Hello chaps, first post so if the thread is in the wrong place, or if I make errors please excuse as any ill-will is not meant. I'm not a watch guy but I've a Parnis yatchmaster coming. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000232211159.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0n.store_allProduct.allProducts_338606771.4000232211159 While the brand ticks all the boxes, I'm not impressed with the name so am considering buying a sterile dial. I'm also considering putting a clear back on it so the internals can be seen. Has anyone ever swapped a dial out on one of these? Is it do-able as I've read it can be difficult to take this brand apart. Any links to it being done? Secondly could some friendly chap post links or info on the parts I'll need, thanks.

Inside is a 'high beat 2813' which I understand to be the clone of a clone ETA 2824. Who knows about its longevity but it is ticking smoothly and date change is perfectly clicking at midnight so I am happy for the price. Bezel is Crisp, text is sharp enough for a watch at this price point and all the markers are on square, as is the cyclops which magnifies perfectly. I've never been interested in lume but I noticed this one lighting up brightly in a dim room so presume this is super lume, as described. Very nice. Overall I'd have been happy with this watch if it had been twice the price. For the money I paid its a steal. This is from Perfect Clones and cost £110 delivered.

Rolex holding the crown position in the watchmaking industry has its reason - it produces "Les Beaux Arts". The moment I unpacked this dial on my work bench, a French phrase rang in my head - "Les Beaux Arts". I couldn't help but gave the dial a good half an hour gaze, trying to figure out the materials and the work processes to produce this little piece of art. I checked all the watch forums, gen or rep together, and learned that gen Yacht-Master 16622 dial is made of a slice of solid platinum. Like the 50th Anniversary Submariner 16610LV insert, gen 16622 dial reflects different glares or sparks under different angles or colors of light. Also like the Submariner 16610 & 16610LV, gen Yacht-Master 16622 dial print has quite a few versions since its 1997 debut. Some have "slender" Yacht-Master font, while others looked "bold". Members on Rolexforums argued about which variation or series built is worth more to invest in or collect. My British friend and I do not have such a problem. To us, the red, "bold", and raised in high gloss Yacht-Master text appeals the best. Rolex dial makers are the elite few who mastered the skills in dial printing. Gen Rolex dials always bears its trade mark feature - raised printed text. On Yacht-Master 16622, the printed text is somewhere between gloss to matte. One thing worth mentioning is, to pad print on an uneven surface, like the platinum Yacht-Master 16622's dial, and still produce the raised printed text is a lost art. I'm very happy my British friend mastered this lost art. Gentlemen, may I present "Kensington High 16622 Dial". The lume shot. Another shot under work lamp. Thanks for reading. TC 07/10/2015

So I was lurking on replicawatchvideo as I do every so often, and something caught my eye...A Yachtmaster II! http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/yachtmaster-ii-11683-ssyg-white-dial-on-ssyg-bracelet-a7750_e851191da.html Is it just me, or have the factories not made one of these guys until now? I've always been a fan of the model even though a lot of folks I know can't stand it. On the rep, the Regatta chrono doesn't appear to be functional sadly , and the "yacht-master" lettering on the bezel is a bit too thin for my liking...but then again, I'm not an expert. What do you think, gents? I, for one still quite like it, but my better judgment is telling me to pass on this one and go gen instead, but nevertheless, I figured I'd share what I found!

I owed TC these pictures. The watch is really awesome, and I said I'd share pictures of it with the community.... So here it is !!! I've been wearing it for over 2 month now -and yes: no scratches....-, and I love it more and more. I was planning on upgrading it, but finally it's great as it is.
