Glycine Combat Sub before and after Invicta take over

[@jeffdolgin7436]

FYI a buddy of mine works at glycine and told me specifically no changes whatsoever have been made in regards too moving the factory or anyone with Invicta making any changes. Glycine is still made in same factory in switzerland....

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I believe it. Before or after Invicta these watches are a great value.

[@just-a-kollector1568]

Invicta insider here. One of the biggest way we helped Glycine from going under was our buying power of Sellita movements. We Never got involved in how Glycine manufactures their products. Just inserted more money into the company and our buying power in the movements they use was more than enough to keep the company competitive.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

As someone that works at a large company with buying power, this makes total sense to me. There are definitely advantages to buying in large volumes. Also, thanks for sharing your insight on this topic.

[@just-a-kollector1568]

@@WrongTimeWatch thanks for the reply sir. Didn’t think I’d get a reply on one of your older videos. But I thought I’d share some information regarding this issue. We know that there was a lot of Glycine supporters who were worried about the acquisition. We also know that there’s no need to change anything that works. Glycine have been making quality watches for a long time and surely because of Invicta’s help, will continue to do so.

[@TheGearPeddler]

Glycene is a good company but would be out of business if it wasn't for invicta. Invictas CEO has stated they want to keep Glycene as their higher end Swiss Watch company. If Glycene didn't need to make some changes they wouldn't have been about to go bankrupt. I think we can count on Glycene to be around for the foseeable future and hopefully making great watches for a long time. I'd buy their watches no problem. Good review.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Thank you. I do appreciate Invicta saving Glycine from bankruptcy. , and also lowering the prices. I was tempted to buy Glycine watches in the past, but the price held me back. Now I own too many of them.

I just bought a Glycine after weeks of doing research into the same thing. I was looking at other divers like the Doxa 200, Oris, Zodiac, but Glycine offered so much for the price I couldn’t justify buying the more expensive divers, especially since they use the same exact movement.

[@dc8782]

It's not an "Invicta". It's a Glycine. Invicta isn't making these and referencing that is incorrect. Almost to the point of social engineering. No different than calling an Audi or Bugatti a Volkswagen because VW is the parent company.

When we were with Mercedes our cars were the worst. German engineering is to see how cheep they can make something. Since we've been with Fiat out vehicles are nicer. When companies merge it does affect the end product. If you read to the end of this then like me you have nothing better to do. LOL. I also just bought a Glycine watch.

I have a pre and post as well. As a matter of fact, I paid around $1100 for the pre invicta glycine about 2 months before invicta bought them. A year later and the watches were less than half the price. Needless to say i was pissed😂. I actually like the post invicta glycine better with the exception of the drilled lugs. That is something i wish glycine would do again. I also wish they would release some heritage models.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I remember when they were over $1,000. I was really tempted to buy one back then, but held off as I was not as watch crazy back then. I would not be happy with the price drop after buying one as well. I guess if you don't sell it, then you have not lost any money on it. It is a good watch for $1,000, and of course even better for the current price.

[@arlofs]

These watches are now almost entirely made in China. The components are shipped over to Switzerland and assembled with a Sellita SW200-1 movement. The straps are probably still supplied by the same company, that's why they look identical.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Yea, there is no doubt that as much of the is made overseas as possible, still a great value for the money though.

[@michimadiforever1458]

There is AR on the underside. That’s the only place you want it, trust me, I have it on my Breitling and Panerai and it causes scratches because the AR coding is not as hard as it has the sapphire so it might as well be acrylic or mineral crystal because you have to look at scratches on it until you replace the crystal again.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I have heard that you can remove the AR coating from the topside of the crystal. However it is kind of a hassle to do so. Rolex does net even use AR coating at all. So just having it on the underside ought to be good enough.

[@jackochainsaw]

They are using a different spring in the bezel on the new Glycine which is why it has a little bit more flex on the bezel itself. I liked the old logo more but they are pretty much the same other than some additional markings on the dial and a simplified logo. I'm glad Invicta stepped in to help them out. There are so many old good watch companies that went out of business. A lot of people really rate these and I'd like to add one to my collection. You get some great deals on these in the US. I have a bit more of an uphill battle here in the UK. I think you've got a site called Ashford that has some bargains, especially with the seasonal sales. I'd have to pay import tax whether I got these from the European Site or the US one and it adds quite a bit to the price.

I think these are great watches for the money. You can usually find them around $350. You can find some good deals on Ebay as well. I agree, if not for Invicta buying out Glycine, they might not be in business today.

Good question. The Gylcine Combat Subs before the Invicta take over had ETA movements. Sometime after the takeover they transitioned to Sellita. It is hard to tell since Glycine renamed the movement as a Glycine movement.

[@blackmarketbarber]

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Thank you very much

[@mitchk2981]

While Invicta makes throw away garbage, Glycine is still solid. Very well priced for a Swiss Made automatic watch. The new ones have replaced the ETA movement because ETA has said they will no longer sell movements outside of their Swatch owned world (not sure if that has been implemented). The new movement (Sellita) is actual a 26 jewel movement that works vey well. I bought one and noticed no bezel movement. COSTCO has a few models at very reasonable prices. Given the thefts of expensive watches these days, I have to be very careful wearing expensive watches and have a few watches like this one that are ideal if you are traveling or in a lawless urban environment like NYC, LA, Chicago etc.

I was focusing on what I could see. However, yes, the older combat sub is supposed to have an ETA movement, and the new combat sub is supposed to have a Sellita movement. From what I understand the movements are very comparable, regardless of the manufacturer. I think the current Gylcine Combat Sub is a good value for up to $400, even $500.

[@robinwas-miles4641]

@@WrongTimeWatch I'm prob going around in circles by repeating others' comments, however, sites do talk about post Invicta Glycine using Chinese made parts assembled in Switzerland. Some debate about this but it would explain the drop in price point and perhaps undermine the brand's perception and quality of the piece overall. Eg. The chapter ring apparently gives a suspension effect when you push face-down and only gives a 60 click rotation. Seeing and feeling the thing would be the ultimate decider but Invicta brand does spoil the impression of a prestige piece if there is one to be had.

I don't know for sure, but I would be willing to bet that the Glycine Combat Sub has the maximum amount of Chinese parts possible to stay under the limit to use "Swiss made" on the dial. I am also willing to bet that the Gylcine Combat Sub was also using chinese parts before the Invicta take over.

Glycine still make the combat sub. You are comparing two completely different models. Invicta have no imput into how the glycine make their watches. They are both glycine watches.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Yes, they are both the Glycine Combat Sub. Which is why I was surprised to see so many differences between them.

[@matyasd007]

[@davidcrandall4958]

Invicta makes great watches! Look carefully again! This time Listen and concentrate!

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Yes, I have a few Invicta watches in my collection

[@davidcrandall4958]

There really are several good Quality,well made Invicta Watches that are tastefully desighned ! Many contain the Seiko made NH 35 Movement And some use the Swiss Made Sellita 200 movement! They are priced way belowOther watches with comparable movements and quality! look online and you will find them! It is worth it!

[@lucymellace2906]

Your original is a nice watch. The invicta is junk!

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I will probably sell most of my combat subs. They don't get much wrist time.

[@itskyyuuuu]

its so subtle but you can tell the older one is just a classier watch

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I am happy with both of them.

[@davidcrandall4958]

I disagree! They're both classy!

[@wakawaka1976]

I like having the Arabics

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I like both, although it is easier to tell time with the Arabic dial, I do like the looks of the stick indexes. So, good to have both options.

[@Ktc99999-b]

the shorter minute hand on the left is deal breaker.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Good point

[@LEGOTROLL1]

take models before invicta took over.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Not so easy to tell them apart.

[@Sirkelsag666]

Glycine is still operating seperatly from Invicta. Shame Glycine gets so much piss just because Invicta watch group saved them from going bankrupt... ('*_*')

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I am thankful that Glycine is still around. I do enjoy their watches.

[@Sirkelsag666]

@@WrongTimeWatch Some of the new models look really nice. For example GL0258. 46 mm is a bit big though...GL0296 is a nice one to, all though I cant find any "offical" information on glycines homepage. About to purchase the GL0171 as we speak.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

@@Sirkelsag666 i would really like for them to go smaller and make a 40 mm combat sub.

[@Sirkelsag666]

@@WrongTimeWatch Agreed 38-40 would be nice!

[@varanid9]

So, the original Glycine had an applied logo and drilled lugs, while the Invicta owned Sub doesn't. It may not seem like a $600 difference, but, it's certainly annoying that Invicta has to take a decent product and cheapify it. Also, the bezel of the Invicta version sounded tinnier on the video. I'll pass.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

From what I have read, Glycine would have gone under if not for Invicta purchasing the company. The newest Glycine (Invicta) Combat Sub is still a good value for $320.

[@mazpr2025]

Way too much hype for the Glycine brand. There are a lot of QC issues, the Seconds Hand misses all the indicators. GMT hr tracking goes off all the time. Bracelet does not have half links. My Pagani Design and Addie drive are of way better quality for one third or less the Glycine cost.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I am not aware of much hype for Glycine. I have not had an issue with any of my Glycine watches. Sorry to hear about the problems with yours.

[@jeffdolgin7436]

Please stop calling it Invicta...

[@WrongTimeWatch]

That was for the ease of the video comparison before and after the purchase of Glycine by Invicta.

[@burdineestep4224]

Absolutely?

And your point is what a watch made seven years ago my one company is different the one made mow by Invicta. Gee that's amazing.
