Patek Pagani - Doesnt Matter!!!

Love the dial. Enjoy!

You make a solid argument and I have to agree! Love the colour!

That is NICE! 💚

"But Im still trying to be convinced that Patek is actually 2000 times better than this Pagani because its 2000 times more expensive" - 💯. Like trying to argue that an elite college gives you an education that is TWENTY TIMES better than a state school's.

Enjoy!

The case shape is more reminiscent of a Piaget Polo S.

Pagani Piaget

Like trying to argue a Warhol poster is worth the same as Warhol print.

Well for someone who can definitely not have an original Warhol i wouldn't mind anyone using a Warhol print as long as he isnt trying to pretend its an actual original Warhol - Watch snobbery is one thing I try to run away from because its quite deadly and contagious

Honestly? It looks great. It doesn’t even look like a homage or Chinese watch. Looks like it has its own identity. Enjoy!

It’s not that it’s 2000x better almost nothing is. But it’s the pride and sense of accomplishment you get from buying the real thing and putting it on daily is a reminder of what it took to get there. But a PD is just trying to emulate another’s design. The cheapest of any item will always be the “best value”. I’ve been in both places so no judgement just my 2 cents.

It’s a good point. Obviously the actual Patek is superior, but 2000x better is way out of line. Unless we’re talking precious metals on a given model, the delta is just too far out of whack to pay over the moon for a brand name and more refined movement.

Buy what you love, wear what you buy. Great choice mate, you’re rocking it!

I like 😍

Disagree. There are people saying “my taste is better than yours”. Those are the snobs.

If a person hung up a Warhol print because they like the way it looks, good for them! I grew up with a giant banana in my living room. If I had the room, I’d like another because of what it means to me.

But I wouldnt go posting on an art sites asking why my print should be less than the something produced by the original artist.

Back to the watch this piece looks more like a Piaget Polo than a Patek to me BTW

Yep, I have never seen videos of a luxury car with mounted weapons on it, fighting. But a Toyota, thats another thing

No, it looks like an exact copy.

I can see you really like it - lol

Come on guys, what mere mortals among us would ever get close to holding a Patel in our hands. It just isn’t going to happen for most of us. Heck most of us will never hold own a Rolex now.

Buying and wearing a homage to a luxury brand is as close as many of us will get to these items in today world economy. Plus after spending some serious money on a few of these luxury watches like my Omega Speedmaster and Tudor to name a few, I’m not sure my buyers remorse isn’t warranted. These are great watches but if you don’t have the extra cash laying around then you can’t play in the luxury game and you would be hesitant to ask your local jeweler to let you finger one of pretty Patek’s or Rolexes.

Can you image the reception you would get from one those guys.

Heck many of you talk about the ill treatment you get from these Dealers when do have the resources to buy a luxury item.

It a Homage gets you there then why not.

Peace

Enjoy your watch! Ignore haters, haters gonna hate 😎

I am not allow even into a Rolex AD.

Lol - thanks - I am enjoying more because many of them havent yet seen my collection on my page - none of my rolex, cartiers or omega - but its interesting to see how this community suddenly starts defending brands they may never own and yet there is this strange sense of snobbery )))))

I think some ppl feel threatened by good made homages. Like you said, is the original 2000 times better or is just the marketing? Why a homage that is 2000 times cheaper is well made? An "the emperor has no clothes" moment for some, so they react with passive agressive snobbery

Exactly - Actually once u have a few so-called "expensive brands" and you take it out of your system to get a once-grail watch u realize this hobby is so much more deeper and fun if u just look for well made beautiful watches regardless of price points - as long as u can get them - as long as they are not "fake replicas pretending to be a certain brand" its so much more interesting to find some amazing homages of watches that are almost out of reach or frankly so overpriced that even if u had that money u wud be better off buying something different as there are better choices at that price point

For true collectors is about the actual watches: some are expensive, some are cheap. Some affordable watches are not homages and are dismissed by snobs. Like all the jokes about Tudor beign the "poor man's Rolex" or about Grand Seiko beign just expensive Seikos. No one is safe from snobs! But we should just ignore them, buy what we can afford and enjoy the hobby. 😎

Awesome dial Sam!!

thanks bud

The problem lies in the fact this is not a homage but a blatant copy, period. I won't comment on this watch quality ( I assume it is great for the money ), who buys them and if the original is objectively so much better as I never held one and don't know who/what defines the "value" factor ( f.i. one labour hour from Patek watchmaker is more expensive than FRP of this watch - is he also grosly overpaid? ). I also don't judge people who buy them or who despise them, they both can have their oppinion and to each their own. None should feel offended by others oppinion and if they are it shows their own insecurity problems.

But what I do despise is the blatant copy economy and people saying it is not a problem. People quickly forget how much resources ( time, money, knowledge, marketing ... ) and effort were invested for this watch to begin with and for their benefit someone simply stealing the whole design is ok.

Put yourself in that perspective - you invested your sweat, blood and tears into certain product, it becomes sucessfull after 10 years of hard work and next day you have cheap ripoffs on AliX/Ebay... for 1/100 of the price with people commenting your product is not worth the price. I bet my right arm the narrative of that person would change in a heart beat. The fact Patek can afford not to bother with these clones is irrelevant in grand scheme and imagine the world where we all apply this "copy not an issue" mentality on all aspects of life.

Otherwise @GodTierHere enjoy the watch if you like it and don't get offended by other people oppinion - gatekeeping or not.

Well yes I'd agree: there are those with money to burn (or getting into debt); flexing, lapping-up and basking in the pathetic glory and daily fix of fawning WC adulation. The news is, that a new expensive watch every day is not a measure of one's character, it's just a shallow ego boost. Any fool with 200K can blow it on a watch - that really doesn't take much talent.
