For $87usd free shipping from China, this Parnis took 10days to arrive. Ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal, supposedly, with DG2813 movement. Still keeping accurate time after 24 hours. Took the SS bracelet off and put on my old German goatskin gray leather strap.  on ledge by blingmeister, on Flickr  deskshot by blingmeister, on Flickr |

Sweet. Ive had a few Parnis watches, crazy good value buys on e-pay, but the DG movements on mine were a noticeable cut below Citizen and Orient. Finish was lacking as was time keeing consistency on the wrist. And the giant plastic movement ring fitting a small diameter movement into a large diameter case was ridiculous but they hid it well by using a small display back window!
That sure looks great and for $87 it's a crazy bargain.
Congrats !

I hear ya. Some years ago your criticism was accurate and I myself left the Chinese watch crowd. So I wanted to see if quality had changed now in 2017 and dug up past posts mostly on WUS. I was willing to spend some cash to find out. 2 ordered watches from 2 different sellers (Hong Kong and Guonzhu) totally $170or so.... I have some very good watches in the collection with ETA2824-2s, Valjoux 7750, Lemania 5100 etc. My Portugal made Borealis has the Miyota 9105. This Parnis (Rolex sub homage) and the GMT incoming (Rolex homage) both have the basic DG2813. I found this post describing Parnis history timepiecequarterly.com/parnis-watch-review/ |
