Thanks some of those points wouldn't be an issue on the model I'm looking at but i don't want a dinner plate. That was what put me off the Yema superman Bronze Bordeaux when they were on sale a few months ago. Too risky for me to buy without trying one on even if the price is tempting. I keep getting a reoccurring Bronze urge just like my Pepsi urge. Watches are worse than bikes 🙄

Mostly aesthetic. The movement feels great, is smooth and accurate enough. And overall build quality is very nice.
However, because it is 42mm and very thin for a dive watch (11-ish mm) combined with the flat crystal it can appear a bit dinner plate like. If it were 40mm with domed crystal I think that would be ideal.
Plus there's lots of little things – the polished sides should be brushed. Too much text on the dial and a cheap and nasty applied logo with a horrible design. Also the shiny blue bezel could do with being more of a satin finish. And the handset...
I bought it massively discounted, think around the $500 AUD mark. So good value for the specs, but yeah - I should sell it.
