OK, OK, the Aussies get the best deal today, but it is still an awesome price for the rest of the world. And you know, some people prefer quartz ;) A Swiss diver for the price of a Pagani? It can be done. Cheers, Jody
If Glycine can line up the bezel on a $140 watch, why can't Seiko do it on a $1,000 watch? Looks like the second hand hits the indices too. Nice purchase Jody. I'm on my way over to the Ashford site now.
Because they're better than you imagine. Prices and money amounts are just numbers.
Casio can do it for $50. 😆
China can line one up for $50
My TAG swiss quartz diver is almost 30yrs old and still going strong. Not had an easy life either- replacement oem pressed clasp over 25years ago when it slowed my decent during unplanned stairway surfing.
I'm not the biggest tag fan but stories like these are heartwarming in a society of disposable everything.
@@LaurentiusTriariusMany 90s style TAGs were really "non traditional" but mine was classic diver and the first lumed dial i had ever seen and on sale. Got to say the satin finish case n bracelet resistance to signs of wear is excellent. I guess that Swiss quartz movements of that period where well made.
I have 2 Combat Sub autos and love them. Just the King of value. The automatic sold for $1,000 before Invicta purchased them in 2016 and they’re still the same great quality from a brand with tremendous heritage. If you want a tank of a Swiss diver without breaking the bank, look no further.
Sounds great. Kogan has the autos for $379.49.
I bought this watch a few months ago because I was looking for a quartz diver to use around electronics and in labs. Comparing several brands, I believe this is the best option in the $200 range. I really like Seiko and I have a few automatic ones, too bad they don't make a cool quartz diver like that and affordable. It is still incredible how this watch, in addition to being Swiss, is part of a brand with a lot of history like Glycine 👏💯
Check out the Seiko Prospex Solar Diver line, but it is more $.
I bought my GL0087 after seeing your Mortal Kombat video a few years ago when the automatics could be bought for USD319.It's the watch in my (smallish) collection I have not grown weary of and I still find its size, style and particularly thickness to be the perfect combination for me. I'm very glad I pulled the trigger on it.
Jody! i was about to buy the Combat sub until I got sidetracked and discovered the GL0434! Swiss quartz GMT, black case, inner rotating bezel, 100m, lovely orange pop of the GMT hand and second hand tip for the same price as the Combat sub!! I had to pull the trigger on this one! Thanks for helping me purchase my first Swiss watch for the price of a Pagani!! :D
I love Glycine. I have their elusive moonphase, and I've been eyeing the Airman for ages too. If I didn't have too many dive watches, I'd probably have a Combat Sub too. It comes in any size you could possibly want!
No such thing as too many dive watches. They are the most versatile watch made. I have at least a couple dozen and still keep buying more!
I have three Combats in my collection and can’t think of any other watch that gives you so much for so little. Enjoy it Jody!
I bought a Glycine Airman GMT (automatic) GL0067 from Ashford a couple of years ago for... 350usd. With shipping to EU and VAT it ended up costing about 450usd. For a gorgeous, swiss made GMT with a buttery smooth movement, date, display glass back, +2sec/day... To this day, my absolute by far best deal ever and one of my favourite watches. Glycine is brilliant (if the size fits you).
Costco has the combat automatic for $239. A real bargain as well.
Can't find one on their Australian website
@@TheJamie1965If someone says Costco, 99% of the time they're in the US. AUS Costco has very different products.
I've purchased from Ashford here in the US, they're a good supplier. Their prices tend to undercut Jomashop, but their selection isn't as broad; definitely worth cross-shopping for the best deal.
Great looking watch and nothing wrong in it being quartz ! What a great price too 👍
I recently found a combat sub auto on clearance at Costco for $239 US…love it
Glycine is very underrated and the quality is great. You should check the Airman next! I own a 40mm Airman with the 2892-A2 and it's amazing!
I would happily wear one. I like these quartz watches getting some attention and praise.
Hello Jody, I have a few divers in my collection and have had a Glycine Airman and now have a Glycine moonphase w/ dark blue dial. I love it and wear it as much as my seamasters, etc. I love the quality and design. I don't understand why people can't get over it being owned by Invicta. People are really missing out as you and I know. Let's k eep it a secret so that the prices don't in rease,ok?😊
Glycine are very underrated
I need a beater when I'm traveling. I left a limited edition Islander in a hotel room had to turn around it added 4 hrs to my travel time. Im getting one of these today.
Glycine is terribly great but they lost their shit for getting bought by "Invicta", which indeed played on their reputation.
I forgot to mention that Invicta only bought them and did not alter quality or interfere with Glycine, it is still 100% Swiss.
Naaa, they are ok so so watches. The look nice and all, but they are 150 dollar or less watches. The QC is bad.
@@amenhotep7704 Not true, I have one, Air Pilot, my Pagani Design has 10 better quality for much less than a Glycine.
These watches are not worth more than 150US if at most.
Adjustments are sloppy, as if handling a Sanda Temu watch. Notchy, not smooth, and when clipping in and out the hands jump a little making go off again.
Just another hustle watch.
The second hand hitting the mark perfectly every time is immensely satisfying
Thanks for the review. FYI Ashford indicates that they are an authorized dealer for Glycine (and the watches come with a manufacturer's warranty), which is not surprising since Glycine is owned by Invicta. I have resisted buying automatic watches because I don't want to have a bunch of watch winders stacked around the house so my watches are quartz or solar.
I'm a big solar quartz fan. I have 2 Casio Oceanus and 2 Seiko Solar JDMs that are radio controlled like the Oceanus. I have a couple autos just because I like their dials. Just bought the soda version of this.
Got the Green and rose gold in today, put it an a green leather strap and WOW. My Helm comes in on Tuesday after only 23 months. Jody is always costing me money and I'm somehow thankful for it.
Glycine makes great watches at prices that are beyond reasonable. My son and I own 3 Combat Subs between us, all autos. Great watches, tremendous bang for the buck.
Lol..."Just one more watch!" is what I keep telling my wife.
I got the Mido Multifort 38mm for $299 last Black Friday. Not bad for a Swiss automatic I’ve always liked. Being an AD for Glycine, Ashford is a good place to buy Glycine.
Well thanks J, I have just purchased myself a Glycine Combat Sub 42 Auto for 250 GBP including delivery!!!!!!
Totally agree! I got a 38mm automatic version on Ashford at US$400 a year ago and thought it was a good deal. Your deal is even sweeter!
You're comparing apples with oranges - this one is a quartz!
You know Jody, who is the owner company of Glycine ........yep your wright. Invicta! So there you have it, you bought a Invicta. I love Invicta! They also own S Coifman. And there a realy a ton of Invicta's with the ronda inside for the same price!
Amazing!
A quartz movement in which the second hand hits ALL the markers.
⌚😎🤙
Love Glycine watches ⌚
i have a vintage glycine airman sst my grandfather bought in Switzerland, really cool brand with cool history
Have two automatic Glycine Combat subs, including a bronze one that is in my rotation. To anybody that have automatic, may I suggest to shake them to get them going instead of winding, discovered the hard way a major problem with their movements; the ratchet wheel teeth break off.
Love them. And 100% agree with you on your advice. I also learned the hard way.
Thanks I'll remember that when I get mine..
Yep, the Sellita sw 200 does not like to be hand wound.
Does this apply to eta’s also?
Great content. My Glycine Combat Sub GMT bronze automatic is my go-to for almost every situation. Maybe shelve it when I'm hiking.
Lovely looking watch, it’s a dead ringer for my pre-bond omega seamaster 200.
I really like this watch, and I don’t have a Swiss made watch, so I’m going to have to find one in Evansville, Indiana. That’s not an easy process! Maybe I’ll order it, but I to have seen it in person.
Great looking watch and wow, what a bargain. I love the size, as I tend to lean towards the bigger watches. The quartz movement doesn't bother me as long as the second hand hits all the second marks, as this sample did. Enjoyed the review. Thanks for sharing.
Always wanted the orange one as you reviewed previously. However I’m wondering now if it may be a tad big, cannot argue with it’s slim profile though. Quartz or Auto a bloody great watch 👌
I am slowly transitioning more into quartz. This is a great find.
I have wanted to buy a Glycine for years. Used to see them a lot on Massdrop for $300 ish for autos. I just never was able to pick from the infinite color choices. I’m really tempted to get a quartz gmt now. I just have to settle on a color. I’m leaning towards the dark brown/red one.
I had that same problem, never did decide, really, really, really liked the orange one.. now there 400 and up.might go with one of these, but again, which color 🤬
I had 3 Hamiltons from Ashford, even after paying shipping and duty still a bargain! Have a sellita powered combat sub, fantastic quality and the buttery smooth screw down crown is the best I ever had.
What!!?!?!?! I just bought the automatic one yesterday!!! Why didn't this come out sooner!!! Now I have to go and get this one for my beater.
If I didn't already have 3 combat subs and an Airman I would have jumped on this deal. The one color setting I would have done is up range on cost... still tempting at 319
I have both the automatic and quartz versions of the Combat Sub, great watch!
I bought the GL0241 at Ashford for $350 some years ago. Love this watch.
Nice , I like the Combat Sub but I could only wear it on a strap. 150 grams + is too heavy for me for every day wear on the bracelet which is a shame. No problem with quartz . I think though I would rather pay slightly more and get a Citizen Eco drive Promaster 200 m dive watch and in the long run I can save money on the cost of the batteries although it won’t be massive . Those can be had at a discount for a little more than this and with the money saved on batteries and paying somebody to change it unless you do it yourself the cost is more or less the same . If you are not bothered by the weight , this is a great buy for the money I agree . Glycine should try and make these lighter, at around 130 grams not more .
I also love quartz, more and more with each passing day!
The practicality of it beats pretty much everything... (at least, it beats the amount of time i would spend in the morning adjusting my auto/manual watch for that day)
I just got a Glycine Combat Sub Quartz GMT in an attractive color way on Ashford for $80.10 usd ! Are you fricking kidding me?? Swiss made quartz gmt with sapphire, a decent bracelet and 200m wr. Will work great as a grab and go quartz beater that is literally cheaper than most paganis.
A quality quartz movement is a good thing to have, i've bought older vintage quartz watches and many have things like 6 jewels as the norm. I don't bother changing the date much, right now i'm wearing a watch that has SAT 19, when it's actually Sunday 14, everyone's personal preference though if they want to always bother with the date.
I got the GL0076 about 4 years ago and love it. Got the bare aluminum bezel before it was even cool, lol. The Combat Sub is underrated for its wearability. Not only is the watch incredibly thin, the bracelet and clasp are equally low profile. I love the combination of polished and brushed and I LOVE the huge crown. It is a joy to wind, which is why Im happpy to have the auto. The hand set is slim, but appealing. Just a fantastic watch!
I love Glycine and have the automatic Combat Sub. Too bad the lume is not that great. The lume at the automatic can be compared to Seiko divers. he minute hand is still on the small side. But for the price, it's a great deal!
Getting more and more into quartz watches but the size and lume is a nope from me. You should continue to find and review more quart gems like this! Please
Jumped right over and got the black and orange bezel version, looks the most unlike the rest of my collection so snapped it up, got an additional 7% off the sale prices as well although the $30 shipping charge takes some of the shine off the bargain😢
This is a nice watch for the price. I think the watch this competes with would be its sister brand Invicta, particularly the ProDiver.
The Glycine font puts me off
I got a Combat Sub vintage a couple of years ago (thnx to Jody I might add). I’d love to see you review the 39mm version. Cheers, great content as always!
Just got one, and immediately went to watch your video on it.. Checked if the bezel would rotate, and thought it didn't until you saying it did.
And well, it is incredibly stiff, but does work, and is ligned up nicely 👍
Alpinas are 170 at woot. Bought one for my son as a first watch. Swiss with sapphire crystal.
My daughter's wedding is coming up... I bought four for the “guys”. Phew! US price is much more.
Great to see Quartz getting some love.
Increasingly. Going back to my single tick roots.
Bit of a bargain Jody. 👍🏼 I bought the GLO388 automatic a few years ago from Jomashop & at the time it too was a great buy. They are a tough watch & for the money would be worth adding to any collection!
my glycine combat sub automatic is one of my favorite watches! gl0094 which has since been discontinued. also... it was my first automatic watch... that's how i found your channel! when i was researching it i stumbled upon a review you did of one... have been a subscriber ever since! thanks jody!
I'm in USA and seeing 179.00 through your link. Still a deal.
After your previous review, I ended up buying two Combat Subs. It's hard to fault it at $350 ish....But the lume is poor. This looks like an equally good deal. Brilliant.
On mine, gl0185, is quite good
Notice any quality differences since they were bought by Invicta?
Everything you need, plus the kudos of Swiss name. 5 yrs battery life. Looks great. Great presentation.
The downturn on those lugs really help, it wears very well with such a large lug to lug. Nice review now off to the website to see what else they have.
Glycine is a the sleeper Swiss! I LOVE my Glycine Airman!
Thanks Jody for this video. I went and bought one of these and received it today. It's an awesome watch, I only had to remove two half links for a comfortable fit.
The only gripe I have is the pressed clasp.
Thanks again Jody, I'm a happy man👍
Just ordered the soda version. Going to swap out the bracelet for black Tropics sytle strap.
Gave my son the 42 mm combat sub gmt coke, it was rough, but I fixed it, and it wears so nice, at 11 mm thick and turned down lugs👌👌👌
I love that you can get watches like these with quartz movements. I have several Paganis and I wish they had quartz movements so I could swap on a daily basis. Plus, they'd be cheaper and shallower movements, allowing Pagani and the like to spend more on the case and the bracelet(!) and make the experience nicer. Let me know what you think.
You have to check out the vulcain skin diver a bit pricier but for around the same price as your beloved oris 65 they seem to be value packed!
I picked up a GL0083 from Costco for $239usd, its a great watch! Love it!
Just received my GL1042 yesterday, the best chrono quartz for
Great Find. I got the Glycine Bronze from Ashford, just under 500.
That is an amazing value. I also think it fits great on your wrist from a visual perspective. No issues at all.
I've purchased from Ashford before. Very good customer service.
Great watches but word of warning for the Aussies. I recently bought an auto and due to Ashford marking it with the RRP not what I paid, I have been hit with massive customs and tax costs which I will have to dispute.
Jody, one of the things I like best about your channel is that you don’t spend 10 minutes talking about the knife you’re using to open the box or doing a wristwatch check. However, in many circumstances such as this one I am curious as to what watch you have on in the video, especially when I see a nice diver on a jubilee (always a favorite of mine.) What are you wearing in the intro to this one?
This is the second glycine in quarts that I’ve seen for right around at a really great price… The other was a Swiss Rhonda powered chronograph for right around $200 US. I bought the chronograph and it’s pretty amazing for the price and it’s one of my grab and go watches.
It appears the case, bezel, and bracelet are the same as the automatic versions----covert way to buy the parts needed for swapping around colors, styles, etc.
I too have two of these Combat subs and mine are auto's for the money excellent... Another great automatic for the money is a Mathey Tissot automatic....
I appreciate the love shown for quartz.
I bought a mechanical glycine a few years ago for not a lot more ... I like it but I don't wear it that much
And more important, much better value than a Seiko ‼️
Great buy Jody 👍🏻
The thin bezel reminds me of mine san martin bb homage.
Love the combat sub. I regret selling mine, great value for money.
I agree with you. Automatica are fun and games until they need servicing 😢
Big fan of my quartz certina. Automatics not worth the hassle imo
It's amazing what Invicta is doing for glycine
JODY I can hardly wait until you get to 300K I clearly remember when you had 20K subscribers when I subscribed to you!! I saw the first vid, and realized you were DAMN good Mate!!!
I picked up a blue dial varient after seeing your review. I'm keen to see it alongside my Duro (My only other 3 hand quartz diver). An insignificant few dollars more than your green one.. Great find, and thanks for the heads up and review on this one.
You can get an auto Combat Sub for around $300, which makes it the single best deal in watches, IMHO. It’s a great watch to wear and own.
Awesome find. Been looking for a quartz beater for a while now and this fits the bill perfectly.
I love my pilot glycine... this watch is very cool too. Reminds me of an Aragon watch band. Very reasonable price on the Combat.
Love glycine over brands like tisott, Hamilton,and most definitely certina,.Glycine stand way in - front of these brands(, IMO). seriously id put longines and glycine up there keeping the swiss flag strong ....
The seconds looks to be hitting all the markers, very nice.
Your thumbnail game is skyrocketing!
I'm kind of surprised at the lack of accuracy for a (Rhonda) quartz.
Wow. Here comes more research on getting one of these into Canada to see where the bargain chain breaks down…exchange rate, customs duty, shipping, do they even ship here???? I guess I know what I’m doing during my breaks today!! Once again you lead the way with great intel. Merci!
I have three Combat Sub 42 autos which fit fine but would really love this in a 40mm that was about 1mm thicker.
Glycine is great value, i have the airman blue to black dial on the steel bracelet and i love it
gorgeous green dial! I dont get how green hasnt been the "color of the year" yet
