First Chronograph ๐ŸŽ๏ธ and early birthday present!! ๐ŸŽ

March is starting with a bang, Iโ€™m so excited! I have started a new job (which Iโ€™m loving so far) and my birthday is coming up in a few days, so after a past tough months I decided to treat myself and got a little celebratory token.

I have purchased this Yema Rallygraph in Burgundy, and I canโ€™t stop looking at it. I am big fan of racing, and I didnโ€™t have a chronograph, so this was just perfect!

I saw this model a long time ago, and it thought it was a bit out of my budget. To treat myself I going to get the Moonswatch Mission to Pluto (similar colors), but after a lot of thinking, I decided to spend a bit extra and get a better watch, donโ€™t regret it one bit.

Expect a lot of new wrist shots wearing this beauty! ๐Ÿ˜

I think you absolutely made the right choice stretching for this over the MoonSwstch. Nothing against those watches, I think theyโ€™re great, but if $3-400 means anything to you, then a plastic quartz watch is a bad buy.

This is one of many watches Iโ€™ve had my eye on over the last year or so. I think it looks great, and having that movement in another watch, Iโ€™m a fan. Honestly the only reason I havenโ€™t bought one yet is that Iโ€™m (successfully) slowing my purchases down. There are so many watches and I can only afford a few of them.

Anyway, I think itโ€™s a great looking watch, wear it in good health. And happy birthday.

Its a great watch with a beautiful design! I have the reverse panda rallygraf and I always get compliments on it. Wear in good health friend๐Ÿ˜

Very nice chronograph! The strap looks very nice too. Enjoy it.

Nice pick! Congrats on the new job and happy birthday!๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘

Great choice on all levels.

Happy Birthday enjoy the watch.

Happy early bday! That watch looks fantastic. Love the colors

Happy birthday mate, great looking watch at a bargain price,if it makes you smile every time you look at it, thatโ€™s a good sign you made the right choice.

ยท

I haven't ever had or held a Yema, but I can tell you you aren't missing anything with the moonswatch. It's cool and all, don't get me wrong, I adore mine, but the price is definetly too high. The Yema looks amazing tho

ยท

Great choice! Congrats!!

Love the modern Yemas and, in particular, the Rallygraf.

Vintage Yemas are also pretty awesome.

These two just arrived today...

Iโ€™ve had it for only 24 hrs, and I honestly think itโ€™s amazing. Really great design, mecaquartz movement, awesome design and a great size to be honest.

I would suggest checking with their team on the website to get 10% off on the first purchase, Tony.

Iโ€™m not sure it will help, but in my case I was saving some money to put towards a car. Unfortunately the secret seems to be to shift your obsessive nature to something else.
