Not a Speedy... but close enough!
As a lifelong spacegeek, I've wanted an Omega Speedmaster since I was a kid. Figured "someday." Well, it's still hard to justify spending $5K+ on a watch. When the Moonswatch came out last month, I figured I'd get one of those, but of course they are sold out. Stumbled on this one while searching, read the reviews, and decided to give it a shot.First of, it does NOT look like a $110 watch. The tachymeter is just beautiful. And while I wish it had better lume and brighter dial markings (mine is not nearly as bright as the one in the photo), who cares -- it keeps amazing time, looks great, and will probably last forever. Pagani even includes a little bracelet adjustment tool. For my average-sized wrist (that's mine in the photo, taken while writing this review!), I had to take out three links.My only gripe -- and this is minor -- is that the protective plastic film on the crown and the pushers was very difficult to get off. While the rest of the protectors just peeled right off, these appeared to bonded pretty tightly. I was able to scrape off some the blue gunk, but a lot remained embedded in the crown's etching. Finally I used the sticky side of some blue painter's tape, which removed the material.Maybe some day I'll buy the real thing. Until then, this will do.

Inexpensive Watch That Doesn't Look It
I have 6 watches, some costing over $5,000, and this is one of my favorites. Good looking replica of an Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch. Some slight differences but I have had watch savvy friends fooled by it. Only watch I have seen with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal at around the $100 price point. Other watches I have purchased in this price range had an acrylic crystal which was badly scratched within a year. Good Japanese quartz movement results in excellent accuracy. I highly recommend this watch.

Quality watch
This is my second Pagani. I have the "Pepsi" GMT homage as well. One of these days I'll buy a real "Speedy" but for now, this one scratches the itch. It has a ceramic bezel and Seiko quartz movement. The sub dials are recessed like the real "Speedy" ableit different. I wish all the hands were solid white but it's not a deal-breaker for the price. The bracelet is quality and wasn't that hard to adjust. Pagani even provides a tool to remove the links. This watch is priced way below its quality. I highly recommend it!

A More Intellegent Buy...
Why get a plastic Moonswatch because of all the hype? Plastic Crystal and plastic composite case. It's a Swatch with it's Omega name on it. $260 and people are paying 2-3 times the price to get a piece of the hype.The 1701 V3 includes:Sapphire crystalJapanese Macaquartz movementLooks more like the Omega Moonwatch for thousands less than the plastic Moonswatch.

Build quality
It's luck of the draw with these watches.When you spend this little cash to get this much watch, you're not going to get very good quality control.All 4 of my Pagani designs have misalignments and sharp edges, even after getting replacement models.But I'll keep buying them because of the value.

Very nicely done homage.
Very well put together for the price. The bracelet is it's weakest part, but I swapped it for a $17 BINLUN Silicone Band with butterfly buckle.

Disappointed across the board
First off, shipping was terrible. It took longer than scheduled, and tracking was next to impossible. When I actually received the watch, I was very happy with how it looked. Three days into owning it the top chronograph pusher fell off. Benyar wanted me to take it to watchmaker and they would refund a portion of my money. Obviously that didn’t happen and I wanted to return the watch for a refund. Even when Amazon approved the return Benyar would not send me a shipping label. Highly disappointed with literally every part of the process with Benyar. BUYER BEWARE
