are you craving a vintage diver and have 1200 to spend well you can have the yema superman
1963 or you can have the seiko spb 143 both originating from the 60s but remade for modern
times but which one is better let's find out first off pricing 100 difference 63 mass 1200 usd and
the yemen superman 10.99 usd so let's throw out pricing right now but which one of these gives you
more watch for the money we're gonna have a quick look at those specs the superman is thinner at 13
63 mass 13.3 and the superman also has a taller boxed sapphire crystal so in reality it is
maybe a mill thinner because the boxed sapphire on the 63 mass is very minor lug to lug both around
48 and the dimensions 39 versus 40.5 and the crowns 6.3 6.4 these watches are very similar in
dimension both from the 60s both with that vintage charm but the weight 179 grams on the 63 mass the
superman with all the links 127. huge difference and you can feel it definitely on the wrist for
all day comfort i do prefer a lighter feel when we look at the design of these two beauties the seiko
definitely has a sportier vibe with its all brushed case but there is a high polished bevel
that travels across the case quality on the case is fantastic and it feels solid the yema's design
is the exact opposite the whole case is completely polished however the bezel the top hat portion and
the bracelet is brushed but the case all polished overall it presents dressier than the seiko and
has a standout design that grabs more attention with that dynamic layered case a ton of dimension
very playful which one are you guys gravitating towards the more dressier option with the dynamic
look or the more sporty stern clean cut look of the seiko the bracelets are also very different
the yamas is ultra thin look at those links 19 down to 16 solid end links solid links push pins
squared off jubilee look brushed on the flanks looks absolutely gorgeous love the contrast
between the high polished lugs it has a friction fit fold over with dive extension
and four micro adjusts all right this thing doesn't really close very good this fold over
and look at the links of the yema look at that these are the links i removed and they just
articulate to perfection when i wear my yema i find it extremely comfortable the seiko very
different vibe here still solid end links and solid links but this time it's male end links
not a fan of that pins and collars ultra thick and heavy bulky oyster style links now it looks like
three piece but it's only two-piece articulation decent but not as good as the yema's the operation
of the clasp is much more refined the fold-over very nice and we got twin button release fully
milled that is a much better experience than the friction fit lift lock of the yemo but the dive
extension on the seiko seems like that one belongs on the original 60s model they did not update that
yet on my six and a half inch wrist the seiko wears absolutely perfect i do wish it was a bit
thinner to give it that premium feel even more the superman is thinner and i wear a little bit higher
on my wrist gives it a little bit more swag and has a nice lean to it it absolutely feels
more vintage on the wrist than the seiko the seiko really does well on a leather strap i know diver
leather but it just looks so professional it can even pass for a bond watch it's gorgeous on
leather okay we're going to quickly check them out on the timegrapher we do have the 6r 35 70 hours
hack and wine automatic 216 vph so you are getting a low beat you're not getting the medium beat
of the yema a little bit of a disadvantage there i prefer a higher beat always it's like having
more horsepower of course i wish all my watches were 36 000 true high beat like grand seikos
but uh you know those are expensive so as we can see here we're going to ignore the first number at
negative three the fourth and final round negative eight pretty strong amplitude little bit of error
so that is actually within spec okay now let's check out the superman we have the sellita sw200
288 vph 26 joules hack and wine automatic only 38 hours of power reserve
all right much less than the sago but look at the rate zero milliseconds error strong
amplitude zero negative two negative two negative two let's ignore the first number and the fourth
and final round negative one now when we look at the history seiko has a more illustrious history
with world firsts and unbelievable contributions to horology yema does have history they are from
1948 and they've been to space so decent history but not equal to seiko's history but you can be
proud to wear any one of these two watches for sure the yema 100 less and has a nice swiss
movement it seems very compelling and remember yema sells direct to consumer right on their
website you can also get a decent discount on seikos so you can factor that in but yema because
they sell direct they also have a discount program if you buy i think two yemas two or three you get
25 off your next purchase they have a tier system and a reward system so it's like being loyal to an
ad and then you get discounts from them if you're in the market for a vintage diver remade which one
