Serica Ref. 1174 ParadevsYema Navygraf FSM Bronze

The Serica Ref. 1174 Parade is widely praised for its elegant proportions, with a compact 35mm case and slim 8.6mm thickness, making it sit close to the wrist. Reviewers and owners highlight its impressive finishing, complex case with brushed and polished surfaces, and cohesive dial textures. It offers robust 100-meter water resistance, a Soprod M100 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, and a unique eclipse-shaped case. However, the strap and buckle are frequently cited as the weakest points, with some noting rough finishing that marks the leather, and the lug width necessitates custom straps. One reviewer questioned the dial's finishes, suggesting other textures might better suit the case. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Serica Ref. 1174 Parade for its distinctive design and robust build at its price point.

Owners praise the Yema Navygraf FSM Bronze for its wearable 38.5mm bronze case and comfortable, high-quality parachute strap. The in-house YEMA2000 movement is noted as a positive. The watch features a glossy black dial with elongated markers and hands coated in Super-LumiNova, powered by the YEMA2000 calibre with a 42-hour power reserve, regulated to -/+ 10 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Yema Navygraf FSM Bronze highly for its comfortable wearability and the quality of its strap and in-house movement.
