Mr. Robert Hill DDS
ok I came into this purchase very skeptical. I am no watch snob. I think Rolex is almost all hype. I typically see myself as a Seiko person which is why I wanted to try one of these because I saw they use seiko movement, thus japan movement on the pagani watch face. the packaging far surpasses Seikos with far more plastic wrap on the band and face and back, a better interior foam protection and even a more interesting box. Seiko is rather generic although nice enough with a better pillow instead of again cheap foam block. The watch itself has sharp face graphics, good heft in weight. solid band with the most impressive feature at this price.... band links that unscrew with a provided tiny screw driver instead of requiring PUSHING out or a special tool. I have spent a long while adjusting seiko bands with some frustration. The clasp is very solid with rather SQUARED off edges that could be a bit sharp with another persons arm while holding hands.I would recommend Pagani work on rounding the edges I will update once I know how well it keeps accurate time but if it is seiko movement I DOUBT that will be the issue. this look would cost well over 200$ so I wanted to try. I am happy I did.I work in advertising and branding and know from experience that more expensive does not equal more reliable or even more quality. Compare a camry to a mercedes e350 for a perfect example. The camry simply works better and its residual value shows this.Pagani design is the brand that makes more sense and way less risk. Why put 10-$20,000 on your wrist and rich scratching your investment?A couple of last thought. Pagani should make their logo icon a raised bezeled dimension item on the face in place of the 12 mark similar to Rolex. Their logo deserves more than a flat front on the face that seems a little cheap compared to even seiko LS treatment of their brand in chronographs. In all fairness the seiko Daytona homage in $500 so there's that.On of the 3 inner dials represent the hour of the day for full 24 hours so you can tell if your set for am or pm for the date change. A feature the seiko does not have. Even the cheapest chrome by seiko at this face size is $140 so this thing really is a steal and even being a lower cost has better bracelet, better protection for delivery and weigh a bit more if you like a watch with substance. And lastly the watch controls allow screw down securing for better water resistance and preventing accidental stop watch activation or changing time. The buttons themselves when unscrewed to open use position still require a solid push and satisfying click to start stop timer. If yours seems like it's not working you need to unscrew the button more or push harder. It's a manly solid force required like an Olympic quality stop watch. Features I have never seen on a budget watch.So as a wrap up I suggest you try it with an open mind because a logo has no meaning unless you believe it's magical like fairy dust or Santa clause. Judge pagani as a watch and try to forget its price.You might be as surprise ssd as I was.I kinda wish I knew before I bought 3 seikos recently.
