An input I want to give about the after sales service of yema, I personally own 2 yemas. And 1 of them needed to be serviced due to inaccuracy issue; dealing with yema to have my watch sent to their work shop, have it serviced & sent back to me was seamless & professionally handled. Yema covered all the charges of shipping & repairing.

[@WATCHingJames]

That is great to hear. I have heard of a few negative stories. So it is good to hear a positive one. Thanks for WATCHing

[@WesWatchRoom]

This is a real looker and I'm happy that yours doesn't have the badly aligned chronograph hand. Enjoy it mate

[@WATCHingJames]

Thankfully I’ve not had the issues you had.

[@chairmankaga101]

I’ve been looking for a vintage-style racing watch, and I think this might be the one. The Seiko movement gives me confidence and the styling is interesting but clean and functional. Fairly priced doesn’t hurt.

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a great choice. Still one of the best in this category I’ve come across.

[@WATCHingJames]

This watch has really impressed me.

[@EscapeWheel]

Hey James. Great greview. going over these Yema Rallygraf reviews since mine should arrive in a couple days. Wondering if you still have this one in the collection and see how it's holding up and if your opinion has changed over the past year. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@WATCHingJames]

I kept this one for a long time but it eventually left the collection. It was a wonderful watch.

[@watchsixto]

That is a stunning Yema look great I like the dial layout

[@WATCHingJames]

It is very nice

[@asiantimepieces]

I really like retro automotive related chronos. This one looks perfect. That geometrical registers are very nice. There is a Zodiac similar to this one and it’s awesome as well.

[@WATCHingJames]

I’ve been looking at the Zodiacs lately. They have some nice looking watches.

[@cgrist7000]

looks like the price is up a bit as of oct. 2024

I bought this watch, same colour. But on leather. It's a bloody treat! It doesn't live in the watch box, it's been promoted to the watchbox lid.. My ONLY criticism of this watch, is the colourways offered by Yema. Panda, reverse, red, blue and green. I would have loved to see some more daring, black and red. Blue and yellow. Black and gold. I'm thinking, old F1 livery colour schemes.. They would have popped.. The reverse looks classic and is extremely legible. But, it's a bit too conventional.. Especially comparing, which isn't fair. But comparing Yema to other brands, take Squale for example. A great company, with a good history of divers.. Now offer more colours than there are stars in heaven! An old dog can learn new tricks.

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a really impressive watch. Great looking and lovely to wear. It would be nice to see some more colour options too.

[@Allusion1996]

Great video! How’s the mineral glass aging?

[@WATCHingJames]

Thank you. Still looks brand new.

[@jamesrosenkrantz180]

Still enjoying the Yema? It’s a beautiful watch and on my list… but read the same stories you did with QC concerns. No problems?

[@WATCHingJames]

No problems at all no had it for around a year before selling it. I just bought the Navigraf as well and it is also very nice.

[@jamesrosenkrantz180]

@@WATCHingJames they did make a really nice Dive watch as well. I’m watching at the Rallygraf Alpine Endurance, love the look of that watch… as did you. Hoping they have some good sales coming up for Cyber Monday as you did well on the price last year.

[@tonyalbrecht7169]

the watch is nice, but I would change the color of the sub dials so that the hands don't disappear.

[@WATCHingJames]

There are a couple of colour options but I particularly love this one because of the charcoal grey dial.

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

I'm impatient waiting the SUGESS "Mechanical" full review. I hope it doesn't fall into the oblivion. Cheers!

[@WATCHingJames]

Sorry about that. Something I’m very keen to do on the channel is wear a watch for at least 4-6 weeks before doing the full review. For me it takes that long to fully understand a watch and produce the best review I can. For update photos check out my instagram.

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

@@WATCHingJames guarantee of safety reviewing firstly. Well done. Thank you so much for your valuable procedure. Cheers!

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks Josep

[@ROCKY44]

If you’re in the UK add £70 to import from France.

[@WATCHingJames]

It is disappointing to hear bout how high the import taxes are in the UK. Makes some of the affordable watches not viable to buy.

[@scatterbrain9490]

Thanks for sharing

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@sagnikchaudhuri4142]

I heard they have QC issues the minute hand doesn't line up

[@WATCHingJames]

I have heard one or two stories of that issue. I did not have that problem thankfully.

[@motorradmike]

An easy fix to realign.

[@ezioauditore9505]

Got it at their black Friday deal at 279US.

[@WATCHingJames]

That’s a great price. It is a lovely watch.

[@notorious3602]

damm really

[@Sheikah92]

Bulgari ring? Class

[@WATCHingJames]

Yes. The B-Zero. Great ring. Thanks for WATCHing

1 reviewer says the crystal is acrylic and another says mineral crystal, which is it? Mecha-Quartz, part mechanical part quartz, hence mechaquartz! Lume? Is BGW9 Super luminova, dont last too long. A bit of a dissapointment. A Beauty of a watch nonetheless! Watch out big wristed persons. My 7-7 1/4" wrist with the Yema blue leather strap is on the 2nd to last position. Now i see the versitility of a Rapapantry,split seconds hand, would be justified. 😢probably spelling error.

Thanks for WATCHing
