AV86 1815 ChronographvsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

Owners widely praise the AV86 1815 Chronograph as gorgeous, with one owner noting its smooth, non-crunchy pushers and another highlighting its attractive dial appearance. The watch features a quartz movement, a 41mm case, and a pleasant leather strap. However, one owner finds the thin, polished steel hands can be challenging to read in glare. On balance, owners rate the AV86 1815 Chronograph highly for its aesthetic appeal and refined chronograph actuation.

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe and car dashboard styling, with its faithful reissue of a small, thin vintage design and tactile pushers noted as strengths, especially considering its price point. The Milanese strap is described as top-notch, and the watch has a substantial, weighty feel that wears smaller than expected, with well-aligned indices and no play in the movement when setting the time. However, some find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Owners are split on Yema's quality control, with some reporting no issues and others experiencing or hearing about crooked indices, dial rotation when pushers are depressed or time is set, and a fixed strap loop that limits adjustment. Yema's customer service and communication regarding shipping and strap availability are also criticized by some owners.
