This new Parnis just in today. It has the Chinese 17j. Unitas clone engine and is 44mm. The lower half of the dial is lumed and the hands and numbers on the top half have good lume also. The only conceit is that although the dial indicates a 24 hour movement, it is only a standard 12 hour watch. The seller also sent an extra black 12 hour dial but I kind of like this dial so I think I'll live with it. Seems to be keeping good time so far. Not a bad pickup for $40.00.

Nice Edgel, the rose gold looks cool.....are the lugs fixed on that case or are they removable?

They are two piece removable that affix with set screws in the back, Nick. I switched straps immediately and getting the two pieces on either side of the strap to line up with the holes is a lesson in patience.

I know exactly what you mean...you need to make sure you get the little groove lined up....

The reason I asked is the RXW MM25 I recently got has fixed lugs....you can only put open end straps on it....i'm thinking of cutting the lugs down to the size of the removable lugs....with the right strap you can probably bend it enough to make it fit...not a huge selection of 26mm open end straps out there

I was looking at the IWC clones thought they were nice for the price.
