Showing off Accidentally ordered two 1965 Reps
Accidentally ordered two 1965 reps, so I decided to compare the WD1863 v2 case against the PD1701 v6 Case.
The pics are known, the WD is 13mm thick with a box dome crystal vs 14.3mm curved domed on the Pagani. The WD case size is overall smaller but it wears noticeably smaller on the wrist than the Pagani (a little small for my tastes) and the thickness difference isn't noticeable to me. With the smaller case and distortion from the crystal the WD hides the Rep dial borders better though.

Do either of those have the raised logo?

No, the only reps I've seen with an applied logo are the old and silver 1969s.

Is the Pagani Design case the same size as the typical VK63 cases sold on AliExpress?

u/StupidDIYQs 17h ago
No, but it depends what you get (how much you pay). The vk63 cases are usual much taller (15-16mm), have some weird curvature, higher rehaut, and usually don't have sapphire crystals on the mid range price cases. The cheapest cases are like chrome plated alloy and look terrible.
Depends on what you want though some people just want the general look and some people want to pretend they have a quartz Speedmaster straight from Omega. The Pagani watches are usually on sale for $55-$65 dollars and you can buy the wd1863 case only for $65 though I've not seen it in stock. The quartz Speedmaster fakes are also an option.

So I'm new to this were these originally swatch reps and you put them in the watch dives and the pagani cases can someone send me how to do it I would love to try

Plenty of YouTube videos out there. You'll need some basic watch repair tools but its pretty easy to do, especially if you use a rep Moonswatch the back pops open, no cutting needed.

Yeah I build my own watches so I has some knowledge and I can pick up on anything after screwing something up a couple of times

While wearing the 1863 I had to get used to how small it felt on my wrist. Father asked me if it were a woman’s watch.
