I had zero issues with their communication
Both Nicolas and David were very responsive and their email updates were right on. The quality of my watch is on par with the price I paid but like anything else it could improve. Overall, I cannot complain.
Where is Yema’s place in this site?
Used to be owned by Seiko. Is it an independent? ...
Yema is amongst de first few dive watches, not only...
and for many sports related activities, as well as space conquest. I like seeing them being back sort of strong, I find some of the new models attractive, interesting, price digest and mechanically sound. Let’s see how they will continue progression. Back...
So it should be in seiko sub forum?
Or in independents? Or is there a sub forum for watches in general or all other watch brands? Or is it the horological meandering sub foru’?
I believe the Seiko era covers only a few years of Yema history.
I am sure a moderator or a WPS more experience user will advice you soon.
Why is Yema also called the Seiko of Europe?
Because of the ownership before? Or they share same qualities?
Yep, HoMe is the general section for watch discussions and for all (non-independent) brands without a dedicated subforum.
The definition of independent is of course not rigid or unanimous (personally, I even consider Patek as an independent! ;-), but at least when a brand is owned by a group, the general consensus is it doesn't qualify. It looks like Yema is not under Seiko ...
Seems it is now part of a watch group
From wikipedia: Founded in 1948 in Besançon (Doubs) by Henry Louis Belmont. The evolution of the brand is punctuated by: The anti-shock watch in the 1950s; The Yema Superman waterproof to 300 meters in 1963; The Yema Rallygraf equipped with a tachometer f...
I looked it up and Alviero Martini is part of the group, but I wasn't even aware it was selling watches...
The only reason why I know this brand is that they had a huge store right in the middle of the main "popular" shopping street in Genova (called via XX Settembre), where they would display all kinds of leather products for women (their products are very re...
You have to lock the bezel before you go in the water?
Or can you do it in the water?

I came across a bad series,
my watch was delivered to me with an asymmetrical case, no lugs were of the same size and shape, so I sent it the first time for a change of case. Then she had to distribute two more times to after-sales service for a problem with the oscillating mass on ...
I'm the Seiko moderator and I never knew anything about Seiko owning Yema
As far as I knew, it was a French company. Cazalea ...
