This watch exceeded my expectations. It feels like a high quality timepiece. I have other Pagani Design watches, but none of them have the great feeling bezel action this one does. And none of them feel as well put together and expensive as this one.The bracelet is also quite nice. It's thick and heavy and the clasp is perfect. I have heard complaints that the links aren't well finished in between, and it's true that it's a little rough in there, but on my wrist this is invisible and doesn't matter at all.The movement in my copy is also excellent, averaging under +10 seconds a day. It's really closer to 4 or 5 seconds a day on the wrist. I have included a shot of the watch on my timegrapher. You can see the beat error isn't perfect, but it's well within specs, and +3 seconds a day for an NH35 is fantastic.About the only thing I don't like is the lume. I mean, the lume is there and it works fine, but it doesn't last as long as some of my other Chinese watches like ones from Steeldive and San Martin. So if you wake up at 3:00 a.m. and want to know the time, the glow will have mostly dissipated by then.I have to say, after getting a San Martin and comparing the quality to some of my other Pagani Design watches, I formed the opinion that I wouldn't be buying any more Paganis. But this watch has turned me around on that opinion. I have many inexpensive mechanical watches in this price range, but right now, this one is on my wrist most of the time.Oh, by the way, I took this into the swimming pool and swam with it all day. It held up fine. If you do this, just make sure the crown is screwed down well. Otherwise, you'll get a watch full of water.This watch is a keeper; I'm so glad I took a chance on it!
