I am a watch collector/enthusiast. I have a Chris Ward C60-600 that cost £850, I have a Steinhart Vintage Red that cost £350, and sat next to them in my watch box is the Parnis. I know what I am talking about, and there isn't that much between them. The bezel clicks are of no relevance because the action is brilliant. I agree the lume isn't very good, and would rather the bracelet was all brushed. I get more positive comments from this watch than almost any other watch I own. Parnis watches offer fantastic value for money. FINALLY, A WATCH IS A SUM OF IT'S PARTS, NEVER FORGET THAT

Bought one, Beautiful, good finish, kept good time ( mostly - 5 to +4) and then stopped after 9 months. ordered DG2813, will be cheaper than to send back under "warranty"

This is a watch that I wanted to pick up a couple of years ago and never did… Saw it on eBay just now...Decided to revisit it...Looking for some reviews and there you are! I think we have about 15 of the exact same watches now… I’m not sure what to make of that...What is your father a traveling salesman? ...Brother?

I bought mine 18 months ago, and it gets more attention than just about any other watch I own, and I own a lot. Yes, it is waterproof, and I have swam with it several times. I bought mine direct from "mywatchcode" for about £74. Sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, 316L SS, screw in crown, a bracelet with solid end links and milled clasp, what isn't to love. I have owned, and do own many Parnis watches, and I am convinced they are about the best value watch on the market. A Seiko with the same spec would costs ten times as much. The down side, the lume is rubbish, BIG DEAL.

Curious to hear why a DG2813 movement would have been a mistake? Isn't that basically a Chinese clone of the Miyota 8215?
@watchmegobroke4365

Henry Nguyen From my experience the dg2813 doesn’t always engage the positions properly and sometimes hacking it won’t engage immediately. Hands and dials are all interchangeable but quality isn’t the same in my opinion. I use them in some of my builds and thats what I encounter, but they can keep great time though.

The watch itself is very nice for the price, but the clasp is very bad. A domed Sapphire and a little bit more lume would be nice. But all in all a solid timepiece

Ok if we are all financially responsible then some of us will never be able to have the disposable income to spend on certain brands of watches; Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe etc. (Good luck telling the wife and kids you are buying a Rolex instead of a new car, 2-3 years of vacations, college tuition). So no matter how much we like the style we will never get a real one - this is where online reviewers and homage watches come in. If they build a decent value and quality homage find it for us - supply and demand - it fills a market desire. Unless you are saying these are only for the financial elites and should only be for those people?

Karl Senula I agree with you. I like homage watches including Parnis, but it seems like there is a portion of the watch community that doesn’t. I guess because they use other companies designs, so it is kind of shady or its saying to the big guys, “we can do what you do so why charge so much?” I am pro homage most definitely.

Homage watches are good heck GREAT for the watch Industry. If people looked at it correctly. The people buying homage 9 of 10 can't buy a ROLEX or A OMEGA . BUT THOSE WHO START OFF WITH A HOMAGE AUTOMATIC WATCH .May convert to a Premium watch. So with tech watches taking the world over. I think the homage watch industry FUELS or is the foundation FUELING the higher tier watches with FUTURE Clients. Because Lets face it. Kids of today are not growing up seeing watches all around them. Like us in our 40's and 50's and 60's did.

I bought this watch when it first came out. A beautiful looking watch, however, the worst diver I've ever owned. It boasts 200m water resistance and my example fogged up after simply rinsing my hands under the kitchen tap. After I unscrewed the caseback to investigate the problem I discovered the rubber gasket inside was churned up in the screw bayonet. After correcting this problem and drying the watch out I expected no further issues, how wrong I was. After swimming in a lake I discovered the entire watch flooded with water, the watch was never the same after this and I lost trust in it. Then the bracelet broke on me and at 23mm lug measurement couldn't find a replacement that suited the watch. Eventually I binned the watch and cut my losses. I have serval Parnis watches that are excellent time pieces but the diver was just junk and a waste of money.

China-made watches are not well known for water-resistance. Have this been tested in water ?
