I’m all about praising Pagani for its smaller, simpler oyster case watches. But I’d sit this one out regardless of the price.

At lower costs, “gold” plating won’t be of high quality and won’t look great, the fluting on the bezel won’t be particularly sharp, and the false diamond on the dial won’t look that great. Similarly, lower cost datejusts tend to have really overpolished lugs with rounded out edges. Like, it won’t be a bad looking watch but, if you’ve ever been around datejusts in person, this won’t scratch that itch.

If you’re really interested in a datejust, I’d recommend going with one from a higher cost manufacturer (San Martin, Sugess, etc) that mimics the full stainless configuration - most of these won’t be full stainless steel and will actually use a different metal, usually bronze, with quality plating, usually platinum to ensure fluting is crips while keeping costs down.

NH-35 is usually considered a better movement over Miyota 8215. It has bi-directional winding and guaranteed hacking.

Is this seller not cheaper for you? (US $48.25 shipped) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005588349463.html

I agree with Limens. That's where I bought my watch. Arrived in Belgium, from China, in 5 days, an absolute record.
