AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual TimevsYema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz

Owners widely appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time for its value, with one owner finding it a good deal at $134 CAD, citing its thin bezel, pusher style, dial colors, and white stitching on the leather strap. The watch features curved lugs and a solid case, though some owners note it wears large at 44mm. One owner flags that the chronograph buttons can stick, and another points out a small, hard-to-read date window. The movement is identified as a Chinese DG-3809-3D automatic that hacks, or a Seiko quartz (Epson) movement, with one reviewer expressing disappointment in the undecorated automatic movement. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time well for its aesthetic appeal and value, with the dial design and strap details being frequently praised.

Owners praise the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz for its attractive design, historical significance, and comfortable 38.5mm size, with some appreciating its meca-quartz movement. The watch features a hesalite crystal and Seiko VK63 movement, measuring 10.3mm thin and 46mm lug to lug. Some owners note sharp edges on the case and a strap that feels cheap, though others find the strap acceptable and consider it a great summer watch. Opinions are split on the necessity of the 24-hour subdial, and concerns have been raised about the price and customer support. On balance, owners rate the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz highly for its appealing vintage-inspired look and accessible price point.
