    They are releasing a few too many models recently for my tastes

    I'm not ordering one but I think it's a cool piece with some neat details. I like the domed crystal and use of the French Air Force insignia on the crown. I think it looks best on the bracelet but would be concerned with the durability of the PVD coating.

    It’s cool but that crown protrudes too much. Makes the overall profile of the watch a little off.

    Was looking at it as I thought it was interesting because of its theme, but decided not to pull the trigger.
    Wondering what diameter people who did purchase it, decided to pick. I think I would have gone for the 39mm...

    I went for the 41mm. I have the 39mm heritage bronze and was curious to see how the 41mm wears. I’m not really sure about it to be honesty but there is a 14 day money back guarantee so we’ll see.

    Interesting piece, but I'm with @jerryct...that crown would dig in a bit too much for comfort.

    Agree it's cool but not for me, and that there are a few too many releases coming out of Yema these days. Though they're developing their own in-house movement which could be interesting to keep an eye on.

    The Superman case at 39mm is wonderful if not quite finished yet - needs a tiny bit more attention to the edges. Def keeping Yema on my radar going forward for sure!

    i like a big crown, but it seems really emphasized here because of the build up and bezel lock.

    canteen anyone?

    I'm not into the black but I ordered a Superman and if I like it enough, I'd be a buyer of the GMT.
