Fairwhale Skeleton 42mm

Fairwhale watch with box

Fairwhale also makes watches? I may had this question before I see this watch. I know Fairwhale, it is a Chinese clothing brand, I bought blue jeans from them before, I just did not know they also make watches. Now, Fairwhale has a wide production line that covers clothing, leather goods and watches, it also owns several sub brands, now Fairwhale has become a famous luxury group founded in China. I did not buy Fairwhale watch before, so this is my first time, the watch looks ok, just worth its price. Fairwhale has a good reputation in fields of clothing and leather goods, few people know their watches, for such clothing brand that also makes watches, I won’t spend too much on their watches, unless they make good homages, while Fairwhale absolutely won’t make homages, each watch has their own design features.

Fairwhale Watch Unboxing

The Fairwhale watch I received one week ago is totally a black one, they also have white stainless steel and rose gold models, with bracelet or leather strap. Fairwhale watches’ main audience is the young people, so, many models have bold designs that do not look that mature. I chose a mesh steel bracelet for this watch, while the seller sent me a black leather band for free.

Fairwhale Black Watch

The case is 42mm in diameter and only 12mm in thickness, it has black coating plated, so is the mesh bracelet. I like the black one, it looks cool, for the other models in stainless steel or rose gold, they also look fashionable because of the dial decoration. The black dial looks nice, I think many young people will like the style of this dial, several small dials and openwork, even they do not know what is the real purpose of each small dial. Actually the two subdials you see on this watch are not really necessary. First, the small dial at 9 o’clock is a repeated 12-hour display, the small dial at 3 o’clock is a day and night display, there is no hand on this subdial, but you can see the sun and stars patterns. The big opening at 6 o’clock shows the working balance wheel and gears inside, Fairwhale has applied white lume material on hour hand, minute hand and the small hand, they will glow a strong green light in the dark.

The watch features a display case back to show you an automatic movement that comes from China. The decoration on the movement rotor and plates looks ok. After wearing the watch for one week, there is a waste of 12 seconds daily error, but that’s ok for me, after all I think it just worth the money I paid for. Whatever, the Fairwhale does not deserve our extra attention unless you are a fan of their jeans and luxury leather goods.

Pagani Design Green Hulk Sub 116610LV Homage Review

Pagani Design Green Sub Homage

It seems like that many micro brands in China have the homage of Rolex Submariner, whether the black sub or green hulk, they are very popular homages, a lot of people still bought them even they know it is not Rolex. Dozens of micro brand watches in Chinese watch industry know how to make a rapid success by creating homages of some popular Rolex models, Pagani Design is such a brand, and with the promotions of E-commerce platform Aliexpress, the watches designed by Pagani Design can be delivered to every corner of the world, and almost every person can get one Pagani Design watch because of their low price. The green watch from Pagani Design I am going to introduce today is a good homage of Rolex Submariner 116610LV, actually in my collection there are several pieces have a similar look to 116610LV Sub, but I love this Pagani watch most.

Pagani Design Sub in Box

I have several Pagani Design watches, most of them are homages of Rolex and one Tag Heuer homage, but this green one is my best Sub homage I have ever bought. It has an excellent quality and a great value for money, the case and bracelet is solid stainless steel made, with a stable Japanese automatic movement, it is the best Chinese watch I have bought at this price point less than 90 US Dollars.

Pagani Design Sub Green Dial

The case has a diameter of 40mm, case thickness is about 13mm, actually Pagani Design also makes the latest 41mm Sub homage, both 40mm and 41mm available in different dial and bezel color. The case is fully brushed, except two sides and the crown guards, which are polished. The crown is screw-down, compared with the Sub, the crown guards are little short. The bezel is good, it fits the middle case perfectly and there is no loose feeling, when rotating it, the bezel action is superb with a nice click, no backplay or movement otherwise. A little pity that the bezel insert is not made with green ceramic. The bezel pearl has a round and domed face, it has white lume coating filled and will emit a blue lume light in the dark.

The green dial is under protection of a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with lents 2.5x. Both hands and hour markers are applied with lume material, they will glow at night, the same blue lume light as the bezel pearl, the lume won’t last very long, but after absorbing enough light during the day, the lume still looks very strong. Benz hand is an exact clone, the innder bezel is empty without engravings, each hour marker stands a little higher on the dial, but not too high, if Pagani Design uses a 3D logo at 12 o’clock, the dial will have an enhanced sense of layering and look better. By the way, my friend has a super clone green Sub, after comparing it with this homage, I found there is slight difference in the green color.

Pagani Design Sub Bezel

The watch has a display case back with a good exhibition of the movement, which is NH35 of Seiko. I bought one Seiko five years ago, it still works fine, so I trust this movement quality. I have had this Pagani watch for three weeks, now the movement has a waste of about 10 seconds each day. The bracelet is all brushed with screws, its edges and corners are a little straight and sharp, that’s ok for me, I have the bracelet polished more smooth and round in a store. Any way, considering its price, the watch is a perfect homage, I give this watch an eight out of ten.
