·Le club yema on the web is really the best resource. https://leclubyema.com/
I don’t really have an idea of production numbers, but they are not very common watches, especially the professional models. Seems like they were very much an upstart brand and indeed, they were only around for ~15 years when they came out with the Superman.

·@vibe, Thanks! For everyone's reference, I am including two good historical articles from that site.
1. Chronology of the Superman. https://leclubyema.com/index.php/2018/05/04/chronologie-des-superman/
2. A few good articles on the Yachtingraf:

·I finally found one Yema GMT bronze blue in 39 mm to buy, I will come back soon with pictures. My first bronze watch, first GMT and first watch from my country La France !

I am curious about the patina it can develop

·Congrats!! I also just bought my first Yema over the weekend out of France. Its a 550016 Superman. Below are a few photos from the Seller. I will post more as soon as it arrives -- likely in a few weeks. For those Yema aficionados out there, any comments or critiques are welcome. M

·Trying it out first on a green Tropic I had lying around - it looks nice but I think it might be washing out the blue a bit. Will be experimenting today!

·The lighting in that photo wasn’t quite optimal but I’ve tried this racing-style strap next.

·* should note that it comes on a chestnut brown strap (as well as an extra Tropic, both with nice signed brown buckles). But I don't quite love that strap.

·Next up is this custom leather NATO I haven’t been making much use of lately.
Looks very nice and wears well, but I feel like the bronze vibe is a bit too elegant for a NATO... at least until it starts to oxidize.
Think I’m going to wait until Tropic fixes the case ends on the 20mm model then buy a brown one.
