucci veniali l’unico che mi disturba un po’ è l’ultimo perché devo orientare opportunamente l’orologio per leggere la data, mentre gli altri non mi preoccupano affatto.Attenzione, l’orologio viene spedito dalla Cina. Ovviamente non arriva il giorno dopo, ma io lo ho ricevuto nel tempo record di 9 giorni tramite Poste Italiane.Se piace il genere e magari se lo si trova, come è capitato a me, a meno di 100€, da prendere senza problemi.Nothing to dislike about the product. Get one while you can. Excellent value for money.
