It is really good to make a lot of friends in the world, I have some friends in China, so sometimes I will ask them to buy some fake watches and fake handbags there and send to me, these items are fakes but have top quality, I can not even see any difference between them and my genuine Rolex. In recent months, I am collecting homage watches made in China, I am deeply attracted by them, some have amazing designs and good prices, Parnis is the one I love most, it already has a long history in this area, but you can not buy Rolex and Panerai homages which Parnis makes in other countries, now the only way is to buy them from China, my friend Sam bought on Taobao, it is a very good place to find a lot of homage watches.
This is a great homage watch, I thought it would not come with a ceramic bezel, but the watch manufacturer installs a green ceramic bezel for it. The watch also equipped with a Japanese citizen 8215 automatic movement, that’s a really reliable movement and also accurate, you can not buy such a good homage watch with a low price from other places. The latest Submariner Starbucks from Rolex has a 41mm case, but this Parnis is 40mm, whatever, this is a size more suitable for my wrist.
The case is not thick, it even has a close thickness to a real Rolex Submariner, which is 13mm, the watch has brushed finish on the case and bracelet, the crown guards protecting the crown are polished, there is a Parnis logo “P” letter on the face of the crown. The bezel is a close immitation of the green ceramic bezel used by green Rolex Submariner, there is a lume pearl set at 12 o’clock, it has a green lume light in dark places, like the hour markers and hands on the dial. The rotatable bezel has a crisp clicking sound, and it is very comfortable to rotate the bezel.
Under the sapphire crystal, the black dial has all necessary features you can find on a Submariner’s dial, except the engravings on the inner bezel, on this Parnis, the inner stainless steel bezel is empty without engravings. Hour markers are standing on the black dial with white lume material filled in, it is said to be Swiss-standard lume material, the dial lume is indeed strong, but I have not tested if it can last long.
The bracelet also made with solid 316L stainless steel like the case, it has a pressing deployant clasp that features “Parnis” engraving on the buckle. I like this press-style buckle, it is easy to open. Overall, for this Submariner homage watch, it has two big selling points, green ceramic bezel and Japanese movement, I almost forgot its price, which is also very reasonable and even very cheap, the quality exceeds my expectation at this price level.
