In spirit of field watch friday I have worn my Glycine Combat sub today, which is a dive field watch hybrid done well. Still keeping the nato strap on for now. I have a question for you guys. What other colored straps would go well with this watch?

My three straps from BluShark finally came in. I got two black straps and a green nylon one for a more field look. Not too sure about how the green does well with the black and bronze, but the black straps look very cool indeed. I did want to get a few more straps from Glycine, but due to tariff fees and most of their strap buckles not really matching the color of the watch, I passed on it

In addition to my new Glycine watch, I have bought another combat-ish watch. It is the G-Shock, it apparently has its uses by those serving in the US Armed Forces. As regarding my A-158 it is sadly out of action right now due to the reset button not working properly. It is unable to be pressed fully meaning it cannot reset the stopwatch or adjust time. I am slightly considering retiring the A158 because of this and simply get different Casio in the future

After I got my new Rado Diastar back in summer of 2024, I have not bought another mechanical ‘decent priced’ watch since. I was looking at watch sales on the grey market, and the first thing that caught my eye was the Glycine combat sub. The watch looks good, and is an automatic movement. But i had no idea how reputable Glycine is. So I did some research. And turns out they are quite good at making watches, have history, and is a very underrated brand. I heard the one thing that sort of turns people off about this brand is that Glycine is a subsidiary of Invicta. Personally, I am not a fan of Invicta. But after reading about the positive comments and reviews about how well built their glycine combat subs were. I pulled the trigger. I just received it today in the mail. And so far, i absolutely love it! The uni-directional bezel feels nicer and sounds better than my Bulova Oceanographer. I love the black finish and the NATO strap it came with it. It also sits slim on the wrist at 10.55 mm(?), which is very thin for a watch this calibre. One thing I do not like about the watch so far, is the relatively low power reserve at 38 hours. I would like it at least over 40, but there is a reason why this watch was pretty affordable. I just bought three new straps for the watch from BluShark, which should come in a week. I wanted to grt Glycine straps but sadly charge a lot for shipping, plus tariffs. Overall, I’d say very underrated watch brand, great selection of watches, will come back for more in the future. I have really wanted a mechanical field watch for a while (something like a Hamilton, but too expensive and out of my budget). This scratches the itch for a field watch, while also being a diver.

Just a guy looking out into his field wearing his field watch wishing the @Sean Kavanaugh and the WIPS team would cut him some slack🤣🤣 Happy Friday all.
