Are there alternatives to Yema Flygraff & Serica 4512 commando?
Has Anyone found alternatives to these field style watches? I particularly love the design of the Serica 4512 commando, just can’t pull the trigger. Curious what the community has found out there?😊

Influenced by my Father and his banged up Timex Marlin with the aged yellow acrylic and Twisto-Flex band. I guess this makes me a minimalist. In memory of my dear Father my favorite watch is the Hamil...

What’s stopping you? Price, size, color, weight…?
Well, in a sense any field watch with 1-12 outer numerals and 13-24 inner numerals would be alternatives. But it’s really all about the details with these two watches. So, no. If you want one of those watches, get one of those watches.
Avoid the Flygraf!
Had one & it was awful!! Basically a thick chunky diver with a plain brushed bezel that scratches just by looking at it, & in my case I had the barely legible grey dial. Accuracy was hit & miss, it felt fragile yet cumbersome, finish was ok but not great
I'd not accept another Yema as a gift, utterly dire!
There's a Chinese copy of the Serica that actually gets better reviews than the original watch it's based on too, that'd be worth hunting down imho.
Good Luck 👍🏻
