NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silvervsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver is praised for its beautiful, sub-8mm thin case and three-hand movement with power reserve and date complications. However, its dial can appear darker than in photographs, and the lack of a quick-set date is noted as an inconvenience for frequent watch rotation. Some find the hour and minute hands too similar for easy time-reading, particularly in low light due to the absence of lume. Overall, owners appreciate the Metro 33 all silver for its elegant design and slim profile, despite minor legibility concerns.

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe, faithful reissue of a thin vintage design, and excellent build quality for its price, with particular commendation for its tactile pushers and top-notch Milanese strap. The watch is noted for its substantial, weighty feel and well-aligned indices, and the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement provides a sweeping chronograph hand. However, some owners find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Several owners report disappointing alignment issues with indices, and one owner experienced the dial rotating slightly when chronograph pushers are depressed or when adjusting the time, with these issues not resolved during service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II highly for its retro styling and perceived value, despite some recurring quality control concerns.
