Parnis GMT

[T. Wong]

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.....

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.

They make fake watches for a street and then brand them Parnis to be able to sell online

and they don't make them in small quantities, either.

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.
