Incredible value, high-quality homage with minor bugs
I purchased this watch after returning a Sturhling Pepsi GMT homage I ordered on amazon for ~$80. In this price range, I don't think anything on Amazon is going to top Pagani. I had been drooling over more expensive Pepsi GMT homages for months (Steinhart in particular), but I'm extremely glad I went with this one. The watch feels amazing and looks great. Sapphire crystal, solid end links, great attention to detail and the bezel is as crisp as they come. The fact that it's an automatic mechanical watch WITH a display caseback (which also looks fantastic) sends it over the top. Pros and cons below, but I would highly recommend this watch to anyone (I also have a Pagani Daytona and was similarly impressed with the quality, though that one has a quartz movement and I'm less jazzed about that).Pros:- Sapphire Crystal is highly scratch resistant and looks great, cyclops magnification is good (but perhaps TOO good, it's a bit hard to focus)- bracelet is extremely comfortable and comes with crew-in end links for easy removal (this is a premium feature not usually seen in this price range).- Styling and colors are spot-on and really pop- Bezel is very crisp to rotate and feels solid (metal inert for the Pepsi bezel, not ceramic, but it looks better than the ceramic bezel i had handy so i kept the stock one)- Bracelet comes with a divers extension, which allows you to quickly make the watch slightly larger/smaller, but mostly is just cool.- It gives you the pride of a beautiful, functional timepiece on your wrist that costs less than your car, but that is also not pretending to be an authentic Rolex. Homages are a hot-button issue, but every watch manufacturer borrows in some way from their competitors and in my mind, I'd rather get 80% of the real thing for 0.6% of the price any day. This is a watch to be lived in and enjoyed.Cons:- The crown is slightly larger than pictured in the product listing (similar to vintage GMTs from what I'm told) and it does stick out a bit.- The action while changing the time is a bit loose (i.e. you have to turn the crown about 1/4 turn before the hands start moving), which may be a manufacturers defect, but I can't say for sure if it's a one-off or not. It's probably a loose gear in the movement, but it doesn't really bother me that much.- The jubilee bracelet is large (which is common for that style) and i had to remove every single removable link and do micro adjustments on the clasp in order to get a good fit on my 6.5 inch wrists (which required a pin to release the spring clasp and a small screwdriver for the links). But the divers extension makes quick adjustments easy as well, and you can always just leave it open/closed if needed.- The GMT wheel is a unidirectional, submariner-style 120-click bezel rather than the proper bidirectional GMT bezel, but this is completely understandable given the price (bidirectional bezels are much more expensive to manufacture), but this is a minor inconvenience when changing the bezel (which I do to track GMT time).- The divers extension was a bit stiff to open/close when i first got itOverall, would definitely recommend this watch!

A superb homage to a modern classic...
When I look for an homage watch, I am pretty picky about how close it gets to the 'real thing' without overstepping the line into an obvious 'fake'. Well - this is a FANTASTIC - dare I say THE BEST homage to the 'real thing' that we all know and love. The case, crystal, ceramic bezel (yes - ceramic!), and the jubilee band are extremely well done. I have found that a proper, substantial-feeling Jubilee band is something that most homage watch makers skimp on - not Pagani. The taper is dead-on as well. The clasp, slide lock, and diver exension are superbly well done, and weight-wise this entire piece feels very close to the GMT it approximates. The only part of this watch I will express skepticism about is the Chinese-made Pearl GMT movement, simply because I have no experience with one prior to owning this piece. I've read lots of good and bad things, and I feel a lot of it depends on how hard you are on the watch. So far, it has kept extremely accurate time and seems to be well regulated and lubricated. For an automatic GMT at this price point, if it stays reliable, it's going to be hard to beat this one.

Good watch, but no QA to details
Beautiful watch. Even nicer in person than online. But 2 issues dampened my excitement. First the bracket was installed backwards. When worn properly the watch was upside down. Luckily I'm a 30+ year collector of dive watches. So changing and correctly reinstalling the bracelet was not a big deal.But the second issue was bigger. After winding, ad an automatic movement watch it needed to be shaken or "moved" enough to allow the watch to accrue enough power to continue running. But the watch continued to run slow losing 10-15 minutes every 30 minutes or so.Again my past experience changing watch batteries helped me trouble shoot the problem.As a dive watch this watch had a screw down crown to help ensure its water tight integrity. So only winding the crown the first rotation or so allowed the movement to run properly and consequently keep proper/accurate time.The cause of this issue is due to the lack of accurately manufactured sized movement and / or assembly to allow for enough room inside the watch case to have the crown to be screwed down and for the movement to freely operate without issues.In closing, this is a nice looking watch and for the price a good value. Just be aware that at this price point, this manufacturer doesn't have the quality assurance standards to ensure these types of problems are caught. Or to manufacture watch components that are as reliable as higher end timepieces. But instead of paying thousands of dollars, this reasonable watch does come close to breaking the bank.Hope this helps. :)

Excellent quality, finish and accuracy
This is one of many clones of the Rolex submariner. This one one stands out for the excellent bracelet and flawless execution of the case, dial and hands. The bracelet has screw attached links and a well designed glide-lok clasp. The interface between the end links and the bracelet is clean. The dial, indices, hands and case leave nothing to be desired. And it’s crazy accurate…set it once when I got it three weeks ago, and it hasn’t gained more than 15 seconds. Exceeds my expectations.

Great overall, but awful bezel quality control
Loved the watch and really wished I could have kept it. However, after THREE replacements all with pretty bad bezel misalignments and defects (Pepsi), I just didn't have the patience to request another or simply look for a replacement bezel insert myself.It really is a shame because this really is a fantastic value and probably the best looking Rolex GMT homage around.PSA: Despite looking like regular push pins, the pins on the bracelet links ARE SCREWS! I say this because it doesn't appear to be specified anywhere and I saw a 1-star review of a dude who managed to ruin both his tools and bracelet hammering away at these things -_-

La maquinaria resultó ser buena por qué no tiene tanto desfase, aunque la reseña no dice cuál es
Lamentablemente la complicación de gmt no es nada útil ya que aunque aparentemente avanza en realidad en menos de una hora ya está muy atrasado pero sus acabos y colores son muy buenos

Amazing Value for your money
I've owned this watch for over a year now worn here and there... about 2 weeks ago I put it on and haven't taken it off. The timing is shockingly still accurate. Quality is amazing for the price..sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel with an auto movement! Its a beautiful watch, sure it's basically a bootleg rolex but it's also thousands of times less. I'm impressed and would recommend you buy it as long as you don't expect it to be an actual Rolex or are overly picky.UPDATE: Going on over 2 years now, time still accurate.. still looks flawless and wearing it daily now over my Omega. The only downfall of this watch is some sharp edges on the clasp and some rough edges on the bezel. Not a deal breaker, I grinded down the edges on the clasp a bit, I wish they'd make an updated clasp with softer edges as many people have complained about this.

Optik und Verarbeitung sind wirklich gut. Bedienung und Einstellen der Uhr, insbesondere des Datums, haben noch Luft nach oben!

Surprisingly good quality
Very pleased with this watch and so far after a weeks wear has lost just under a minute, which is pretty good for an automatic. I’ll see how it performs over a longer period, as you get what you pay for! However yes I recommend this watch for its looks and well made. It has all you need, ceramic bezel sapphire Crystal glass and so far very accurate. Nothing much else on the market offering these features for the price. Could be a £1000 watch!
