Fished a cheap Parnis off the bay and have to say that even at under $50 this was a compete waste of $$! Horrible movement which creaks and groan while setting the time... just gritty and foul. Hideous wobbly stem which doesn't screw down flush to the case. And the final insult was trying to actually get a reasonable strap on the watch. Straps are fastened with a tube and screw system which worked fine on the first lug. The second set of lugs just spins and never disengages telling me it is stripped or machined so poorly as to be non-functional. A complete waste of money and time based on my experience. I've contacted the seller but unless they want to send me another I am done. Not worth the time to send this POS back. I would hope I could salvage something but with a crappy job on the case and a crappy Unitas clone for a movement this "watch" is just a pile of steaming feces. Maybe the redneck watchmaker can fix it with a hammer??
POS looks like this:
