What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC

Owners praise the Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC as a beautiful, classy dress watch with deep brand heritage, suitable for special occasions. One owner noted the stock strap appears narrow due to the lug design, making spring bars visible. The Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC reissue is considered a fantastic deal at $700, especially after a recent official Longines service and dial replacement, presenting it as a like-new watch. However, its lack of patina may disappoint collectors who value "character" from wear and scratches. Overall, owners rate the Longines FLAGSHIP CLASSIC highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition.

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

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
