| PD-1690 the turquoise-dial favourite that rode the Tiffany-OP craze — clean time-only dial, a real 200m rating and a Miyota 8215 auto, at 40mm against the original's 41. Pagani's official page confirms the reference and specifications; it showed every variant sold out on 2026-08-30, but on 2026-10-02 four of its five colours were available again, the turquoise Sky Blue among them, with only Blue sold out. Amazon search did not surface PD-1690.

| NJ0150-56X Tsuyosa not an OP copy, but a spiritual alternative with its own identity: a 40mm steel case, a smooth bezel, a green dial and sapphire, on Citizen's 8210 automatic (Citizen's own store). Its own identity shows in the integrated bracelet and in the date window with a cyclops, which the time-only Oyster Perpetual does not have, and it is rated 50m against 100m.

Prices are approximate and drift — check the listing before you buy. Where a price shows a source and date it was read from that seller on that day; “from” means the seller quotes a range across configurations and this is the base one. Amazon pricing for these brands often differs from the brand’s own store, in both directions.

FAQ
What is the best Oyster Perpetual 41 homage?

Yes. An homage borrows design language — proportions, dial layout, bezel style — without carrying another brand's name or logo. That is legal and openly traded; Timex, Bulova and Steinhart all sell homages. We list only homages here, never counterfeits.
How much can you save versus a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41?
The original is about $6,500. Homages here run from roughly $152 up, so you keep the design cues and lose most of the price.
