This is a bit of fun, and it is about as low as I remember it being. Cheaper than during 11.11 or BF prices.
I used code BF8 to bring the price down, it took off $9.15 for me. No guarantees it will work for you. Plus $1.56 in AliX coins and that's how I arrived at the final price.
You get the usual AliX watch specs:
- NH35 auto movement
- sapphire crystal (no AR coating)
- 100m WR, not that you'd ever go diving with this. Take your chances swimming.
I have the orange version and it's not too bad at all, it looks good on the wrist.
It isn't perfect, of course. The bezel on mine has a little bit of play, although it doesn't bother me. Other reviews have reported a rock solid bezel so it is a roll of the dice how good yours might be. The strap material is also a bit stiff. It doesn't feel too bad on my wrist, and it is part of the look of the watch, so I'm sticking with it. There are plenty of lookalike alternatives on AliX if you want to swap, and the lug width is a standard 20mm so your options are endless.
Also, the coloured ring on the crown isn't canon. On mine the ring is coloured orange to match the watch so it was a deliberate design choice of Pagani. I'm not only fine with it, I prefer it being there.
All in all, for under 80 bucks delivered you really can't go wrong. For the price, it's great.
The seller is legit, despite the slightly dodge name. I and many others have bought from them before with no issues. I haven't had to deal with any problems or returns, but like any AliX purchase you pays your money and you takes your chances.
If you prefer the regular Seamaster look, they can be had for just over $80, which is also a great price:

And one more, the Addiesdive "Salt Pan" Willard, also under $80. I can think of no reason why you wouldn't get this one. It makes a good change from the usual SD1970.

So it's a Pagani designed but some other dodgy company copying and selling it cheap on AliExpress?
A genuine fake?
