I like various homage watches made by different Chinese brands, they offer good alternatives for those expensive Swiss watches, sometimes I saw many interesting reviews about these watches on the forums, it seems like many people like them, some even have more than one hoomage watch in their collection, perhaps collecting watches is their hobby, or some of them like to study Chinese watches. Parnis has a product line that makes a lot of homage watches of Swiss brands that cover Panerai, Rolex and IWC, now it is very difficult to find these Swiss homages online, if you have a friend in China, perhaps he can buy one for you from taobao.com, today, I want to introduce one Datejust homage from Parnis, my friend Tang Ming in China bought and shipped to me, thank you.
I did not spend too much on this watch, besides the shipping cost, my friend asked for $89, when I received this Parnis three days ago, I was happy. The watch is slightly lightweight but acceptable for me, real Datejust made with precious metals, while this Parnis homage is made with 316L stainless steel. The finish on the case and bracelet is ok, like real Datejust, the homage also uses both polishing and brushing two workmanship, it looks nice, it is just the links on the bracelet are little loose, but not that loose on a Oyster bracelet. The jubilee-style bracelet matches well with the fluted bezel on the watch. The watch is equipped with a Citizen automatic movement, which is 8215 and has a frequency of 21,600VPH. This movement from Japan makes me trust its quality more. I chose the black dial version, I did not expect a sunburst finish on the dial, while it really does have, but you will see it is not delicately completed. Overall, the quality of the watch is responsible for its price.
