Here is a neat looking watch with vaguely Seiko Presage vibes to it, but with a date subdial. Price dips under the current coupon code qualifications, but it's a nice thing for less than $50. Sold by Pagani Design Choice store with good feedback shown.
40mm case diameter
11mm thickness
Hard coated glass
Seiko VH65 Mechaquartz
100m WR claimed (dubious, see review)
Quantities at time of posting, blue: 12, black: 29, white: 21
So that's good it looks 😔
I was hoping for Pagani Huayra or Zonda at this price!
Would have look a lot cleaner without that date ring. I still think its better to spend 20$ more to get similar ones on aliexpress with sapphire crystal
Needs an AR coating too. The review photos look horrible compared to the carefully produced product shots.
Agree, date ring kills it for me. Might of given it a run otherwise
actually its a Rolex Cellini Homage

THis model is even closer:

Wow thanks for sharing, I didn't even know of that Rolex.
The dearer one is certainly closer, even coin ridging around the bezel. Don't see the point of it on a dress watch if the bezel doesn't rotate, but it looks interesting!
@ColonialBoy: It's really nice, but having watched the review, the short lugs/curved springbars are mentioned as a potential deal breaker. It limits band options. One of the comments reckons silicone works for theirs, but can you imagine? Nato maybe, but I'm not a fan and it would dress it down too much.
Plan to use my SD-1970 steel bracelet with (yet to find) new end links on the cheaper Pagani. I'll probably test without end links and decide there's not enough contrast or something.
Have you got any recommendations? Would appreciate it.
This is a similar design from Pagani, same movement but with sapphire crystal, screw caseback and claimed 200m WR.

This PD-1689 is ~44USD (~$78 incl GST) depending on colour choice.
Prefer the cheaper one, personally.
not trying to sound like an a-hole - but yes, as the title states
Sorry! Groggy Saturday
haha you're good. same tbh
IMHuO, the rose gold and white dial is the smartest, and would suit as a cheap evening knockabout dresser for the pub or restaurant with the missus.
Wearing this would definitely dress up the Lowes suit.
This watch looks nice but definitely worth getting upgrade on specs for this one shared by speckled jim ~$78 https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005928914684.html
The blue dial version sold out yesterday. There's another seller who has 50+ at the moment for ~$46 AUD. A $5 discount coupon is applied and after GST it's just over $45 delivered.

They also have black/gold.
pa gan i
Mine arrived today. Because I finally decided on blue too late, I had to use that other seller ^^ and it came from Singapore.
First Pagani order, and it's very nice!
I plan to sling a Steeldive oyster steel bracelet on the Pagani, once some end links arrive. Not a perfect match (polished case/brushed bracelet) but I'm not fussed, it's essentially a free mod.
Did a couple of edits, store has model listed as PD-1645 but it's actually PD-1654 per official site.
