CEYADGPagani Design Men's Watches Japanese Automatic Mechanical 40mm Sport Waterproof Stainless Steel Sapphire Glass Wrist Watch (Rblack)

First I ordered one a A Cheap Gift to a Watch geek friend of mine as A joke. The First was a Joke because it was clearly a Used Return Item. Sent that Back, ordered a Replacement one. It Arrived to late for the Birthday Joke and Actually Looked Really Nice ( I'm a Watch Guy since I was 13 yrs old and I'm 53 now,, So?). So Nice I said " How can they do this? How can they Build a watch like this and Sell it for under $100?". The Case, Bracelet fit and Finish, was what I was Impressed the Most by. Next was that they Actually use Real Sapphire Crystal ( i tested it) a 2.5x's Date Magnifier and a Ceramic Bezel Insert that lined up Spot on. The Negative, if you call it One, it had a 60sec Click Ring instead of a 120. That wasn't a Problem because it Lined Up Dead on but the Back play was noticeable but Slight. Note: I never Understood people complaining About Slight Back Play. If you Use Your Divers Bezels the Way you Should, in all kinds of Dirt, Muck, Salt water or just Every Single Day. You'll be Thankful that slight Back Play allows water&soap to Remove that Build up from inside the Bezel Ring area, keeping it from Locking up on you due to debris build-up.Now as to The Dial. It looks like a Quality Dial. Quality in the Sense that it "looks" like ( to the Necked eye) a Dial I've seen on more Pricey'er Time Pieces I have Now and Far More Expensive'er Pieces I've Sold Recently to get ahead of the "Bubble Pop" (that going to happen. You Fanboys of the R know what I'm talking about. P.S. thanks for The Cash. You are some very loyal Customers to the R and its Brand indeed. Easy Sells. I did keep the T's, they are Priced Right and I can Give them away as a Gift and Not Miss the Money).Anyway, the Dials were Clean, Clearly Marked and Pleasant to look at ( even with Readers). The Name? Well...it's the Name of the Company. It is what it is. Now to the Movement, the NH35 ( Seiko's Mass Produce Movement) it's a Seiko NH35 they Work and Work for a Lifetime and Can be Regulated or Even Adjusted for Far better timing than they sometimes Run, with Easy. BEST part..Cheap to Replace. Now I'm familiar with 7s26, 4R35,36 to 6R15's series all the Way to 8L35 and Seiko's GMT Movement in the LandMaster and all All Rock Solid. The NH35 is Found in So Many Watches these day because it just Works.Now for the Punch. I think it's hit or Miss when getting one of the Watches for This Reason. The Replacement I received and was in awe of it. Quickly turned Left. While in my home wearing it for a Couple of Days, the Bracelet Came off the Lugs, hit the Floor. I picked it up and Found the Spring Bar/Pin. Turns out, that pin/ Spring bar was Shorter than the Other one that didn't come out. I found this Out after putting the Bracelet back onto the Case and Then on my Wrist. About 10mins later, it fell off again. But this Time the Crystal Popped out. I was like " See, that why you don't buy stuff like this".But Wait...hold on a Sec. The Pins/SpringBars were Very good Pins and Pins I Know well being used in my Omegas, Oris, Tudors and so on. Not the fatboy ones we See in Seiko's Marine Masters or In The Prospect Diver collection or In Big R's Divers. They were in fact Quality Heavy duty Spring bars.Now as to that Crystal Popping out. I did noticed when this Watch Arrived, that the Crystal did seem higher in the Case than the first That (should have Never been sent) came. It's my Belief it wasn't seated in the Case Property from the Start. So that went back.That should be enough Right?. Nah, they Actually got me Curious as to if how they Could build a Watch that good ( up to those Two Issues)? So i ordered A 40mm GMT Coke version. When it Arrived, I was Stunned. First I Checked the Spring bar, the Crystal, all checked out. Then the Crown to Case Action, Nice. Gave it a Good Look over under Magnification, WOW! Now I'm Waiting for The Crap to Happen, so I set the Watch and let it Run for 4days. It Kept perfert time for 3days and only started to Gain 5-6 sec at the End of the 4th day. Ok..so far..so good. Note: the GMT Movement inside is a Chinese Movement ( a Copy of Some Movement that allows for the Independent setting of the GMT hand while not disrupting time Keeping.) I'm not Familiar with it and Not Considering it at All in Talking about this Watch ( I'll tell you Later after some more time with it). I am talking about the Fit, Finish, Size and Look of this Watch. How can they Do this For Under $100?I'm keeping the GMT version and I Ordered this Kermit Green (Big R wannabe) here. I'm doing a Dial Change and Movement Upgrade ( the Movement Upgrade isn't Necessary but I got Two 6R15's that needs homes so, what better home to go into).This Kermit Green Version is Pure Perfection. Not Perfection of top Tier Names, of Course not. But Perfection in Anything being put out up to $1000 to $3000. I'm not exaggerating, in fact, I would go higher on the Particular Piece. Now Remember.. I'm Speaking to Looks, Fit and Finish...not Movements and Use of Materials.But Still.....how can they.......do this?

Update 9/5/2022:The watch was running about 3 minutes fast every day, which was too much to live with. So I took it to a local watchmaker who adjusted it. That cost me an extra $50 but it was worth it because now it’s running perfectly. It would have been nice if the manufacturer adjusted the movement before sending it out, but I guess they need to cut a few corners to sell these watches so cheap. The other corner they cut is the lume. That’s not a deal breaker for me, because I still love the watch, especially now that it’s extremely accurate!Original review:Maybe I lucked out, because I have heard that some Pagani watches have QC issues- but not mine! I can’t really find any surprising flaws. Like everyone points out, it’s not a high end Swiss watch, so I didn’t expect it to be. But it is a great looking, well made timepiece.My only frustration with it was this: the plastic film that protected the watch left some adhesive in places that was challenging to rub off. And it wasn’t too easy to get the protective film off the crown tip.On to the positives:- Because of the ceramic bezel (which looks great and works well) and sapphire crystal, I expect that the watch will look good for a long time.- I really like the rubber bracelet it came on, and I think the blue / black gradient dial I selected looks very classy.Minor concern:- At first the watch ran fast- approximately 3-5 minutes fast per day. But that seems to have settled down somewhat and it’s keeping pretty decent time now.- A couple of random observations- I don’t care for the look of the cyclops date magnifier. And in my opinion the crown sticks out 1 mm too far. But I don’t blame Pagani for either of these design elements. I ordered an homage watch, and I knew what I was getting myself into. But I think these details could be refined to make this classic design even better. These comments would be better directed toward the company that originated this design. But I’m sure the people at “R” don’t give a hoot what I think, because I won’t be dropping 10 grand on a watch any time soon!If you decide to order one of these, I hope you’re as happy as I am.

The PD was delivered in perfect condition. The quality is as you should expect. It's a $100 homage, the looks are spot on. However the bracelet and clasp leave you wanting more. I may polish them accordingly but for the time I know what I got, it looks insanely beautiful and cannot wait to add another PD to the collection. In addition, I would like to say that when comparing the time to my GWG 2000, if you know you know, the seconds are about -5s per day. No biggie cause I can adjust before leaving the house for the day. If one were to wear this daily by the end of each month you'll be minutes out of time.
