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
Well it’s nice to see friendly people like you again. Sorry I’ve been away so long

What did it cost you mate? Do you have a link?

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.

Thanks! BTW, it came today. The one I got was made in Japan, AWESOME!! I had to remove 2 links from the band which was harder than any of my other watches with stainless steel bands. It’s a pin and collar setup which is a bit of a pain in the ass. I had to use an magnifying glass to get the job done, but it came out perfect.
UPDATE: It’s exactly 24 hours since I set the time to http://time.gov/HTML5/ Atomic Clock. Happy to say it only lost 3 seconds which is excellent for an automatic watch. Compare that with plus and minus 15 to 30 seconds I get with my other Seiko’s.
Can you post some night time glow pics of that beast. I really like the day time look. You got me very interested in that watch. It has a sporty, yet classy look. Would you consider it heavy? I too would have to take out some links. I have some girly wrists. If I get one, I may seek you out for tips. lol

I will when I get it back from repair. About a month ago it stopped working. Luckily it’s still under the Amazon 2 year warrantee. Unfortunately, they had to order parts. Who knows how long that will take. It’s been a month already. I’m not happy about that right now
BTW, it is on the heavy side. That said, I do like the heft. I’m going to call them tomorrow to see what’s going on. Thanks for reminding me.
EDIT: I think you brought me good luck! I got the Monster back today! They fixed it without scratching the screw on back, or any other part of the watch! I was worried about that because I’m a picky SOB. Anyway, I’ll post the lume tonight.
I’m wearing this Guanqin quartz chrono this week. Already have the review out on watchuseek, but have to re-format it for BLF. Hopefully I will complete it in a few days.

As promised, a lume shot. The blur on the second hand was due to the long exposure

Not showing up on my phone, but surely nothing compared to the Monster. Sorry about the problem with it, by the way. Let us know how it turns out.

Photobucket seems to be down right now for some unknown reason. Anyway, I’m calling Amazon’s repair department about the Seiko later today.
Edit: Photobucket is back online
