The movementMingzhu DG3804B, in plain words

The movement, in plain words

Parnis lists the Mingzhu DG3804B for the P138 GMT Pepsi. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

On your wrist40 mm across, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 40 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 71% of that estimated width. Lug to lug is unknown, so no lug extent is drawn. Thickness is unknown, so no case height is drawn.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

Schematic section, with a 10 mm grid. The ellipse approximates wrist anatomy from circumference. Your wrist shape, lug curve and fit will differ.

What owners report

Owner reports. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From owners1 report

  • Owner found the bezel is unidirectional with 120 clicks, unlike the bidirectional Rolex bezel, and described the independent GMT hand as loose and fiddly to set. He rated the bracelet comfortable, but noted the end links visibly differ from Rolex. He reported weak lume.
