Picked up a new watch today from the post office. I know there will be haters of this but I like it and I know what it is and isn’t
The watch is a Parnis GMT and is based closely on a certain Rolex. I bought a sterile model which I’m sure gets sold on to unscrupulous forgery experts who add extra decals etc.
Initial thoughts are that it’s a well put together watch made from some good quality materials, the bracelet is solid with solid end links, it also has a decent clasp with a ratchet adjustment system. The watch is made from stainless steel with a ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal. I’m not sure about the movement as I’ve not opened it yet but in general Parnis use Seagull movements which I find tend to have noisy rotors but keep decent time.0 -

Rolex Batman "homage" for less than 1% of the price. What's not to like
Have you a link to where you bought it from? Is it waterproof at all according to the specs?
Sent you a PM with a link to where I got it. Not sure about waterproof specs? I’d imagine it will have some degree but I wouldn’t be going diving with it.0 -

It’s even better than the real thing!
****ing Rolex with their 10k watches with no micro adjustment.
Maybe at some stage I can transfer it to a real one Havng this on my wrist has made my mind up on getting a real one. The color scheme, I wasn’t sure of and I was torn between getting a Sub or a Batman and having worn a Seiko 5 Sub style watch, this one has my mind made up.
Now just to find one for a reasonable price that doesn’t involve waiting a few years and giving away the naming rights to my next child.. Somehow, I’m thinking the Panerai I also want will come easier and before the Batman....
I wasn’t sure about showing this here as I know that real watch nerds won’t like this as it is a blatant homage bordering on copy of a fantastic timepiece. Unfortunately it everyone can afford a real one but in my opinion it shouldn’t stop them being able to enjoy the styling it brings. Personally I hope to get my hands on either a Batman or a Pan before the end of the year now that I’m happy with how they look.0 -

How much to one of them pieces cost? 40mm with an Japanese auto movement and glide lock?0 -
My smallest Seiko 5 37mm and my biggest Seiko Sumo 45mm both on Barton elite Silicone straps.
The straps are a revelation on the Sumo, just makes it so much nicer to wear and it looks nicer too (sporty diver) I'm liking the ones I ordered as they have a Black top and a coloured bottom red/green.0 -
