What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux

The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is praised for its vintage aesthetic and versatility, with the Aventurine Blue variant offering a unique starry dial and world time bezel. Owners note the sub-dials are small and difficult to read, and the Sellita SW510 movement exhibits rotor wobble and hand play. The $5,000 price point is a significant increase from previous reissues. Overall, owners rate the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster highly for its vintage aesthetic and unique dial options, despite some concerns about sub-dial legibility and movement characteristics.

Yema Diver

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.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
