I own four Yemas. Love them. Only had one issue (crown stripped on my bronze watch and wouldn’t screw down). Yema fixed it, although I did have to ship it back to France and wait a month. All in all, Yema is one of my favorite independent brands and this is one of my favorite watches:

Seiko or Hamilton for me. Speaking of Hamilton, I’v always loved their 1960s Super Compressor 600. This Longines reminds a lot of that. Love it!
