Parnis Sub

Recommended Posts

AS90

These are SO underrated! I have had lots of cheapo homage watches, and this is one of the best. These days I find wearing a nice homage more appealing than wearing a bad rep. For the price Parnis, Alpha etc, are great value.

 

This is a nice chunk of stainless steel, with its own unique features, sapphire crystal and good cyclops. Amazing value for around £70, even cheaper on m2m ;)

Fit and finish is good, it looks and feels quality. It even has good lume.

Still couldn't bring myself to wear ANYTHING with 'Parnis' written on it, sorry.

I had two Parnis watches and sold them for that very reason. Imagine an old Asian man saying 'Can I see your Parnis' in a thick Asian accent and it changes the whole meaning.

The irony is the only people who know that Parnis means made in China are people who wear reps, which are themselves pretend swiss watches that are .......oh yes made in China. One is simply honest and chinese the other all front. Funnily over all the years of wearing many various watches the only comment I have ever received was recently for my big black Parnis (christened such by another member) the guy that complimented it can well afford any high end timepiece and so the name parnis meant nothing to him he just said ' love your watch, was that a special gift to yourself'. Funny how we are confused by the smoke and mirrors of branding even when it's fake!

You know I've been seeing these parnis and the Military version and I'm actually going to buy one of each. I think they are a great watch value for the money as well. Cheers for your post merry Christmas.

And in the Gypsy parlance Parny means filthy weather or at best rain.

The Parnis (Rolex style) I own (both 3 hands + date or 4 hands (GMT included) + date) are running a DG 2813 movement ... which externaly are looking like gen Rolex movements.

The branded dial parnis submariners have a miyota 8215, the sterile ones have a DG2813. I agree that they're under rated, I have a couple and they're surprisingly good quality.

I like these, they seem to be rare though. None on Amazon, one on eBay.

 

Any other sources?

Funny this just came up, I pulled the trigger on this same watch along with a pepsi GMT last week... both branded Parnis.

 

Got free EMS shipping from Ali, and QC pics also.. hoping it's as good as this one in the thread. I actually think it's very good looking as it's very clean with minimal text.. eventhough it says PARNIS!

Lol
