Orient Esteem II

Owners widely praise the Orient Esteem II for its surprising quality relative to its price point, with many finding it a beautiful and nice-looking watch. One owner specifically highlights its lightweight feel, good performance, and decent price, though notes the dial is silver, not white as anticipated. Overall, owners rate the Orient Esteem II highly for its impressive value and attractive aesthetics.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers
