Upgraded movement and more - a definite improvement!
I ordered the upgraded version of the 'Pepsi' PD-1662 recently after seeing it was updated with the new Seiko NH-34 GMT movement. The non-GMT *NH-35A* found in a lot of watches is a well-constructed workhorse of a moment, and the GMT variant on this architecture is definitely encouraging. I'm going to counter all the negative reviews and share that the one I received has been perfect right out of the box, kept flawless time on my winder for a week before I unwrapped and sized it, and has not lost or gained any significant amount of time in over 2 weeks of constant operation. The new style of lume on the hour markers and on the bezel is really pleasant, but it gives the watch an overall different look and feel than the old style 1662 with the Pearl GMT movement, which had different marker lume. Overall this upgraded version feel like a 'Maxi' style with improved visibility all around. Case and bracelet remain unchanged from the prior 1662 (which I also own). The GMT hand sets with a comforting, solid click, versus the 'loose' open-ended adjustment of the Pearl GMT movement. I'll continue to wear both of these watches in good faith, but as always, I trust the Seiko movement for long live moreso than the Chinese Pearl movement. That being said, all of the Pearl GMT movement-equipped watches I own have been running with no issues at all for over 2 years now. A lot of 'problems' people have are simply poor care or treatment of the watches I think. Buy with confidence.

Pagani GMT with NH34A movement
Update on my first review. Purchased the watch from Amazon received it a day early which was great. First review after taking the watch out of the box. It seemed that it had a small scratch at 12 o’clock on the ceramic basil turns out that it wasn’t a scratch Most likely glue. I’m not really sure what it was. first recommendation I would clean the watch thoroughly and then look it over. the basil wasn’t scratched movement works great no issues whatsoever watch is actually held up well while wearing in the shower no condensation noticed in the watch which could cause cloudiness behind the sapphire crystal. overall I could say many good things about the watch for the price point. I’m actually surprised the quality that you’re getting for a small price. I would definitely order one of these again.

I love the looks but it CAN'T keep time
The watch is beautiful, it has a 'sweep' second hand like a Rolex but it can't keep time. It loses several hours a day and when I reset, the hour hand is behind the time (if 3:10, the hour hand is still behind the 3:00 position) which makes it very hard to read. I don't know if I got a 'lemon' or if this is typical for the Japanese movement.

Nice Looking Watch! Not Great Execution.
It's a good looking watch, and it holds up fairly well during daily wear but it has some flaws. It requires a LOT of winding. Normal wearing of it (every day or every other day) does not always provide enough winding to it to retain time in the off hours.Secondly, and the more problematic concern is the screw pins that hold the bracelet together. They loosen up easily which causes the watch to fall of your wrist and the manufacturer will not help you with warranty if you don't buy it from them. I've had them loosen a couple of times. If you buy this, I would recommend removing each of the pins one at a time and applying thread locker to each of them for some piece of mind.Nice watch that seems to hold up

Where"s The Rose Gold Reviews ??
I just bought the Rose Gold model of this watch and it is keeping extremely accurate time ! I would love to know how others are doing with this same Homage to the Rolex Root Beer. All I see here is reviews for the Batman and Pepsi versions along with a few of the green Southpaw version thrown in. Thats fine, but aren't these reviews supposed to be for the Root Beer Homage?? I love this watch and would love to see the opinions of other folks who have purchased this same version. I give the watch a Five Star rating, but I would give whoever posted these reviews a one star for their selections.

Money = Value
Received the watch a day early, even after getting a notice that it was delayed a day. The “homage” style plays the part very very well. Colors are as described, all works as it should. The illumination was very well done, gathers light during the day for a good night time reading if needed. The watch feels great on the wrist, the bracelet is very tight and I had 0 issues sizing or with the extender next to the clasp. Very happy with it and will definitely order more with the same caliber movement.

Does not keep accurate time
Gains 15 seconds a day other than it is a very good looking watch. I paid extra because of the N34 movement because I wanted seiko accuracy. I will wear it but need to reset it every four days to keep within a minute accuracy Why did you pick this product vs others?:the Supposed N34 movement
