Arrived! And very lovely it is, too.
Mini review to follow after a few days on the wrist, if anyone is interested.
Not bad for €85 shipped.
Bought brand new for €85 (eBay offer) from watchery2016. It arrived safely, well packed in a Styrofoam box, bubblewrapped inside, after 7 days.
Other online reviews have praised it as an original Parnis design. I wouldn’t go that far. It’s like a lash-up of a Seamaster (hands, wave face) with a Rolex bezel. However it’s definitely not a typical Sub rip-off and is unique.
The case is a nice mix of brushed and polished steel. Top.
I really like the wave face (subtle) and colour scheme. There’s no cyclops.
The bezel is 90 clicks and lines up *just* off centre. It’s easy to use.
The movement (Asian ETA 2836 Clone, running at 28.8k bph) is keeping really excellent time. This example loses 2 secs every 24 hrs. I’ll take that! It doesn’t hack. However, don’t take the accuracy of my particular example as a guarantee that they’re all that good.
The tan leather strap is pretty stiff but after 4 days is softening up. It’s quite orangey but that ties in with the colour scheme. Bracelets are available apparently.
The deployant clasp has a fairly naff ‘PARNIS’ engraving, doesn’t sit particularly flush but has been 100% secure.
I’d imagine the watch would look excellent on a dark-grey Nato with a bit of orange detailing. Internal lug width is 23.04mm.
Any questions/photos required, ask away.

90 clicks? That sounds odd to me. I think most my watches with a bezel are 120?
Is the movement noisy? I have a cheap-ish chinese watch with a very noisy movement (as in: I put it in the drawer instead of on top of the night stand because I can hear it at night)
23mm? That's a bummer tbh. Mind trying it on a 22mm nato? Would that leave too much room?
I think I'm correct in saying that Omega used plongeur handsets only on very early 120m "baby" Proplof and the actual Proplof models, they're both Seamasters however not the Seamasters that one might usually think of when mentioning that name.
90 click is a bit odd as it would serve no purpose, 60 or 120 click would be more practical.

The hands are similar to those on the Seamaster PloProf:90 clicks? That sounds odd to me. I think most my watches with a bezel are 120?

The bezel is definitely 90 clicks.
The movement is practically silent although the counterweight winder is a bit rattly during normal wear.
I’m sure a 22mm Nato will be absolutely fine. I’ve got this one incoming and will post a photo when it’s arrived:
Cheers!

On a 22mm Nato strap:
The watch is keeping excellent time - between 1 and 2 seconds a day.
