This is a bit of fun, and it is about as low as I remember it being. Cheaper than during 11.11 or BF prices.

I used code BF8 to bring the price down, it took off $9.15 for me. No guarantees it will work for you. Plus $1.56 in AliX coins and that's how I arrived at the final price.

You get the usual AliX watch specs:
- NH35 auto movement
- sapphire crystal (no AR coating)
- 100m WR, not that you'd ever go diving with this. Take your chances swimming.

I have the orange version and it's not too bad at all, it looks good on the wrist.

It isn't perfect, of course. The bezel on mine has a little bit of play, although it doesn't bother me. Other reviews have reported a rock solid bezel so it is a roll of the dice how good yours might be. The strap material is also a bit stiff. It doesn't feel too bad on my wrist, and it is part of the look of the watch, so I'm sticking with it. There are plenty of lookalike alternatives on AliX if you want to swap, and the lug width is a standard 20mm so your options are endless.

Also, the coloured ring on the crown isn't canon. On mine the ring is coloured orange to match the watch so it was a deliberate design choice of Pagani. I'm not only fine with it, I prefer it being there.

All in all, for under 80 bucks delivered you really can't go wrong. For the price, it's great.

The seller is legit, despite the slightly dodge name. I and many others have bought from them before with no issues. I haven't had to deal with any problems or returns, but like any AliX purchase you pays your money and you takes your chances.

If you prefer the regular Seamaster look, they can be had for just over $80, which is also a great price:

And one more, the Addiesdive "Salt Pan" Willard, also under $80. I can think of no reason why you wouldn't get this one. It makes a good change from the usual SD1970.

  So it's a Pagani designed but some other dodgy company copying and selling it cheap on AliExpress?
  A genuine fake?

    Pagani "Design" is notorious for taking the designs and dimensions of much more famous watches, and then slapping their own logo on it and calling it a day

    Some people call them homages, but other people see them as blatant copies. You can make up your own mind as to whether it offends you or not

      Nobody is denying that the "Design" in "Pagani Design" refers to a guy with watch catalogues and a photocopier.

      Lots of the others are the same though. The SD1970 has achieved near mythical status and it's a design copy.

      That's another debate though.

  Looks a little like bulova's devil diver , which is consistent with companies like this

    It's copying the Omega look

  'lol what the heck' - that is what I thought when I saw this. Then I realised its not an Omega.
  I wonder if these after-market straps are compatible with an OEM Omega and buckle. I wouldn't mind buying the strap in those exact colours for my Planet Ocean.

  This is the strap I'd be keen to get and try on my OEM.

    No - this is 20mm, the Omega is 22mm I believe.

    Sure you don't have a spare $1200 for a genuine Omega strap?

    You could try one of these though, if they are rubbish you haven't broken the bank.

      Haha - the strap isnt that much - but may be soon :-)
      The strap and clap maybe around that price

  The Planet Ocean is my all time fav watch design. I suggest if this holds up as being decent, it might be a budget friendly winner.
  The bezel of this watch does look quite a bit thicker than the PO when looking at the review photos
