ChipSlap Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 http://www.siswatch727.com/showroom/model/T0165/templateProductDetails.do?ParentId=1240792357671003663¤tPage=1&editCurrentLanguage=1239717806671017347&webId=1239717806671017346&productId=1240796306312004101 I have 1 Parnis I got via ebay. I am very happy with it (once I got a better strap). It's an A6497 that runs fast by less than 1 second a day, and it was only $41 after shipping. So I was wondering if anyone here has bought the "46mm Black Dial Pilot Style Mechanical Asian 2824 Automatic Date Watch" from Getatwatch. What's the word on the street about this one?

Member X Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Getat is a great bloke. He's on RWG1.1 as a dealer if you want to ask him any questions! The Parnis stuff is great value, I'm very happy with the Parnis stuff I've got so far (below), so much so I've got another two coming in the post shortly... The movement in the one you've posted looks a lot like the one in my one above, which has a pretty noisy rotor, unfortunately. However, it does keep great time and winds easily with a few swirls of the rotor! I would perhaps recommend trying for that watch on ebay as I have seen it sold. I don't want to take sales away from Getat but at the same time I don't want to see anyone pay more than they have to! Getat will do well enough with the other great stuff he sells Edited September 8, 2009 by Member X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Here is my big black Parnis: From the ebay, though GETAT could probably get this for you as well. GETAT is a top notch homage dealer. The best one by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 How's the lume? The one I have has metallic numbers and hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Average rep lume on mine tbh, apart from the BP which is slightly better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Getat lume is about to undergo a quantum improvment thanks to the fact that Tat actualy listens to customers wants. John put him on to Glowinc and that will (with any luck) soon be the std lume for Getat watches! The guy is amazing, he even does a five position timer test on each watch before shipping! As to does anyone have that watch: Only about half the board at RWG1.1. Been a very popular choice along with HD's BBP above. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob bean Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have just ordered a whole bag of components from Tat and inquired about his new lume, he is throwing it on everything I've ordered for a small fee. He is really on the ball and he really does check all his stuff like no one else. Once I have built my new pieces I will post them up.
