mondeov6 0 Posted August 21, 2011 First of all....put any eventual funny Parnis jokes between brackets... [ ................................................................................ ................ ] Now to my question.... I have a Parnis GMT that runs an Asian 6497 movement (handwind). All the other watches I have had or still have that runs a 6497/6498 movement have only hour, minute and second hands. No date, day-night functions etc. On this Parnis there is a day-night subdial @6 and a GMT subdial @12 that can be set independently. I am curious of what has been modified/altered on this movement to add these functions? From what can be seen through the glass back of the watch is still looks very much like a "normal" 6497 movement. I am starting to develope an interrest in the various movements that can be found in our wristwatches. If anyone can explain to me about the Parnis movement please do! I am guessing that the most common configuration of a 6497/6498 watch is, hour hand, minute hand and a small second hand (@9, @6 or @3)? What other configurations are there? Enlighten me please!
