Parnis - Ebayer

[Dan1983]

Hi All,
Reading through the "£50 watch" thread with interest and i now quite fancy a Parnis. However there seems to be a number of different sources that people have obtained them from. Are there any ebayer's out there that people would recommend? I am a bit nervous about purchasing this sort of thing from ebay without any sort of prior knowledge first hand of the seller.

Thanks
Dan

You'll have to trawl through the £50 thread but their is a recommendation in there somewhere.

EDIT: Certain it was This seller IIRC he happily accepts returns on faulty goods and only accepts paypal, so should safe enough.

I briefly owned the same watch I've linked, got it as new from TZ for £35. I'd have happily paid 3 times that for it. There was a small flaw in between the lugs where the case and bezel met, covered by the strap so no big issue. Talking of straps, they are cardboard stiff, either change it for something better or spend time breaking it in before wearing it. Aside from the aforementioned flaw, the fit and finish was very good, the case brushing was excellent. I wore the watch for two solid weeks and there wasn't a mark on it at the end. Timekeeping was acceptable +12 a day and whilst the rotor was noisy, I really liked the 'winding' noise it made
I only sold it as I thought it had silver hands, but they were gold and I don't do gold.

HTH

Used this chap for my Parnis, apart from the Chinese new year slowing things down a tad the delivery was fast enough.

Off to buy another.....

How long did it actually take from "Buy It Now" to the knock at the front door?

I placed my "buy it now" in January sometime, the site clearly stated they'd accept my order but nothing would be done with it until the end of their new year. It arrived on the 14th.. therefore 9 or so working days
