I love it, and wear it often. It's quartz so just pick up and go, but far better made than I expected at the price. It even came with a little screwdriver to remove links.

Any specific watch?

I’ve got 13 so may be able to help.

Wow.

Either the one above (Daytona) or a BLRO/BLNR/VTNR homage.

Or the OP41 homage in Yellow/Turquoise

If you mean GMT homage, here's mine, all 80 quids' worth. Pearl movement rather than the more desirable seiko. I believe they can be hit and miss, but mine seems to run fine, and I'm very happy with it, as I am with all of my Paganis (9 and counting).

The steeldive GMT is also getting very good notices,with seiko movement, albeit at twice the price.

These are also great..

Ok so I’ve got a Pagani Panda Daytona, also a ‘Tiffany’ and a Pink dialled version. They are fantastic, and for the price ( Panda was (£50, the other 2 £30 each ) they cannot be beaten. The specs are what you’d expect from a much higher priced watch, Sapphire crystal, 316 stainless, Seiko mecaquartz movement etc

I’ve got a ‘Batgirl’ GMT again which has been fantastic, it has the less desirable Pearl movement but I’ve had it for 2 years now and it has been faultless. If I was to buy one now I’d opt for the Seiko NH34 variant, slightly more expensive but very much worth it.

I don’t have an OP, but again it’ll be fantastic spec for very little money.

I would upload pics but for some reason I can’t right now. If you check out the ‘Under £200 and occasional opera’ thread you’ll find plenty of pics and right ups in there.

I think for the money, which is mostly under £100 they simply cannot be beaten for quality or specs. Pretty sure I can safely say you won’t be disappointed with whichever model you choose.

Family watches - mine is the smaller of the two, my son has the other.

Good value so far - only had them a couple of years

[blue_haddock]

I've had a few over the years, nice enough for the money but i've never bonded with them. Doubt i'll get any more.

[trancem]

Great info. Thanks guys.

Going to place an order for one tonight

I think they are great. They are decent built quality, decent movement (the worlds most boring movement the Seiko NH35 in plenty of them). They typically get great reviews.

I don't own any at all at the moment. I don't know why - think it's because of the display caseback. For some reason homages to me should have a solid steel caseback as it hides the uber reliable, uber workhorse Seiko movement. It's such a reliable dull thing it should be hidden away from sight.

I fully acknoledge that I am a bit weird in that regard.

Caseback of the 'Explorer 1' (PD 1692) is nice...



Front is not bad either (excuse weird slice in the screengrab)...

[pistonheadforum]

That looks nice but alas the explorer-a-like slot in my colection is already taken by something else.

Ordered a PD1701V3 last night for delivery tomorrow at £82. Any suggestions for curved end alternative straps?

[Mark-ri571]

Just put a curved rubber strap on my recently acquired Pagani “moonwatch” as the leather strap supplied was uncomfortable. The rubber strap fits far better and much more comfortable.
