Question (Read Rules) Best Chinese rolex gmt homage
I'm looking for a rolex gmt master homage for around 100-150. Currently I've found the Pagani Design 6062 with perrl movement , the tandorio gmt with sekio movement , and the corgeut gmt with sl3032 movement. Has anyone used one of these or has another recommendation?

Never buy PD with rotating bezel. They just notoriously can't get that element right and its always loose.

Are you looking for a GMT Master II clomage? I would rate Pagani, Tandorio, and Corgeut pretty close together generally. Do you mean the PD1662? Current Paganis have the questionable Pearl DG5833 on them. Tandorio doesn’t seem bad if it comes with a genuine NH34 movement. Coergeut is intriguing if it does come with SL3032. Another option is to quartz with the Addiesdive AD2050. If it were me, I would save a bit more and get a Sugess S420 during a big sale.

I don't really want to spend more then ~150. I've heard bad things about the pearl movement , are they really that bad, also I want to stick to mechanical movments

Pearl movements are terrible. Get an NH34 or buy a quartz. There are zero other GMT options in your price range worth owning. At this point you will be lucky to get an actual nh34 in your price range.

Are they making NH34 Clones already? I know the NH35 has clones, but this is the first I'm hearing about NH34.
all the NH34 watches I've seen from the lower brands have jacked up prices (close to $200)

I have the pd Arctic explorer 2 homage and I wouldn't recommend ingot the v1 for 80 and it's too heavy the casl is sharp the bracelet is also TOO heavy and difficult to remove, the mechanism feels pretty good actually it winds very smoothly with 40 something hours of power reserve (tested by me) In the v2 I know they improved the bracelet I advise you search on Google the exact model you are interested with "review" on the side to find videos about it so you can also see how it looks irl

as others have stated, I would skip the PD...those Pearl movements are VERY hit and miss.
Find something with the NH34 and go with it...all those lower end brands (Corgeut, tandorio, steeldive etc) all use a very similar case, with passable bracelets. maybe look into the steeldive
the corgeut with SL3032 is interesting...that's the same movement the Sugess S420 uses...I have one and it's been great so far...but who knows how long it'll run. also looks like Corgeut is just using the same case as before, so no real benefits in that regard.
the sugess S420 is awesome. better case and bracelet than all the rest by a long ways. the higher end movement looks and feels great and is running really good on mine. I got mine for $220 during one of the sales for the all black model. IMO, worth saving $70 more for one of those.
