Okay, the X007 arrived this morning...
Very pleased with this - lovely clean face and my first handwind, apart from an old gold Tissot that was handed down to me. The dial is cream, which doesn't come across very well in the photos. Crappy strap as usual, but in defence of the Parnis leather straps, they're the only ones apart from the Hirsch Trapper that I can actually wear without coming out in a nasty rash. The chrome used in the tanning process on most decent straps, CWL included, is the culprit and is clearly absent from whoever Parnis source their leather from.

Re: Parnis Asian Unitas
Well good news for crappy Parnis straps.
I noticed that they have not done 11 on this watch so people can not complain about the wonky 11.
A classic clean look.

Re: Parnis Asian Unitas
May my tongue turn black for saying this- I really am looking closely at Parnis watches. The sterile black faced one that started this thread has caught my eye and I think I may have to make a purchase very soon!
