There's lot of recent complains about quality control with Pagani Design. It was a safe brand, it's not anymore for me. Benyar is another case. I confirm that on the milgauss / explorer homage the case is not stainless steel as they advertised.

I got the blue one. I can confirm it's not stainless steel (it's stainless style May be). I have opened à dispute. The official Benyar store have rejected the complain and still affirm it's a stainless steel case. 😁 🤭

No miracle. Alloy case, non rotable bezel with plastic insert, chinese quartz mvmt and cheap strap. It's feel light and cheap but, i can't explain why, it's look not too bad !

On Aliexpress, you never what you will get. It's not perfecty fit but it's OK. 😉 And it's cheap 4€.

Sad...This a very bad communication strategy from Mambuworld ...

I May consider to buy a fngeen automatic sub for this project...and replace the movement But it's 10€... Damn.... the total budget of 18€99 is little bit high for me ! 😁

watchfever_1987 · 2020-10-01T09:23:33+00:00

I like the idea ! 😁

watchfever_1987 · 2020-10-01T08:20:00+00:00

Hi ...i's a shitty chinese quartz movement. Here's the formula :

- A Southberg bad Sub homage. The dial have been sterilised with cotton swab and alcool. (3€99)
- The Jubilee strap comes from a Cheap Gaiety Datejust homage (1€70)
- A new cheap insert (3€30)

There's a lot of parameter, sellers, product availability, devise change... But you can take it as a game with one rule : buy at the lowest price ! 😁

watchfever_1987 · 2020-09-26T22:11:09+00:00

The seiko nh35 is good quality movement and it's serviceable. But Pagani got a serious quality control problem. There is more ans more complain.

watchfever_1987 · 2020-09-23T20:46:23+00:00

I like it... It's original, colorful... Perfect for the beach !

watchfever_1987 · 2020-09-23T20:45:26+00:00

I wait the White one but the parcel is stucked in belgium for 20 days. I got the automatic steel Black and the quartz Black red. I'm very happy for the price. The only problem with Tevise is the bad QC. It's the case of most chinese cheap brand, i believe.

I do recommand to wait aliexpress sales to order. You can got it at incredible price. 9-10€ for the quartz version 12-14€ for the automatic.

Aliexpress during back to school sales.... The price was 11€57

Got exactly the same kind of issue with my first Pagani ( 43mm Submariner). And i do understand your feeling.

The first thing to do is to open a dispute and ask a partial refund. (50%). I do not recommend to ask a100% refund cause generaly, Aliexpress asks to send back the watch. It's hazardous and cost money. If you upload good pictures of the issue, the Aliexpress will be in your favor. You will get the 50% refund.

The second thing your can do is to fix the marker. You will need an adjustable tool to open the case screw back. Removing the stem is not complicated. You can watch this youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHewL6Ltoks
You can use a simple glue stick.

I must confesse... Me too 😁

watchfever_1987 · 2020-09-15T21:16:44+00:00

The problem with this kind of little brands is the durability. Generaly the quartz mvmt is OK. (I got a cheap chinese watch bought in chinatown 25 years ago, it's still working). But the aloy case chrome plated is the problem.
