One of the most underrated swiss brands, the combat sub is one of my dailies and I love it, of course this constant and repeat sales are not good for the brand reputation but that's how INVICTA works and at the end of day Glycine watches are probably the best swiss watches for the money so why complain 😊
Swiss-Made = 60% of the cost is Swiss and must have a Swiss movement/caliber. I know some people may not like 40% of the cost is made else where (China?) but I don't see anybody complain on other microbrands watches.
@@1968gadgetyo What I want to know is, what exactly qualifies as a Swiss movement? I've seen Stuhrling advertise watches with a "Swiss" movement, the Claro 888, which is actually a Seagull ST-16 slightly modified in Switzerland. It just makes me wonder, how Swiss are Swiss movements these days? Does the movement itself only have to have 60% of its "value" come from Switzerland?
Great video. You should review the combat sub gmt quartz. I’ve almost pulled the trigger on it in the past, but there aren't a ton of reliable reviews available. Thanks!
I bought this watch 2 years ago at Ashford. It's a great watch. OK you simply must be lucky with the bracelet, because there are no half links. Because Ashford or Jomashop comes from the US, you have to pay duties in Europe, so the price will go up. But even €300,- is an absolute bargain. Sold out now, so yes, acting fast is not a joke. Incredible quality for this price.
Great looking watch! Well done video! I wonder if the butterfly clasp with no half links is from Invicta's influence. Shameful on an otherwise sweet watch.
Some high end watches not always include half links, the latest $12K IWC Ingenieur comes to mind 🙂 so I wouldn't blame it on Invicta solely 🙂 Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
@Mystery_Man84 Doubt it, unfortunately. However you can try to setup a notification alarm (email) from Jomashop on this listing. I did have some luck with such notifications in the past.
I THOUGHT there was a fault with mine as, on reset, the minute timer revolves 24 times before stopping!. I've just seen yours do the same thing!!!!!! Can you PLEASE explain what is going on?! Beside that I love the watch. Thanks for the info. It was a big influence. I have the all-white dial. If they were any cheaper I'd get the blue and the black too. Great design.
Thank you for sharing! Btw I'm wearing mine right now as I'm typing this :-). In regards to the minute register spinning on reset, it is a bit peculiar and I will try to find out some more information, however there is no need to wait for it to settle before you can restart the chronograph. That is, once the second hand is in zero position the chrono is ready to go and the minute register will catch up. Hope this helps 🙂👍
@@ShinyThings Thank you. I have since seen the same behaviour on another RU-vid video. I did ring Glycine who said they would ring me back but they never did.
I've always appreciated Glycine (going back to their pre-Invicta days). But that's not a knock on them (I own many Invicta models). I particularly like the Airpilot 44mm GMT. Thanks for the review!
I do think b-type fliegers look a bit more interesting, however the IWC 43MM pilot chronograph is an A-type, and is still good looking 😎 so possibly if Glycine made one I would still buy it. Thank you for watching! 🙂👍
Great video as usual. This watch looks great, and Glycine is a cool slightly underrated brand when it comes to Swiss watches. For this price I would seriously consider it. Sadly though it's too big for me. Would be a perfect gift to my younger brother though, since he has wrists that "need" 44mm watches.
got the Airpilot chronograph on a leather band. Stopped into an Omega AD and the salesperson helping me actually thought it was an IWC at first. He was quite impressed
It’s a nice watch, the style is great and it’s great value, it’s just another clumping great plate on the wrist sadly. I would have bought one if not for the 53mm lug to lug. It’s too big for my flat 6.85inch /17cm wrist. I can just about get away with 51mm length.
Wow! Such a nice timepiece. I just checked the prices, as the time of this comment most all of the Glycine watches are between 70 to 88% off. What a bargain literally a "steal" Thank you for the heads-up.
Glycine is criminally underrated. I own two Steel Combat Subs and a bronze Combat Sub GMT. The total cost of all three those automatic watches was less than $1200. The lume is crappy, but if you can look past that, the Glycine range is brilliant.
The chronograph keeps on running past 30 minutes, so it basically runs until you stop it, unlike Seiko VK63 which will stop once the registers hit the maximum reading. Hope this helps.
@@ShinyThings Yes, thank you. I have 2 Citizen pilot style chronographs with 60 minute counters. the one with the ECO drive stops recording after the 60 minutes are up. The non Eco drive quartz keeps recording after the 60 minutes are up which I find much more useful. This one also has a 12 hour totalizer which does not appear to be available with the Eco drive.
I love your channel, I have a 7" wrist, do you think it will fit well on my wrist? ... I only wear silicone or leather straps , no stainless steel for me. Your honest opinion, please.
Yes, there's is tax to pay for UK imports. I recommend to use Jomashop's tax prepay service, which is available at checkout. Roughly, the final amount works out to be about the same in GBP as the watch price in USD. I.e. for a $199 watch the total amount will be about £199. That is unless the gbp/usd exchange rate changes 🙂 Hope this helps.
I don't know about that, but what I do know is just by looking at the two smaller dials and hands I can see it has way more detail than a Baltany and that's no even including the top chronograph button and the crown detail.
A cheap Pagani that looks expensive made out of stainless steel, Sapphire glass and a quality Seiko mecca quartz. Perhaps this looks like a expensive overpriced Swiss watch so therefore a bargain. Actually it looks like both!
