Is it REALLY safe to wear my combat sub in the ocean? And if so, what do I do after to make sure it doesn’t cause any damage. I’m not worried about anything but the moveable parts and the movement. Is the screw down crown adequate? This is my forever watch so I’m not worried about anything but making sure I don’t damage the internals
So I got a new glycine and it ended up having a bigger lug to lug than I expected, 22 not 20, and I have a jubilee that I think would look amazing on it. How much of a faux pas would it be to just put the jubilee on the 22mm spring bars? Have any of you ever done this, at least temporarily?
Just ordered from them for the first time, got the GL0185 I’ve been eyeing (weekly markdown, it felt like a sign 😂) How have y’all’s experiences with them been? how’s their customer service and how quick do they ship? My first and only other glycine came from Ashford and they are a hard act to follow, they were great.
Does anyone here have this model, and if so, how do you like it? I have the GL0522 41mm and really thinking I want the GL0185. I like the look of the 24 hour numbers. Something about this model looks more militaristic than my current, which I think looks more like a vintage dive watch. Would love yalls thoughts and experiences if you have this or both
Finally got my Angus J late last week and today was first chance to get it sized…I’m even more in love with my box ceramic combat sub than I was when I got it, and that’s saying a lot. Due to case shape, I can’t imagine another watch looking as good with a universal band as this one. Total quality feel, can’t say enough good things about Glycine OR Strapcode. I’m glad I got the NATO strap variant of the combat sub because I heard the glycine bracelet was substandard. Luckily, Strapcode has a very well deserved reputation and Im now added to the masses who swear by them.
P.S. the watch isn’t digging into my arm, im extra vascular right now so the bulge you see in the last pic is the veins
Finally got the strapcode bracelet for my GL0522, just need to get it sized. I have a set of small screwdrivers at home, but I worry about scratching the links if I try to do it myself. Otherwise, this is what it looks like on a bracelet! Looks complete finally!
I’ve had my GL0522 for a little over a month now and have been awaiting my chosen aftermarket bracelet for nearly as long. I chose this model combat sub in part because I’d seen mixed reviews on the glycine bracelet and this one was cheaper with the NATO style strap. Originally considered an island brand universal oyster style but changed my mind to the strapcode angus J. Ordered in late July and was awaiting shipment, which finally occurred today. The last pic is one of someone else on here that has the combo that inspired me. Anyone else here have a combat on a jubilee? Let’s see em!
I know I shouldn’t be completely sad about it and I know it could’ve been way worse and I know these things are gonna happen…but this is the first one. I banged it against the cabinet handle and if you look at the 40 on the bezel you can see where some of the gilt paint got scratched off. Luckily the bezel itself of ceramic so no worries there. Give me your best advice/admonishment for being upset
Considering getting a jubilee style bracelet for my combat sub, any of you guys rocking that combo? And if so, show me some pics so I can figure out if it’ll work

Hello all, I received my GL0522 on Friday and have been in love with it from the moment I opened the package. It’s my first Swiss watch and I feel like the value for the price I paid at Ashford is second to none. I do have a question though and I hope I’m just being paranoid. I can hear the watch whir slightly when I move my wrist quickly or excessively. I immediately googled whether this was normal or not and it seems that another post here on Reddit said the movement which is GL224 based on the sellita SW200-1 can be heard with certain types of movement. But I also saw that someone else said that might be a sign of a loose rotor. Basically I’m asking do y’all hear your rotor move? Should I be worried? Thanks in advance!
What are we thinking about the waffle strap vs the original nylon strap for this combat sub 41? Also considering a MFN black with red stripe. Awaiting a universal Long Island oyster style, just running through options on hand in the meantime
Looking at purchasing the combat sub 41mm, which has a 20mm lug to lug. The watch comes on a NATO style strap but I’m wondering if there are any bracelets that will fit it? Glycine’s website doesn’t offer a 20mm option, just a 22mm for the larger 42mm combat sub. It looks like the area between the lugs is flat, but I don’t have any hands on experience with the watch. Part of what I want in a dive watch is the bracelet, but this one fits my budget and I feel like is as large as I’m willing to go, plus I like the dial layout with the date at 6 o’clock. Any experience/help would be appreciated
Recently sold my last diver while thinning out my collection and I’d like to replace it with a combat sub 39. I found ashford, and of course glycine’s site. Any other places I should look?
So you could call this a Hamilton khaki field mechanical homage but technically it’s the ggw-113 design which isn’t exclusively Hamilton’s. I feel like if you’re into that watch, this might be a budget friendly alternative unless you’re wanting the Hamilton for the historical significance. This one has a screw down crown and sapphire glass. I’m still saving for the KFM in bronze but this see scratches the itch for that iconic look. I also feel like this one is better than the Militado ML07 because that’s VH31 while this is automatic. Very happy with my newest addition, just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is considering getting one.
Passing the time watching the matches, waiting to see America play later. What’re yall sporting today?
Or am I the asshole
I’m kinda torn on which of these two I should get, they’re both homages to the khaki field mechanical, bronze and PVD coated cases, respectively. Does anyone have either of these? Obviously the only difference is the case since it’s the same model
