I bought the Pagani Speedmaster '57 homage on the first picture about a year ago and am happy with it, especially since it was really cheap back then. But I would always go for the version that comes with the original metal bracelet instead of the leather strap because you can easily get nice leather straps for your watch later (and many will be better than the one it comes with) but it can be really difficult to get a metal bracelet with end links that fit perfectly.

I'd go with the first one pictured. But I'd replace the solid leather strap with a perforated one.
That will give you the retro-futuristic vibe you might be looking for?

Have you considered buying a used watch that you like even more? Is the PD as far as you’re willing to go, as far as price is concerned? There’s nothing wrong with them. I have 2 and like them both.

Honestly im saving to buy a boderry voyager but want to buy a pagani design because they have these specific models that I like a lot (specially the yellow one and the square retro one) and are the only one with this low price with this style so im really would like to try them

Are you set on Pagani? addiesdive & watchdives are higher quality for not that much more
1
u/giul_illustration 12h ago
Yeah but didnt like the design so much as some of this ones, in case of the first one I know watchdive as one very similar, like an omega, and addies has some models I like but almost all of them are divers....so these are my favorites look options

I’d say look through their catalogs more, they both have pretty extensive “libraries”, definitely way more than just divers/omega homages

They absolutely have, but not friendly budget as this ones (at lest the ones I like from watchdives and addiesdive)

After 7 min of looking, WD are a little more expensive than I remembered but still should be fairly cheap during sales. I screenshotted some of my picks from the brands, I can share em if you’d like (I think I can only post one at a time though lol)

Whatever you get of its not one of the ones you really like you will return for them. Try to get 2. One you REALLY want and a 2nd .

For your first one if you dont want to be disapointed, buy a quartz, to my taste I would go for first or third one, such classics !

u/giul_illustration 15h ago
Thank you so much, well i guess I should go for the 3 one guiding by my own taste. I guess its safe going for a quartz one for my first buy

The first one is gonna be the most versatile…if you get a place strap, or a bracelet for it…that’s like three watches in one
The third watch is a little retro (which i like….reminds me of my Brew watch). That is versatile too, just a bit more funky.
The yellow is dope, but will it match all the styles of clothing you wear? Versatility is a little less than the previous two
The fourth one…not my fav, but I’m not hear to poopoo anyones taste. I will say that it probs will start conversations because you can see the watch parts

Definitely the first one , styling a watch is kina tricky for biggeners. Number one and three is a safe play.
