What a killer, Jeff!Thumbsup3.gif

I dug this Parnis out this morning.  Bought it about a year ago, and never wore it mostly due to the drab black strap it came with.  I had this green sharkskin 26mm strap in another box, and slapped it onto this watch.  The 24mm lugs were forgiving, and it actually fits quite well.
The movement was running quite poorly, but after spending a bit of time with it on the timing machine, I managed to regulate it very well.  I'm quite surprised at the good finish of this Unitas clone.
So, there I have another beater to do Saturday duty!

I dont even bother setting the date on any my watches unless I plan on wearing it for a few day straight.  But yeah, the russians do suck when it comes to setting the date.
