    This may be the best watch for the cost I have ever experienced

    Phenomenal for the money. Here in the UK we get hammered with tax and shipping which is a shame but if they did the 36mm for that price I would bite! Ashford have some amazing deals.

    • @WATCHingJames

      I’ve been looking at the 39mm as well. But it does not appear to be available at these prices. Which is disappointing.

    2:57 yeah, my Combat Sub 39 gilt is 30 atmos yet is only 11.2mm thick. Fantastic little watch

    I have a 300 M Glycine Combat Sub Two Tone….& 36 mm. I have a small wrist so with a Sellita SW200-1 motor that runs

      There is a 36mm version….. I think I’ll have to do some research on these before doing the review.
      Thanks for WATCHing

    Great video. I have the black and red combat sub gmt and it is a hidden gem compared to my Seiko GMT which is only 100m water resistant. It made me go back and purchase the Airman GMT. Great value for a LOT of watch.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I continue to be impressed by it. I’m trying to find the smaller version to buy for myself.
      But they are not as budget friendly as this one.

    They are a nice unit. I have the GL0275 at 46mm (8.25" wrist) which is a 300m diver and the lovely detail and slimness are nice attributes. The ratcheting mechanical feel of the crown is one of the most satisfying things about it. I like the bezel colour of yours, especially in the outdoor shots.

    • @WATCHingJames

    Agreed they are amazing for the price. I got carried away 2 years ago and have three. GL0076 (grey), GL0077 (blue) and full black out (GL0079, i think). They fit my approx 7 in wrist fine due to thinness and curved lugs but I think I'd love the newer 39 version for the smaller dial face. I also would prefer more taper on the bracelet but as you said the bracelet is really good.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would love to get one of the 39s. But I don’t think they can be found in this price range.

    It's actually invicta that gave them a big financial spring, we hate that they bought Glycine but we can thank them for getting Glycines at such a low price than usual and normal.

      @@WATCHingJames Me as well, i'm blown away by the quality, it looks like a $2000 timepiece, i own the GL0338, which is the combat sub 36mm. Glycine has only bought them, they are still manufactured and worked on in Switzerland.

    I have the combat chronograph, fantastic watch. I got it from Ashfords as well $200 usd. I did have some drama with the delivery though. The watch went missing for a while and only reappeared when I put an inside contact at the courier company on the case. I have to say Ashfords printing “Swiss watch” all over the packaging was probably a dumb idea. 🤨

    I have the 46mm one and love it. It is one of my most worn watches in my collection. I got it for less than $300 USD a few years ago and you can't beat it for that money. Glycine make some great watches for the money. I have three in my collection.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  ปีที่แล้ว +1
