OTW: Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz Alpine Endurance Team Edition.

This watch ticks all the right boxes for me except the QC one... second Yema I've purchased direct from them and it's also the second one that came with problems (chrono second hand misalignment in this case).

I'm not sending it back this time but at some point I'll fix it up myself. This is very disappointing though 🥴

I didn't know the bezel was supposed to turn on these. I'll mine out when I get home.

I already had an issue with another watch because they sent it 2 hours a day fast. They sent it back with a slightly misaligned date wheel but running properly. I accepted my fate there.

I'm in a similar situation now with the second hand misalignment. I'm not going to bother sending it back but 2 out of 2 is pretty sad 😂

Is this still with a YEMA?

Yeah. I got one of their automatic dress watches with their in-house movement a few months back. That one arrived 2 hours fast a day. It was obviously bad so I sent it back for repairs because it was past the refund period. Else I would've returned it.

I figured this being a quartz there'd be no way they can mess the QC up but... I was sorely mistaken 😂

I got burnt buying their cheaper stuff. It's hard to justify taking a gamble on a Superman with their track record. 🥴

Exactly!!!! Hence why I will not purchase one.Or any other yema.
