Pagani Design PD-1764

The Pagani Design PD-1764's dial closely resembles an original Rolex Oyster Perpetual, making it almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The watch features smooth and precise bezel action. The case finishing is very well done, with a nice satin finish that's not too shiny and not too dull. The watch's price point is relatively high compared to other similar homages on the market. The lume is not very bright, which might be a drawback for those who want a easy to read in low-light conditions.
