What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Yema Navygraf Pearl CMM.20

The Yema Navygraf Pearl CMM.20 is praised for its elegant and slim case design, measuring between 9.5mm and 9.75mm thick, and its unique mother-of-pearl dial and bezel. The watch features functional dive watch elements like 200-meter water resistance and is powered by the in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor movement, which offers a 70-hour power reserve and is adjusted to -3/+7 seconds a day. Overall, reviewers highlight the Yema Navygraf Pearl CMM.20's sophisticated aesthetic and slim profile as its primary strengths.
