I picked up the Air King PD-1632 for $57.58 on sale, and I love it. The dial finish is fantastic, it wears great, the bracelet is amazing for that price. The clasp is good except for the micro adjust as we all know with Pagani. Thank you for a great video!

Nice, Glad I could help you make an informed decision. it really is one of pagani's better offerings this year. the PD1690 gave them a solid base platform to work with...their Oyster perpetuals, Airkings, explorers, and milgauss are all great watches for the money.

Looks pretty good, the lume needs attention as it fades pretty quick, but this is one of Pagani's achiles hills on many of their watches. The bracelet could be better if they would use female end links, it would help the fit of the watch on more smaller wrist sizes. Otherwise a nice piece, and also a nice review. Keep up the great work!

Would you recommend the Pagani PD1692 or the Cronos L6016? I like the logo of the Pagani (The Cronos logo isnt as sleek) but every time I've seem a picture of a pagani or any other Homage for that matter the Chapter ring looks way taller. Too much depth in from the crystal and the case. Would you say the Cronos has a shorter distance or in person, they're relatively the same?

It would be better if it has longer second hand extending to the edge of the dial like san martin watch. Minute and hour hand length is good. Every Pagani watches has short second hand than san martin. I wonder why Pagani doesn't recognize it every time. Longer second hand makes more sweeping hand effect. I like it.
