The Watch Thread - Part 11

New watch hoot

First manual wind and skeleton watch, quite like the feel of a manual wind. I find the screwdown crown to be ill-suited with the movement however. Feels like I'd wear out the treading quite quickly with the need to manually wind it everyday.

Nice wor... I like the 'backside' more...

Who's the maker please?

For some reason I find the hands a bit off in terms of aesthetics.

Yup, Parnis with a modified Asian 6497 skeleton movement. I agree with the hands, looks like they used the hands from their Radiomir homage. Might swap it out if I can find a nice pair of heat-blued hands.

Planning ahead first. In case tio toto tomolo night. Then cpf will top up max. If not wait for daniel's gpgt next sakti hoot to be 跟屁虫. If everyone says sonething is good most likely will be good. Cos my wisdom limited so follow the majority crowd's wisdom no wrong.
