Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 for its unbeatable value, with multiple sources citing a price of $119 and an NH35 automatic movement. Reviewers and owners highlight its excellent wearability at 38mm, clean dial, polished case lines, balanced proportions, and understated elegance. The watch is also noted for its strong C3 lume and high level of finishing and polishing. One owner suggests that a double-domed crystal would be a beneficial upgrade. Overall, owners rate the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 highly for its exceptional value and appealing design.
One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.
The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
