If you're looking for a Panerai-esque watch, Parnis (parnis.org) sells a bunch of cushion-case variations at half this price, the compromise being that most of the movements are Seagull, and most of the second hands are not centered. Parnis has fans here in the Massdrop forums.
CloacaParnis are the worst ever. bought there pilot watch and it choked after 2 months. Was much cheaper yes, but now it’s in the bin. the accuracy from day 1 was terrible over 2 min per day out! tried contacting Parnis support, but no response. You get what yup pay for yes, but in my experience I got even less than what I paid for.
