Parnis Daytona released. Who would buy one?

[Dusk]

I love the look of the 50th platinum Rolex but I cant bring myself to buying a Parnis somehow although I'm close just for the sakes of curiosity.

working chronos plus a brand so warranty makes it kind of tempting.

$143

anyone have any thoughts on these homages?

Not sure but I have a bulova quartz that sweeps I think seiko also do a sweeping quartz?

It's a Seiko VK "meca-quartz", the large sweep second hand moves mechanically and does not have the quartz tic, but the small seconds dial does.

OP, at $149 this watch is about $60 overpriced.

Has a decent version of the 50th platinum been released yet by arf or noob? I've been out of the loop for a while

Oh, OK. I have a couple of Accutrons that sweep REALLY smooth!

I have several Parnis and they are very good watches. The quality /price rapport is Amazing !
Not at our high end replicas level , but very good!
I think these new models are very interesting for who wants homage watch to a decent price!

ARF just did a nice one dial/bezel wise but it's still got the wrong SELs on it. Angus poopood me when I pointed it out and said it's not financially feasible to make special endlinks, despite the fact that every fac used to do it for the 16622 yachtmaster instead of reusing submariner/gmt ones.

tr573 tr573 did they definately do the blue/ ice version for sure? I'm struggling to see one on Ryan's or any other TD's sites?

The Parnis logo/font is just so meh.....just can't get excited for anything they do.

By ice do you mean diamond? Sorry, they did the ice blue with brown bezel - not the ice blue / diamond /plat bezel. It's listed on angus' site only so far

Just ordered one! Ill keep you all in the loop. There are cheaper versions (picked mine up for < $100) on ebay!

 

[muiramas]

I think they would sell more if their brand name wasn't similar to P E N I S

 

[Raymondreddington]

Anyone bought it? Can share some pics?

 

[Babul]

I wish they released the blank dial (unbranded) daytona.

Fooled me for half a sec. Think it'd look half decent without the fugly logo. With the logo...wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.
