Now I was looking around to see what Chinese watches were about when I came across this Parnis that seemed a bit out of place as it stood out from the others, maybe it was the pictures but the quality looked good. 2 cans of beer later it was mine and funny enough it got held up by the Volcano ash...ash colour dial...hmmm.
Anyway I know its a Swiss copy on the movement of a 6498 but the price tag was low and it didn't really bother me.
Anyway today a jiffy bag turned up but not box shaped and I thought then that it was a bad sign, cheap on the postage an packaging. So this little packed dropped out covered in bubble wrap so I cut it open and this Beautiful watch drops out. I look at it for a bit, its a good weight and the strap was very good, I mean I was not expecting this.
I wound it up and and it started to beat at 21600vph and the small second hand moved nicely around. I set the time and let it run for most of the day and its keeping great time so far. Its lovely to wear and that strap does it justice and softens up fairly quick after putting it on.
The watch does not dig into my hand and overall is just lovely...I mean that really lovely. It is limited edition also out of 1000. I walked out in the sunshine and when I got back indoors I noticed it glowing well, now its not amazing but for a Chinese make the lume normally lets it down in my experience. Let me just work out the price into dollars for you....click click click...just over $70.
Please do not just take my word for it take a look at the pictures.
