The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

My review of the SERICA 5303 PLD

I just received my SERICA 5303 PLD, and it's a truly wonderful surprise. A genuine French diver's watch, born from a collaboration between SERICA and the French Navy's mine clearance divers, hence the acronym PLD ("Plongeurs de la Défense," or "Defense Divers"). This model was designed with them, for them, and it shows: every detail exudes functionality and robustness.

SERICA is a young French brand, founded in Paris in 2019, that is reviving the spirit of classic "tool watches": simple, reliable, timeless, and elegant. I really appreciate this philosophy: focusing on the essentials, with a genuine commitment to quality, but without the exorbitant prices of major brands.

This 5303 PLD is a real gem. Its 39mm case is perfectly proportioned, yet it feels even more compact on the wrist, making it incredibly comfortable. The ceramic bezel is superb, with its subtle magnetic feel and crisp click. The Milanese bracelet gives it a chic and versatile style, but I also wear it on a blue elastic strap, which lends it a sportier, more casual look.

I wasn't particularly used to this type of watch in my collection, but what really convinced me was the personal interaction. Thanks to Xavier on the DIALICIOUS platform, with whom I had many conversations, I was able to discover the brand and make a confident decision. It's this kind of experience that makes you want to continue supporting these small, passionate watchmakers.

Frankly, I realize I'm gradually moving away from big brands with their absurd prices. With SERICA, you get a well-designed French watch, full of authenticity and meaning, at a fair price. And that's rare these days.

My opinion on the SERICA 5303 PLD

🌊 Rolex Submariner 126610LV: Green Magic on the Wrist 🌊

There are watches that go beyond mere accessories. Pieces that tell a story, embody expertise, and become icons. The Rolex Submariner 126610LV is part of this very select circle. Today, I can finally say that it has found its place on my wrist, and it's a true joy to share this experience.

The Rolex Heritage

Created by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex has become, over the course of a century, synonymous with watchmaking excellence. Technical innovation, timeless design, and unfailing reliability: each model bears a piece of this legend. The Submariner, launched in 1953, was the first diver's watch water-resistant to 100 meters. It paved the way for generations of adventurers, professional divers, and style enthusiasts.

The Submariner isn't just a watch: it's a cultural symbol. It's been seen on the wrists of divers exploring the depths, movie icons like James Bond, and discerning collectors who know it combines robustness and elegance.

A mesmerizing aesthetic

The 126610LV, sometimes nicknamed the "Starbucks" or the descendant of the famous "Kermit," takes this aesthetic even further. Its black dial shines as if capturing the sunlight at every moment. But the real magic is this green ceramic bezel. Rolex has given this color an unprecedented depth: sometimes dark, sometimes vibrant, sometimes even close to a luminous grass green. A play of color that makes it unique, almost alive.

Every look at this bezel is different. And that's where the Submariner LV seduces: it always surprises, it never tires.

Sporty and chic

What fascinates me about this Submariner is its dual nature. On the one hand, it's a true tool watch: 41 mm in diameter, guaranteed water resistance up to 300 meters, a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring dive times, and the legendary brushed Oyster bracelet with its Glidelock clasp that allows for millimeter-accurate adjustments. It's a watch designed for professionals, for extreme situations.

On the other, it's a piece of rare elegance. Slim under a shirt, refined in all circumstances, it transitions from the underwater world to a formal dinner party without a hitch. Few watches manage to balance this great divide between pure sport and absolute chic.

Exemplary technical performance

Under its Oystersteel case beats the caliber 3235, a manufacture automatic movement that offers a 70-hour power reserve, formidable precision, and enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The blue Parachrom hairspring, the Chronergy escapement, and the optimized architecture make it a reliable engine, designed to last.

Every technical detail exudes mastery: the Chromalight-filled indexes and hands ensure perfect readability in the dark, the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the Triplock crown guarantees water resistance even in the most extreme conditions.

An Icon to Own

The Rolex Submariner 126610LV isn't just a watch you wear: it's a watch you live. Every moment spent with it on your wrist reminds you why it is one of the most sought-after watches on the market. It has that rare ability to blend emotion, heritage, and technology.

For the enthusiast in me, it's a must-have piece in any collection. A living icon, which speaks to watch enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful things alike. It is sporty, technical, but also refined and timeless.

Conclusion: A Watchmaking Bomb

It's difficult to put into words what you feel when you strap a Submariner LV to your wrist. It's a visual and emotional bomb. It captures the light, attracts attention, but above all, it inspires the wearer.

With the 126610LV, Rolex has created a watch that transcends time, retaining its identity while reinventing itself. For me, it's much more than an acquisition: it's a companion, a piece of life, a constant reminder that perfection sometimes exists... and that it's worn on the wrist.

The Green Magic Rolex Submariner 126610LV

TUDOR presents a BOMBASSE 🤩🚀

The Black Bay 54 is the most representative example of the first TUDOR diver's watch, the reference 7922. The 37 mm case retains the same proportions as before, while benefiting from the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and water resistance to 200 m, technical feats.

HISTORICAL PROPORTIONS AND TECHNICAL PROWESS

The Black Bay 54 model is the model closest, aesthetically speaking, to the first TUDOR diver's watch, the reference 7922. Offered with a 37 mm case, it retains the general proportions of its source of inspiration while being equipped with the high-performance Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and water resistance to 200 m. A characteristic element and faithful to the aesthetics of the period, the unidirectional bezel does not have a minute graduation. However, the aesthetic details do not stop at the dimensions of the case and the bezel. The seconds hand, with its round luminous disc, evokes the appearance of the hand of the original model. The ergonomics have also evolved with a redesigned crown and bezel, but which nevertheless retain the historical spirit.

A DIVE INTO THE PAST

The spirit of Black Bay is part of the history of the brand. The Black Bay line has always highlighted iconic elements of old TUDOR diver’s watches, but the Black Bay 54 is perhaps the closest model to a specific historical piece created to date. The Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922, one of the first modern diver’s watches, is a great source of inspiration since it is known to have been evaluated and then adopted by the French and American Navies as well as widely used by the pioneers of professional diving. The first versions of the reference 7922 featured a “small crown”, but not yet the red triangle at 12 o’clock, which would later become one of the brand’s signatures. These details gave it a refined and understated aesthetic. The Black Bay 54 is faithful to its model and takes up a large number of distinctive details. The minute hand, for example, in addition to adjusted proportions, is beveled at its base, as on the 1954 model. The second hand is as close as can be to the original. The profile of the bezel ring is also faithful to that of the reference 7922, as are the markings on its aluminum insert. The Black Bay 54 also features resolutely modern touches, such as a satin-sun dial and a “T-fit” clasp for a perfect fit and, of course, the Manufacture Caliber MT5400, a concentrate of high-performance watchmaking technology.

A perfection…

BLACK BAY 54 DIVING INTO THE PAST

🇫🇷 PEQUIGNET Attitude 39 mm Viper — the luxury of French precision.

Today, I'm talking about a watch that holds a very special place in my collection: the PEQUIGNET Attitude 39 mm, certified Viper by the Besançon Observatory.

An exclusive piece, limited to just 50 examples worldwide, entirely handcrafted.

At first glance, it's the very definition of elegance:

an opaline white dial, which at times takes on delicate vanilla hues, an alligator strap, and a folding clasp adorned with the fleur-de-lis. The crown, engraved with the same symbol, underscores its 100% French identity.

Simplicity, balance, efficiency.

Beneath this refinement lies an exceptional movement: the Initial® manufacture caliber, designed and assembled in Morteau.

• Power reserve: 65 hours

• Frequency: 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations/hour)

• Bidirectional winding and stop-seconds function

• Water resistance: 50 m

• Sapphire crystal case back revealing the beauty of the in-house movement

And the accuracy? Simply remarkable: less than one second of deviation per day. A French mechanical watch with such precision is extremely rare.

But this watch is not just about performance.

Its Viper 🐍 certification, awarded by the Besançon Observatory, makes it a truly exceptional chronometer.
Only 50 watches in the world bear this hallmark, obtained after 15 days of testing in 5 positions and at 3 temperatures (8°, 23°, 38°C).

Seven accuracy criteria are evaluated, including average rate, stability, thermal resistance, and timekeeping efficiency.

Each validated watch receives an individual performance certificate, a symbol of absolute excellence.

I acquired it at Bijouterie Clouzeau in Pithiviers (45), from Stéphane, a true enthusiast and ambassador for the PEQUIGNET brand.

This encounter transformed into a genuine initiation into French watchmaking.

And in a way, I believe this watch marks a turning point in my horological quest.

Perhaps the end of a simple search for objects and the beginning of a deeper, more authentic exploration, made up of sensations, expertise, and human stories.

A natural transition towards a more sincere, more vibrant form of watchmaking.

👉 The Pequignet Attitude is much more than a timepiece: it's a state of mind, an emotion, an experience. 🇫🇷

✨ TUDOR Black Bay Harrods – London's exclusive diver's watch ✨

Today, I'm talking to you about a very special piece from my collection: the Tudor Black Bay 41 mm – Harrods Edition.
A watch that can only be found in London, in the legendary Harrods store, and which perfectly embodies the Tudor DNA.

🔹 Technology and Performance
• 41 mm case, water-resistant to 200 meters, faithful to the spirit of Tudor divers.
• Chronometer-certified manufacture movement, robust and precise.
• Harrods green aluminum bezel, with that unique khaki tone that makes all the difference.
• Iconic "snowflake" hand, with a green tip, in harmony with the 200 m inscription on the dial.
• Indexes and hands treated with Super-LumiNova, for perfect readability, even at depths.

🔹 An exclusive design
Its slightly grayed black dial blends perfectly with this unique touch of green, recalling the Harrods identity. It's a watch that asserts its character, without having anything to envy from its cousin, the Submariner.

🔹 An acknowledged drawback
At 14.7 mm thick, the Black Bay Harrods can seem a little bulky. But mounted on the 5-link "grain of rice" bracelet of my 41 mm Black Bay Chronomètre pink, the balance changes completely: the watch gains in comfort, elegance, and presence.

💬 The Black Bay Harrods is a piece of modern Tudor history, a watch for enthusiasts, rare, elegant, and full of personality.

🌏 Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” – Two-tone elegance on the wrist 🌎

There are watches that go beyond their utilitarian function to become legendary. The Rolex GMT-Master II is one of them: a watch born in the sky, designed for pilots, adopted by travelers, and now reinvented in a new and elegant version, the “Bruce Wayne,” with its black and gray ceramic bezel.

A watch born to conquer the skies ✈️

The story of the GMT-Master begins in 1955. At that time, intercontinental flights were booming with the growth of the American airline Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). Pilots had to juggle between local time and the time at their home base. Pan Am then asked Rolex to design a watch capable of displaying two time zones simultaneously.

Rolex responded with the GMT-Master, featuring a 24-hour hand and a two-tone rotating bezel. A precise navigation tool, it quickly became a benchmark for pilots, globetrotters, businessmen, and adventurers.

From the GMT to the GMT-Master II

In the 1980s, Rolex perfected its model with the launch of the GMT-Master II. The innovation: the ability to set the local time hand independently of the others. A revolution for travelers, who could thus track three time zones if necessary.

Over time, each bezel variation became iconic: the red and blue "Pepsi," the black and blue "Batman," the brown and black "Root Beer"... And today, the "Bruce Wayne," a more understated but equally charismatic interpretation.

The “Bruce Wayne”: Understated and Elegant

This new model captivates with its black and gray Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Deep black dominates the upper part, while light gray illuminates the lower part. This contrast gives the watch a rare elegance, less flamboyant than its colored counterparts, yet irresistibly modern.

The scratch-resistant and unalterable ceramic bezel reflects Rolex's technological mastery: the engraved numerals retain perfect legibility, and the tones remain intact over time and UV rays.

An Iconic and Refined Design

The 40 mm Oyster case embodies the perfect balance between robustness and comfort. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it offers ideal protection for a travel watch, designed to accompany its owner anywhere in the world.

The Oyster bracelet, with alternating polished and brushed links, adds both brilliance and solidity. It gives the watch a strong visual presence, sometimes a little shiny, but always elegant. This play of light underlines the versatile character of the GMT-Master II: both sporty and chic.

Technical Signatures

On the wrist, it's impossible not to notice:
• the green "GMT-Master II" inscription, a subtle nod that energizes the dial,
• the green GMT hand with a triangular tip, inherited from previous generations,
• the indexes and hands filled with Chromalight for optimal readability even in the dark.

Under the hood, we find the caliber 3285, a state-of-the-art manufacture movement. With a 70-hour power reserve, certified chronometric precision, and the robustness of a blue Parachrom hairspring, it embodies Rolex reliability.

Conclusion: A new icon

The Rolex GMT-Master II "Bruce Wayne" is not just another variation. It is a watch that embraces an understated, almost mysterious elegance, while retaining its DNA as a professional instrument.

With its black and gray bezel, 40mm case water-resistant to 100 meters, polished and brushed Oyster bracelet, and iconic green signatures, it has already established itself as a contemporary icon. A piece that will appeal to both discerning travelers and passionate collectors.

It's a heritage watch, a watch of passion, and above all, a watch that confirms that the legend of the GMT-Master is still very much alive.

 Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” 

Yema is born in Besan&ccedil;on (France) in 1948 under the drive of Henry-Louis Belmont, the brand established itself with robust tool watches aimed at diving, motorsport, aviation and even spaceflight, keeping a Franche-Comt&eacute; industrial footprint and a design identity that is immediately recognizable.
<h3>Superman and bezel-lock: a French take on the diver&rsquo;s tool</h3>
The brand&rsquo;s emblem, the 1963 Superman, introduced a bezel-locking device adjacent to the crown, designed to prevent accidental rotation underwater and turned into a signature detail of modern re-editions&mdash;a simple, legible solution that embodies the tool-watch brief while asserting angular casework and a very &ldquo;instrumental&rdquo; mid-case, resulting in confident wrist presence without sacrificing function.
Beyond the lock itself, alternating brushed and polished planes define crisp volumes, generous markers secure readability, and water-resistance targets real use, so the look flows from function; this coherence&mdash;often imitated in spirit but hard to reproduce in detail&mdash;anchors the Superman as the quintessential &ldquo;French diver,&rdquo; worn as much for its stance as for its endurance, with a technical signature instantly spotted by seasoned enthusiasts.
<h3>Rallye, Rallygraf, Meangraf, Yachtingraf: racing and regatta chronographs</h3>
In the 1960s&ndash;1970s, Yema produced graphic, highly legible chronographs linked to car racing (Rallye/Rallygraf, Meangraf) and sailing (Yachtingraf), with high-contrast dials and purposeful scales; the lineage lives on in current re-issues and in emblematic anecdotes, such as Mario Andretti&rsquo;s chronograph during the 1969 Indy 500, evidence that the brand accompanied real competitive use with simple, robust solutions built around readability in demanding conditions.
<ul>
<li>Yema Rallygraf &mdash; &ldquo;Racing&rdquo; spirit, contrasting sub-dials, clear markers.</li>
<li>Yema Meangraf &mdash; Bold 1970s codes, immediate legibility, strong graphics.</li>
<li>Yema Yachtingraf &mdash; Regatta timing features, nautical aesthetics.</li>
<li>Yema Flygraf &mdash; Pilot-oriented, purposeful field readability.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Spationaute and CNES: Yema&rsquo;s journey into space</h3>
On June 24, 1982, Jean-Loup Chr&eacute;tien, the first Frenchman in space, launched to Salyut 7 wearing a Yema Spationaute&mdash;recognized as the first Western European watch flown into orbit&mdash;kicking off a series tied to CNES missions; the episode bolsters the image of a broadly accessible brand meeting exacting briefs while fueling a national narrative where a wrist-borne instrument serves as a mission companion that is pragmatic, durable and symbolic at once.
Beyond the space anecdote, the point is continuity: an &ldquo;instrument&rdquo; mindset, contrasted hands and bezel, robustness prioritized over ornament, and respectful nods to period graphics; it is less the one-off feat than the way it permeates the collections that matters, with editions that recall the lineage without caricature so as to cultivate a technical memory serving modern-day use.
<h3>&ldquo;in-house&rdquo; movement path: MBP1000, YEMA2000/3000 and CMM.20</h3>
Industrially, Yema communicates a gradual strengthening of its own calibres: after MBP1000 (announced in 2011), YEMA2000 (three-hand) and YEMA3000 (GMT) update the base with an emphasis on precision and durability, then a &ldquo;CMM.20&rdquo; micro-rotor of manufacture grade crowns the range&mdash;conceived, developed and assembled in French workshops&mdash;an offer meant to combine accessibility and independence through a measured progression rather than a speculative leap.
In practice, these evolutions coexist with references powered by other suppliers depending on era and use; coherence across the lineup relies as much on case architecture and perceived quality as on the movement spec itself, so the buyer&rsquo;s key step is to define the need (three-hand, GMT, chrono) and weigh what each calibre brings in power reserve, accuracy and service, to secure a credible technical match to the intended use.
<h3>Relocalization, workshops and distribution: a Besan&ccedil;on&ndash;Morteau through-line</h3>
Geographic anchoring remains a cue: between historic Besan&ccedil;on and today&rsquo;s development/assembly in Morteau, the brand structures a value chain re-centered on Franche-Comt&eacute; while keeping targeted external partners&mdash;an organization aiming to secure skills and lead times and to better control quality upstream, in a spirit of industrial proximity and traceability of key operations.
On the distribution side, Yema blends direct sales with selected retailers and builds editorial context around re-issues (Superman 63, Navygraf, Rallygraf) and their updates; scarcity is not artificially staged but comes from reasonable volumes and production cycles, hence the value, for enthusiasts, of tracking availability windows and trying sizes at the right time to lock a choice that is informed, personal and grounded in real use.&nbsp;
<h3>Positioning and pricing: a clear-identity French tool-watch</h3>
Yema&rsquo;s stance is easy to read: tool watches with strong design at studied prices relative to spec (exact public ranges: not disclosed), options in steel, bronze, titanium or ceramic depending on the line, and stepping up via complications or in-house movements; the value equation lies in the balance of design/function and in the stated French industrial narrative, appealing to enthusiasts of characterful &ldquo;tools&rdquo; more than to seekers of overtly decorative luxury pieces.
Value in use, however, hinges on ownership fit: bracelet comfort, lug-to-lug, dial contrast, night legibility and water-resistance aligned with your activities; put differently, the right Yema is the one that disappears into the action&mdash;swimming, driving, flying, sailing&mdash;while keeping its aesthetic signature, which calls for trying multiple diameters and thicknesses to validate stable, morphology-friendly wearing comfort.
<h3>Choosing your Yema: sizing, context and care</h3>
Start by defining dominant use: daily versatility (Navygraf, &ldquo;skin&rdquo; Superman), nautical activity (Yachtingraf), automotive (Rallygraf/Meangraf), aviation (Flygraf); then confirm real-world size (diameter/thickness/lug-to-lug) and bracelet ergonomics, and arbitrate between a recent &ldquo;in-house&rdquo; calibre and a proven third-party option according to your technical appetite and service constraints&mdash;the aim being long-term coherence among style, function and maintenance.
<ul>
<li>Yema Superman &mdash; Emblematic diver, bezel lock, strong identity.</li>
<li>Yema Navygraf &mdash; High-contrast legibility, versatile marine spirit.</li>
<li>Yema Rallygraf &mdash; Racing codes, readable chronographs.</li>
<li>Yema Yachtingraf &mdash; Regatta indications, nautical styling.</li>
<li>Yema Flygraf &mdash; Pilot orientation, clear functional cues.</li>
</ul>
For care, follow service intervals and have water-resistance checked after any shock or opening; clean bracelet and bezel recesses regularly, and remember that precise adjustment and appropriate lubrication extend timekeeping stability&mdash;simple habits that underpin everyday performance over the long run.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Yema addresses enthusiasts who want expressive tool watches rooted in a French narrative and designed for use first&mdash;diving, road, cockpit or deck. You recognize them by crisp dials, forthright cases and design details that prioritize function. To decide, start from your real practice, refine by size and readability, then choose between heritage re-editions and contemporary interpretations. Finally, cross-check your pick with Dialicious customer reviews to validate long-term relevance.

Yema 🇫🇷 hits hard with this Superman Slim CMM.10, a real diver waterproof to 300 m, faithful to the brand's DNA. Its 39 mm case, perfectly proportioned, adapts ideally to the wrist, offering impeccable comfort. The ultra-readable ceramic bezel and the refined design bring a modern and elegant touch.

The great feature? Its sapphire crystal case back, which reveals the superb CMM.10 manufacture movement, a real pleasure for watchmaking enthusiasts!

And in terms of precision, it's serious: mine displays only -2 seconds per day, a remarkable performance.🤩

Special mention for the snakeskin effect bracelet and its neat buckle, which add character to the whole.
And what about the price? At this level, it's hard to find better. A real success from the French manufacturer, which I recommend without hesitation!

Five-year warranty!!!! 🤩

A real favorite!
