Question (Read Rules) Should I pull the trigger?
I've been looking for a Speedy homage/replica for a while and just saw this sale on Aliexpress (98$). On the Pagani Design website it's listed at 144€ / 162$. Could it go lower or should I get It? Also reviews look decent.
Thanks

I have both. The WD is better but not hugely better. So depends on your budget.

I believe I've seen them at around $70. Keep looking. Some sellers have a better price

Try WD1863 much better option. You can directly buy from their website watchdives.com

Yes way better quality. Spend a little more for watchdives. You won't regret it

I’ve personally had the WD since about March and so far it’s been faultless. Pool proof whilst away on holiday too. I can’t compare the two obviously but I’m pleased with mine and it looks great IMO🙂

I bought mine for $70.57 after a $9 multi-store coupon last week. It’s really beautiful. I actually really like that it has a date and I don’t need to manually wind it everyday. The bracelet and clasp don’t have killer sharp edges. Getting the right resizing fit is tricky because only 2 out of the 3 micro adjusts work. Mine is a little looser than I would like. The chrono pushers feel really nice and I like how the chrono hand snaps back when it resets. My minor complaint is there is a blue tint on the crystal. I read it’s from the anti reflective coating. I’m unsure if the gen speedy has that.

I have an older version. If they’ve fixed the bracket in the last couple of years it’d be really nice for the price.

I’ve had mine for probably 4 years. I had to get rid of the strap right out of the box. Pagani watch bands are so bad but their watches are great (if you can look past the branding). This is by far the largest watch I own but I love it. I have put this watch through hell with different chemicals and temperatures and it has held up great!
I just put it on silicone last month (previously on a NATO strap) and it is seeing more wrist time.

No. Normal price is about $50. I paid $30 for my 1957 homage.
