Serica Ref. 1174 ParadevsYema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/

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.

The Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is a collaboration watch featuring a hand-painted graffiti-style dial with wet paint drips and spray can pushers, powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement. One owner noted slight marks on the lugs, bezel, and case of a pre-owned example, rating its condition at 88%. On balance, reviewers highlight the artistic and humorous blend of design elements as the watch's primary appeal.
