What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical significance and attractive dial. However, some find the 36mm case size to be a bit small, and the GMT hand can be difficult to distinguish from the minute hand. The watch has a very limited 3ATM water resistance. Later versions feature sapphire crystals, differing from earlier plexi models. Overall, owners value the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical appeal and dial design, despite minor legibility and sizing concerns.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial colors are praised. The value proposition is tied to a sale price, with questions about long-term competitiveness.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
