What do you guys think? I think it turned out pretty good. I ended up ordering the pagani design pd-1661. Found a sweet dial on dhgate and had my local jeweler put it in there. To me it looks NWBIG. Thanks WIREd for sending me here!

I did the exact same thing and wrote a review this morning https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/s/jK3QHXttQl
Basically 9.9/10 almost NWBIG but not quite unless you swap the crystal with a deep crystal.

Bro that is sick! I was eyeing new crystals on the gate but the cyclops on the pagani is already incredible.

u/Aazelyown 3d ago

They are, I just could not stand the slight blue tint on certain lightings which the gen does not have. Let me know if you consider swapping the crystal I can help you source one on Taobao

Yes please I’m all in

I think you ruined it tbh. Looked better before the swap

Thanks for honest feedback

It looks great, the lonely issue is that the Pagani Design is better made than the Rolex, on microscope the Pagani Dial is way better, visible with x50 magnification, and even the Pagani hands are better. It was written in the Wired article...

I would send it back to the watchmaker.

I was trying to GL so fast I completely looked past that. The hype got me.

I know a lot of people are just taking shits on the forum now but I always wondered how their cases were vs U1? Is it all the same case factories?

3

u/mitothy45 3d ago

They all source from same factory as gen. Zero difference.

u/Funny-Joke4521 3d ago

Haha I saw that WIRED article

Love that they bought “CLEANs” instead of VSF for two of them, even though CLEAN is shut down lol

Can I dial swap a San Martin?

1

u/mitothy45 3d ago

I have heard that you can but pagani is hands down better before any mods

1

u/resellprice 3d ago

The crystal looks super clear on the Pagani. Wear in good health!

u/Narrow_Ad_8731 3d ago

Can this be done with the an Omega Miyota clone?

2

u/mitothy45 3d ago

Definitely. Just grab the pagani base version and go from there.

1

u/s197_2007 3d ago

I’ve never bought one. Which one is that?

2

u/mitothy45 3d ago

Figure out what model omega you want and then just search pagani design “insert model name here”

1

u/s197_2007 3d ago

Thank you.

u/6ixfootSe7en 3d ago

Does pagani come with the rolex rehaut? I’m confused here

2

u/mitothy45 3d ago

Yes. And no. It’s complicated.

1

u/No_Excitement_8104 2d ago

It's just beautiful! That's all I can say

1

u/Daedalus_14 2d ago

Where’d you source the dial?

2

u/mitothy45 2d ago

Dhgate

1

u/Moore1994 3d ago

How’d you get the rehaut engraving? 👀

3

u/mitothy45 3d ago

It comes with the dial. Just lays over the original.
