Pagani Design pd-1685 Continuous Testing

Alright who is up for some fun? So picked up this pagani seamaster knock off to see if I would really like the look of a seamaster on wrist.

This one has the miyota movement and is rated to 200 meter water resist. It arrived from the far eat vis ebay on September 30th.

Upon arrival I noticed the crown/winding action is not very good as it is rough and has random felt “clicks” but none the less I wound it and wore it.

Time keeping seems okay with its non-hacking movement. I wore it for a few days then took it off. Yesterday put it back on and did some mowing of the lawn on our riding mower. When done I noticed the lume pip was missing.

So here we have a new watch with not so good crown action and a missing lume pip from just riding on a mower.

My thought now is to see what this watch can handle, think of it like an on going test of pagani design reliabilty.

So lets have some ideas as to what the watch should go through. Lets make this fun. 🙂 I am doing this because I would not feel comfortable selling a watch like this to anyone and I do not want to even attempt to send this thing back, also just plain curiosity.

So lets have the ideas!

Bubba Blue: "Anyway, like I was sayin', Pagani is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Pagani-kabobs, Pagani creole, Pagani gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried."

People are always wondering how physical activity affects time keeping, but don't want to test it out on their collection watches, so it'd be good to test it on a true beater before it gets beaten in further, more extensive trials.

Here's a quick and simple one to do before anything drastic: put it on, measure accuracy, then jump rope 100 times (or do 100 jumping jacks), then take it off and see how much accuracy has changed as a result of those 100 jumps/rotations.

Maybe see how much it changes precision too.
