Beautiful watch. The lander is pretty cool too.

VERY VERY coool! Love the 50th Omega Speedmaster Professional.

What can you guys tell me about the Glycine Combat Sub? How is the quality? The movement seems to be based off the ETA 2824-2/ SW-200 so it should be good to go right? I found one with a dial I really like and the thin size of the watch is quite tempting.

Glycine is now owned by Invicta. I have not direct knowledge as to how this has affected quality.

Check on Amazon and watch forums (i.e., watchuseek).

I know this is supposed to be a picture thread, but you all seem exceptionally knowledgeable about the watch subject so here’s my next question. How reliable are online watch resellers like Bob’s Watches and Crown & Caliber?

Polyester verses polyamide on a new to me Hamilton khaki. Thanks vthoky!

Looks great, stickman, and it will serve you well.
Enjoy!

Bob's has a good reputation, although I haven't dealt with them.

I don't think you can generalize - investigate each on the well-known watch fora.

Just caught this on Antiques Roadshow. Seems appropriate for this thread. Really happy for the fellow.

Unbelievable! Would love to see a follow up story on this one and find out if he sells like you said.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Cheers, and that is a cool watch.

That is one phenomenal Rolex watch! Congrats airman!

Many of you are very knowledgable when it comes to what movements are in various watches. Can someone point be to a good tutorial on this subject? Thanks.

Study this first.

^^^ Wow, nothing like easing me into it, Marzy!

Here, just look at the movements and see how many are based off ETA.

You will notice many, many are actually ETA supplied movements and the super expensive ones, they make themselves.

Have fun!

I'll just stick to Patek in the future.

The gnomon exclusive version won me over. I decided to see firsthand how the Glycine Combat Sub stacks up against my other divers. Being a part of Invicta isn’t a huge issue for me. I’ve beaten the absolute hell out of one of my Invicta NH35A/Seiko powered divers and have been pleasantly surprised by the robustness of the watch.

The combat sub comes in at 10.6mm thick, Yes you read that right it is only ten point six millimeters thick. Quite a skinny diver compared to the competitors in the same price range. To be honest though the sand dial and unique 3,6,9 & 4 o’clock date window won me over to the watch.

So far I like it.
