We teamed up with Glycine to put our own twist on one of its best sellers, the Combat Sub. This collaboration is Glycine’s first-ever GMT, and it’s here in a style you won’t find anywhere else.

"This collaboration is Glycine’s first-ever GMT"

The watch looks fine, but Glycine's been doing GMTs for a (long) while now.

Maybe it's the first time they've done one with a bi-color, "Rolex style" bezel.

Must have meant "Coffee" effect there like you said Terry. :thumbsup:

Really looks sharp that is for sure sir, and am not sure what is nicer,
the actual design, or the price. :o ..Can't find anything not to like
about them to tell the truth. Thanks a lot for the look !

Quote is 'glycine-combat' so, bit more specific.

Either way, looks good and price is good too.

I’ve been spoiled by the two independently adjustable hour hand affordable GMT’s I own (Alpina and Certina). Both were acquired new (grey market) for less than the asking price of this Glycine.

I still like the 2893-2 movement. The examples I’ve owned have been very accurate and reliable. If you don’t travel much and just want to track another time zone, they work well.

If you bounce around a bit, that jump hour function is really convenient.

A Combat Sub GMT for $589?? I'm really not sold on the price. I don't think a GMT movement will be an additional $200 or more.

I'm curious: What other GMT do you think is a better value?

I think these look really good. Even at 42mm, with that thickness, would work fine on my puny wrist. I'm not offended by the price either, not that I've done a ton of looking, but can't think of many automatic GMT's in that price range.
