What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Grand Seiko SBGW257

The Grand Seiko SBGW257 is a platinum dress watch praised for its refined, subtle luxury and classic design. Reviewers highlight its 38mm diameter and 10.9mm thickness as near-perfect sizing for a dress watch. The watch features an 18k white gold dial with a sunray-brushed silver finish and gold hour markers, complemented by a refined application of the Grand Seiko wordmark. It is powered by the manual-wind Caliber 9S64 movement, offering a 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy rating of +5 to -3 seconds per day. The Grand Seiko SBGW257 is priced at €39,000. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Grand Seiko SBGW257 for its exquisite finishing and classic proportions, embodying a quiet luxury.

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.
