PD-1644 Gold

I received the package in perfect condition. The watch is perfect and absolutely stunning! I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I love this watch looks great and I’m going to wear it a lot

First impressions: I have been and continue to be impressed by the PD’s products I’ve purchased. The bracelet wears well, and doesn’t feel “Jangly”. I had to resize it, and, once again I find PD taking the high road and using (really nice, actually) screws instead of pins. One thing I didn’t care for - trying to micro-adjust the bracelet on the clasp. Unlike other designs where you can use a pin tool to remove spring bar pins and adjust the positioning on the clasp, there doesn’t appear to be a way to access the spring bar. I know some designs have a bracelet “fold-over-and-lock” design on the bracelet itself to give you access to the spring bar, this one doesn’t appear to be one of those. So, I have to remove 3 links instead of 2 and micro adjust. The feel of the bracelet is great, it’s a two-tone band with brushed stainless steel outside edges and a “gold” middle stripe. The gold in the band, pushers, hands, crown, bezel, sub dial rings are all the same on a white dial. The gold color leans heavily towards “brassy” - time will tell how long the color lasts. Pushers and crown are screw-down. The pushers functioning are smooth with a solid “click” when starting/stopping/reseting the chrono. Crown unscrews and “pops” out to first position with ease. I sometimes have to run a waxed tooth floss around the threads for the screw down crown (Watchdives, for some reason always seem to have gritty threads - waxed tooth floss makes them buttery smooth) The date flips over crisply at midnite and time setting is a little looser than I care for, but is fine nonetheless. There’s no “play” forward or back in the hand movement when setting the time. The controls are “tight”. Lume is… There. NOT one of PD’s strong points. I’m not much of lume guy (although I did buy a Ball Watch because of the tritium tubes) but for some it’s a make-or-break factor. I don’t care much either way as they’re either on a winder or case at night and if I REALLY need to see the time I’ll look at the phone. Looks - this is where this watch shines I think. This is a gorgeous looking watch. The Daytona homage is VERY overdone IMO and I’ve been trending away from them recently however when this came up on my feed I was immediately struck by its looks, (and of course the price point!). I don’t even mind the brassy gold color because I think it works well with the muted brushed stainless steel. Overall opinion is, for the money this PD is a gorgeous looking and feeling watch. Am VERY happy with it!
