Owners widely report sharp case edges on the Pagani Design PD-1671 V2, with some noting burrs that fray straps and a bezel that can be sloppy or rough. The embossed dial is described as appearing cheap up close, and the sapphire crystal lacks anti-reflective coating. One owner found their bezel surprisingly nice, and another praised the bracelet quality for the price. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner regulating their movement to +1 second per day after modifications. On balance, owners find the Pagani Design PD-1671 V2 to be a watch that requires modification to reach its potential, with sharp edges and dial finishing being common criticisms.
The Pagani Design PD-1671 V2's bezel action is smooth and has a satisfying click. Its design is improved and nicer than the standard models, but some buyers may be concerned about early dimension discrepancies. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one suggesting it may not be worth nearly double the price of standard models.
