NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik 39 blue goldvsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its Bauhaus aesthetic, clean, minimalistic, and timeless design, and the beauty of its in-house DUW 3001 movement. Owners note the rhodium-plated accents as a positive design element. One owner found the original strap stiff, while another reported the 39mm model's clasp chafes the strap. Both sources mention the lack of lume. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its timeless design and attractive in-house movement.

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.
