What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Yema Flygraf CPA10

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf CPA10 for its light 40mm titanium case, slim 9.4mm profile, and excellent legibility on its blue brushed dial with applied Super-LumiNova markers. The Yema CMM.10 automatic movement is considered terrific, offering chronometric precision of -3/+5 seconds per day and a 70-hour power reserve. Some owners appreciate the aluminum warranty card and packaging as nice touches. The watch is priced at €1,690. One owner noted concerns about the long-term reliability of older in-house movements due to mixed origins, though praised customer service under new management. Overall, owners rate the Yema Flygraf CPA10 highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive, legible dial design.
