AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes AutomaticvsYema Flygraf Navigator

Owners report the chronograph buttons on the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic can stick, though it functions well as a daily wearer with a clean dial and good quality stitched leather band. The 44mm case features well-curved lugs, and a hacking seconds subdial is present, but the date window is small and difficult to read. The watch uses an undecorated Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which some owners found disappointing compared to expectations of a Miyota. Overall, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic a good value keeper for its pilot design and $141 price point.

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Navigator's value and attractive design. However, community members express concerns regarding quality control and customer service, with one owner advising against purchase due to these issues. The in-house MBP1000 movement is noted as a mix of components, and one owner doubts its long-term reliability. On balance, owners find the Yema Flygraf Navigator a nice-looking watch with good value, but significant concerns exist around quality control and customer service.
