After owning a couple of the PD-16xx models,I was really excited about the new PD-1812 model. I liked the PD logo in place of the Pagani Design title and the minimal verbiage (just the word "AUTOMATIC") on the smooth black face. The bracelet has more of a jubilee look to it, with alternating brushed and polished links. Getting the watch and sizing it for my wrist, I'll say I have not been disappointed. In fact, I'm thrilled. This may be my favorite watch in my collection. It wears well on the wrist, keeps excellent time and is superbly legible. Just an excellent purchase for the price.
