Sorry I’ve been inactive here for a while. I came back after reading Old Lumens was not doing all that great and needs surgery. Anyway, I bought a new watch pictured here. It’s a 44 mm winder with a Seagull 17 Jewel movement made by Parnis.
Nice!
Parnis seems to have a good reputation. Their homage watches are supposed to be pretty nice and reliable.
How has this watch held up?

So far so good. It’s not as accurate as a quartz watch, but it’s within 5 seconds a day. Build quality is superb.

Today is my Momentum M50 DSS with the 8 year battery life.
My Russian Single handed winder….
That is just gorgeous!! I’m not bothered about the fancy see through back but the face is just pure elegance.
Does it have lume? If so can you do a lume shot?

Thanks! I love this watch. It does have lume, but it’s not the best I’ve seen. I’ll try taking a picture tonight. I’ll use my Fenix TK75 to cheat a bit. lol!
Im thinking that 44mm Parnis is a homage to a IWC giant Pilot watch? It is a beauty in its simplicity!
Nice to see you posting atbglenn
Every time when I see these pics of Parnis watches, I think of two things - damn they look large for my small arm and -damn, I wish I had the crown of that size/shape to handwind my wathces

Sure. It was $99.00 sold by Amazon under the name of Fanmis (same company as Parinis) In my opinion, it’s a great watch at 3 times the price
Very nice. Don’t forget the lume shots.
You’ve inspired me to dust off a cheap little auto which I’m going to wear to work tomorrow, my Alienwork Marina in black with black leather strap.
