Glycine Combat Sub

Ontario So this has been my you know, long-term review of this watch. It's really hard to think of any negatives now that I've come to appreciate it m...

Uh, I suspect these will take a hit, You know I paid 568 for it.

I just recently picked up this Glycine Combat Sub from another redditor. The pebbled dial on this thing is amazing and I think its definitely my favourite of the combat sub variants. It brings a bit of a Black Bay, Submariner, and Explorer vibe all thrown together for something that is extremely eye catching.

Purchased this model from Costco for $300. What you get is a Sellita 200-1 movement, sapphire crystal, 60-click bezel, and a nice NATO strap. This is already a pretty good deal at the price point, as most microbrand watches at this (and even higher) price points use the Seiko 4R36/NH35 movement whil...

Description: For $350 you can get the Glycine Combat Sub from a Swiss brand with real history in watchmaking. Arguably the best dive watch under $500, I think the Glycine is good competition to the Seiko and Orient divers around this price. It comes with a sapphire crystal, 200m water resistance, lume, and the workhorse eta 2824 movement. I also really like how this diver has its own unique identity and doesn't try to pay homage to the submariner.

I purchased this on a whim. I have expensive watches but, because of increased crime, I am very careful about wearing them all the time. Under very strict Swiss law, you cannot produce a watch as “Swiss Made” without meeting many rigorous standards. This watch is very cheap to meet those standards. ...

This came yesterday and I’m beyond impressed. After wearing the same Glycine Combat Sub for five years, I was ready for a change.

The insignia on my watch is the generic white outline W and not the eagle pictured. There was a price tag on it $1045 so I got a great deal

A Glycine Combat sub is basically a tool/field/military/dive watch combination all in one watch, and you can pick one up for $300-400. There is nothing special about the steel that will prevent dings. But honestly, I use mine like a tool and if it has some dings after a few years, that's either character or if it bugs me, I'll buy a new one.

Enter the Glycine Combat Sub. Crazy thin at under 11mm, 200m WR, entry-level Swiss automatic movement, honest to god brand heritage (although currently owned by Invicta Group, as far as I know the feared dip in quality has not come to pass). The best part IMO are the [field watch and [unusual Edit: I should say that that thinness makes for a bezel that is harder to grip than most, it’s a trade-off.
