Love that one.. My latest purchase I get by with the, "Oh I just put a new bezel on it!"

 

am guilty of this too

 

i have also used, i just changed the dial.

 

Good morning from the Middle East, looking for a nice example of a Yema diver.
Seen this one for sale i personally thought it to be a redial, the seller otherwise.
What do you think? Lume seems to new.

 

My Yemas. In their new box.

 

looks correct. It is from the last iteration on Superman.

Yema just turned on the money tap again on kickstarter - 700k in 15 mins - not bad going. Hit their 200k target in 2 mins.

Welp, I broke down after Fratello's live shots of the bronze GMT and ordered one

I don't even like bronze watches much

 

Don't worry... I'm happy to help... Just change the delivery address to line.

Really, don't thank me... It is a big sacrifice for me, but I'm ready for it!

 

I too caved, but I'm looking at it as actually saving money. I've been eyes up a tudor BB bronze for the last few months, and while its too big for me and I've got what i consider to be enough Tudors, this has scratched the bronze itch for me

I jumped on the Yema bronze GMT today also; after seeing the decent build quality and timekeeping abilities of the heritage Navygraf I picked up last month.

 

Anyone selling a nice old Yema

 

I often wondered what the people who ordered the 3x watches in the kickstarter campaigns did with the watches

 

Really tempted by one of those Navygrafs. To my mind it's easily the best looking of the range.

 

Just received this notice from YEMA. Interesting piece.

 

There’s always a few on eBay but I think they’re overpriced because the brand gets a lot of attention these days. The models from the 60s and 70s often have chrome cases and don’t look to be good value for what is being asked for them. Just my 2d.

 

Almost all are stainless steel and very well made. They seem to have much less corrosion than what you find on vintage rolex cases as well. As vintage pro divers, the Superman is very hard to beat and the build quality of the yachtingraf and rallygraf is every bit as good as Heuer. I think they are a good value in the vintage market and are sure to appreciate.

 

I guess it depends on what you consider good value. I’m seeing all steel Yemas on eBay and chrono24 with asking prices upward of £1500. Here are a couple much cheaper, but they’re chrome-plated and I’m not minded to pay this sort of money for a watch that has many equivalently priced rivals in full steel.

It definitely has a funk, but it's not exactly out of left field - that Hamilton digital reissue got a good amount of attention a couple months ago. Seems like there's some '80s throwback action stirring up. Not for me but I couldn't fault someone for doing it

 

Although many of the sub-$1k Yemas are plated, a small percentage are all stainless. They seem to usually run a few hundred dollars for the less desirable models (Sous Marine, etc.). If you are looking for some of their more popular models (Superman etc.), then yes, it is hard to find anything in decent condition for less than $1500 or higher...
