Studio Underd0g Champagne & CaviarvsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

The Studio Underd0g Champagne & Caviar is a polarizing monopusher chronograph with a unique dial design inspired by luxury food and drink, featuring a textured champagne top dial and a caviar-themed subdial. Owners and reviewers are split on its aesthetic, with some calling the design "so fucking bad" and "gross," while others appreciate its "awesome" concept. It is powered by a manual-wind Sellita SW510M Elaboré movement with a 63-hour power reserve and is rated at ±5 seconds per day, housed in a 38.5mm stainless steel case and priced at $2,200. On balance, the Studio Underd0g Champagne & Caviar is a unique but divisive chronograph, with its polarizing design being the primary point of contention among enthusiasts and reviewers.

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.
