I am getting more and more interested in Chinese watches.

It all started with the MM Pam homage w/"6498" swan neck. Unbelievable watch for the money I paid. Excellent customer service. One the watches that gets more compliments from all I have. The watch is running 14-16 seconds fast per day. If I compare it with my Unitas 6498-2 watch, that runs 4 s fast - considering that it is a swiss adjusted movement built to be COSC certifiable, I think the Chinese movement is darn good. I am pretty sure it was not adjusted, and that probably oiling was not top notch...

I have now a "6498" Parnis on its way, and I have been stopping myself from ordering a B&R GMT homage with automatic movement.

Also, I found Perpetual watches. They sell interesting watches with complications, also at a ridiculous price. On top, they have a 2 year guarantee, covering even the shipping costs to them if the watch has an issue in that timeframe! I am waiting for the Regulator to be back on stock, but have to stop myself from ordering another of their models...

Anyone else bitten by the same bug?
