mondeov6 0 Posted December 22, 2010 The first of my three Parnis watches I bought through e-bay was in the mail today. This one is a 47mm sterile vintage Pilot style with a dome shaped chrystal and a 28mm brown leather strap. Asian 6497 hand wind movement. (I like them a lot!) The strap is quite nice and soft but a bit short. (110/70) Lume is quite good, actually a bit better than the camera I used could capture. Overall a very nice watch. My winning bid was 30.44$ shipping was 15.50$. Considering the movment itself usually is about 30-35$ I'd say this was a bit of a bargain. I am giving this one away as a present and I think it will be appreciated. Some pictures.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted December 22, 2010 That's a damn good price, I've struggled to snipe anything at a decent price recently! Make sure the lug screws are tightened before passing it on - if anything, I would recommend getting some loctite stuff to make sure they stay put! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure the lug screws are tightened before passing it on - if anything, I would recommend getting some loctite stuff to make sure they stay put! The screws were all very tight but I will take your advice and put some loctite on them anyway, so that the new owner would not have a problem later on. I usually have no luck with my bidding at e-bay but all of a sudden I managed to get three very decent Parnis watches at around 30$ each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted December 22, 2010 Cool, well done! I think I will have to snipe over christmas when, hopefully, people will be tied up and not bidding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kutio 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Very nice! I've been wanting to build a simple rad/pilot homage beater. Just never ended up investing on one. I think it would look perfect with a non-second dial like this one from Helena. It is a 39mm dial so it would fit perfectly in the Rad case. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
