Parnis Big Pilot PA-01172 with an Asian Unitas Seagull 6497 Movement
This watch has a small anecdotal story attached to it and this is how it goes... I was browsing through the AliExpress 11-11 Sale and saw this timepiece. Having instantly fallen in love with it's classic, minimalist IWC Portuguese-esque looks I could hardly restrain myself from ordering one. The heart wants what it wants. But that's only half the story...
You see on the 11th of November, in the afternoon I placed the order. That very evening a remarkably poignant event happened and it set in motion certain catastrophic chain of events that would lead to the loss of a very loved one in my life. Now having received the watch it strangely enough makes me remember her. That day, that evening... memories, in TIME. For any watch collector, for any watch enthusiast every watch almost always has a story attached to it. Some say these stories are lovely little conversation starters over a glass of glistening sherry. Timepieces always tell a tale.
For me... this Parnis has it's own little tale, a bittersweet one at that. I shall wear it, thinking of her. Traces of memories in the sands of time...
My brother and I got the IWC models and they both stopped working after a few months.
U2718Q, skipped the Premiercolour version since Dell shipped this one with the newer firmware that fixed a green gain issue on the screen + was going to hardware calibrate it with my X-rite anyway.

Fantastic Clean look as mentioned by chaos. Wish we could have such neat and clean desk one day. Liked curtain colors and table.
