Beautiful.
Working on fusee movements is enough to make a person drink. Look at the fusee chain under a strong magnifying glass someday ... and imagine having to rivet each of those links by hand.

Still like the Parnis? Any negative feedback on it? Pretty accurate keeping time? Thanks.
Been wearing this 39mm ceramic bezel steinhardt mostly (over the squale and submariner). It’s proven tough, keeps good time, good reserve, and the solid end link, threaded 20-18mm taper bracelet is classy and well made. The only thing it’s missing is the divers extension, and the other two have that if go get wet. And it’s the cheaper of the three! Uses ETA 2824 movement. And the chrome rings around the lume (which is great btw) adds a nice classy touch. I have thought about trying to get the periscope off it, but I’m leery of doing it myself.
Uses ETA 2824 movement.
As much as I hate to admit it, ETA really got it right with the 28xx series of movements. From a watchmaking perspective they're about as exciting as a Glock 17, but the damn things are virtually indestructible.
Almost 25 years ago I cut my teeth as a watchmaker on 2824's. Got out of that business a long time ago, but I can still close my eyes and see the automatic winding mechanism's inner workings.
