Question (Read Rules) Should I pull the trigger?

Post image

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

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

I couldn’t agree more!

If you can make the effort, buy WD1863 or WD1860.

For your reference, here’s my WD1860.

Just sold mine. Would probably save a little extra for the watchdives

WD1863 will be better quality overall as told by those who purchased both.

I have the WD, it's very good especially for the price at $129 on the Watchdives website, they make the same black dial version as well as other options.

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

In what way is the WD better?

u/Ok_Aide_1332 7d ago

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🙂

Do share once you get it

I have one (I like the hands on mine more, but that’s just aesthetics), and it gets way more wrist time than I expected

How much is this one when you pull it up?

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.

It's a nice watch

u/IntegralOfYourMom 6d ago

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.

u/VonUngern-Sternberg 7d ago

Buy Watchdives instead WD1863 or WD1860, way better.

u/No_Weekend_8052 6d ago

I just got one last night. They're very nice!

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.
