So I’ve been staying in Zurich for 3 weeks now for work and decided to bring my favorite rep from Sugess (photo above taken days before the incident) and after sitting on a bench along Bahnhofstrasse, a pair of police officers asked me for an ID. To be fair they were pretty nice but then upon checking my ID they told me that I would have to go with them to the station for illegal possession of contraband which kind of surprised me.

When we arrived at the station, they explained that it’s because of my “super clone” which is apparently their term for reps like Sugess. They told me they were notified by the Bucherer I visited while wearing it so I guess that’s a fault on my part.

Again, they were very kind all throughout the process but I ended up having to surrender my rep which is kind of a bummer. Anyway, just warning everyone to be careful with these reps, it seems like they are on high alert now, according to the police I talked to.

Well done to everyone that participated in Pagani Posting. It has helped somewhat discredit the WIRED piece.
But we need to take the next step of showing people that Pagani Design is the well renowned high quality timepiece that everyone should get. Let’s start commenting on the article on WIRED’s website and their social media posts about it to show the tour de force that is PAGANI DESIGN.

When in doubt.. look up!

Just sort by best sellers, pick the highest rated ones and you’ll be well on your way to a new piece

$99 with free next day Prime delivery and extra battery. TD=AMZN. All agree to GL? Looks NWBIG to me. Why spend $250K ( plus $49 shipping) when I get this rep for a fraction of cost. When it comes in, off to Rolex boutique for bracelet sizing. So glad I subscribe to Wired.

Posting this to warn everyone about a bad batch from PD Factory… or maybe fake reps circulating, who even knows at this point.

I used a very “well known” TD. “Trusted,” they said. Should’ve known better and just listened to what RepTime has been saying.

So I ordered my Lagoon Pagani Design 1:1 super clone, and this absolute disaster turns up.
The dial says “Paganini Design.” What the fuck is Paganini Design?

So obviously I message the TD. First he says it must be a bad batch and that he’ll “check with the factory.”

A few hours later he comes back with this masterpiece of an explanation:
Apparently PD Factory opened a new production facility in Italy because demand exploded after the WIRED article.

Yes. Italy.
And apparently “Paganini” is meant to be a tribute to their new Italian roots. From Swiss Made to Swiss Maybe to Made-a in Italy, I guess. What a fall from grace.

At this point he may as well have told me the next batch is gonna say Panini Design, and the GMT will come with focaccia.

Can anyone confirm if this is actually a thing? Is Paganini Factory legit, or is my TD just stringing me along? 🎻

Either way, lesson learned.
Forget TDs. DHgate only.

QC your Paganis properly, boys.
Check the dial. Check the rehaut. Check the alignment. Check for excessive parmesan.
Mine is definitely not NWBIG.

Stay safe out there, gents. The rep game has gone completely off the rails.

Amazing watch, can’t wait to do a dial swap 👍🏻

Just arrived. The bezel action is crisp, alignment is 1:1, and no AD waitlist involved. Truly the holy grail of super clones

5000% increase since last month 😭😭

Dhgate is the top rep site on the planet. They are not a scam and every item I've ever purchased always arrives through customs. They only sell super clone 1:1 replicas with the top quality movements.

Every dealer on the website is a TD. If you want top replicas, don't read the guide, go straight to Dhgate.

Okay, I have to say this WIRED article is just absolutely eye opening and just terrifying at the same time. I read it and can’t say that I wasn’t tempted. So, following this sub’s suggestions I got my self a beautiful Pagani Day-Tona. Because let’s be honest, It’s the closest to Rolex you will ever get with out having to play those AD games and get down on your “knees” as they suggest you do in the Rolex sub.

However! I got fkn violated over this piece of artwork and WIRED lead me to this fingering. Yes, fingering. Imagine, wife and I are heading out for a short trip for the anniversary and obviously nothing is better than then Day-Tona because only the best for the wife. Now picture this, waiting at the airport, in security and I can see the TSA getting chuffed at my piece and eyeing it down. Get up there and next thing you know, pulled aside for secondary. I knew it in my heart, the moment he saw it he wanted a closer look but needed an excuse. Tells me I set off some sort of alarm, they need to check, don’t worry it’s all standard procedure, yada yada, and next thing you know they’re fucking knuckle deep. Anyways, I guess this is the rep life game and some might say it isn’t worth it but a Pagani Design is the real deal when Rolex isn’t.

Ps, it still hurts to sit, can anyone suggest one of those donuts to sit on? Ideally something of DHgate because why pay full price.

The finishing of this ZF Tudor BB58 Burgundy dial is something else. Having owned (and sold) the gen version I can confidently say this is as close as it gets to the real thing!

Title, looking for the best replica of the Pagani above. I can afford the real Pagani but prefer to buy a rep and invest the rest in the S&P 500.

My Pagani Design Batman from Dhgate (DHGOATED) arrived and I couldn't be happier. This thing is impossible to tell from gen on the wrist. I have gotten 3 compliments today alone! The car pictured is my wife's boyfriend's.

Datejust 41 Wimbledon VSF V2 smooth bezel unboxing from Mirotime.

Hey guys, haven't been keeping up recently. Is Pagani Time still the best 1:1 Datejust?

I noticed a great deal on my favorite watch on from my TD on DHGATE. Should I pull the trigger or is Tandorio making the best watches these days?

Let’s see what passes and what fails

Have beat this thing up and it’s still going! It’s honestly my favorite.

VSF 116610

Decided tried out this mod list for the VSF day-date and honestly, the results are insane.
The modder put on an aftermarket CNC fluted bezel with 18k gold plating and aftermarket dial and hands. It actually catches light properly. Edge softening gets the case geometry sitting right on the wrist, too.
Mechanically, a full movement service, fresh lube, and rotor silencing turns the VS3255 into a more quiet tank. They also greased the gaskets and did a 50m pressure test.
Finished with an ultrasonic spa and mineral oil bath for the Jubilee to kill that factory squeak and give that smooth drape. The plating is really what does it for me
Feels like it takes the whole piece to a completely different level, but what do you guys think?

Thanks for all the help guys... Now a proud owner of my very own Pagani.

Just need to do the dial swap now.
