Not sure if Parnis is a micro brand, since the Chinese watch factory makes millions of watches at low prices. But I sure can feel satisfied getting them along with the SINN, MMaster, Omegas etc.....

Re: Parnis GMT
Obviously it's horses for courses, but I personally wouldn't put Parnis in the same stable as Omega or Sinn. In fact, nowhere near each other.. but that's IMHO. If you enjoy 'em, that's all that matters.

Re: Parnis GMT
I'm not sure Parnis is a micro company
They make fake watches for a street and then brand them Parnis to be able to sell online

Re: Parnis GMT
and they don't make them in small quantities, either.
Re: Parnis GMT
I was always under the impression there wasn't actually a "Parnis factory", but rather a group of factories with Parnis simply being one retail outlet. I think Alpha used to be another (don't know if they are even still around).
I actually bought an Alpha GMT from a US reseller (some jeweler in Minneapolis IIRC). The movement was about a gritty as anything I've ever felt, but it worked. I think it was maybe $50. It sat in my drawer for about 3 years before I eventually gave it away.

Here's a random review of Parnis with a sterile dial, like having a sterile dial makes it somehow better and less fake.Ryeguy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2017 5:59 amI was always under the impression there wasn't actually a "Parnis factory", but rather a group of factories with Parnis simply being one retail outlet.
