Glycine Combat Sub 39mm gl0401

[@bulldogms]

I have the 36mm. It's amazing. +7 spd. Ashford $369 on sale. My new favorite watch.

[@Mitch-e2e]

This one is back in stock on the manufacturer’s website and yup, the polished center links are still there on the supplied bracelet. This checks a lot of boxes for the $490 they have it listed for although I’m not a fan of the aluminum bezel, since these are almost always scratch magnets.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Glycine is a criminally underrated brand. Actually, this suits me very well, because I can pick up $1,000 watches for less than $400.

[@7rslender]

Where can you get this kind of discount? Since (Mass-) Drop is not interested in selling watches, i have not idea where to get glycine for a good price

i own 4 glycine pieces and all are great watches. im glad to see they are getting into making more smaller sizes.

Glycine demonstrates how overpriced Tudor watches are.

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

@@r0ky_M lol i dont know if id go as far and compare glycine to tudor but i agree tudor has definitely been price gouging since the brand has became more popular in the past 6-7 years. In their defense they do have their own movement now.

Glycine nailed the design and dimensions. With a ceramic bezel insert this would've been unbeatable.

Thanks for brining in the 39mm Combat Sub for the watch community to see a review! I'd probably go the 42mm sub as well, I think it's a bit thinner than this current iteration.

[@righton1]

Thanks for the review Rob. Been waiting to check this one out. Love the combat sub just not the 42. Love the bb58 just not the Canadian doll hairs for it right now. So this may be my ,for now ,sweet spot.

[@partybees8856]

I've owned a Glycine Combat Sub with a very similar dial and handset and it was very nice. Rob, if you ever have one of these new 39mm Glycine divers and the new Certina 38mm divers in at the same time, please post a video!

[@vincikorn]

Wow Rob, thanks! The EXACT review I was looking for!

[@TheBigWrist]

Great value watch. Love seeing them a variety of sizes.

[@HaonProductions]

These have disappeared from just about every seller... hopefully v2 incoming with a brushed bracelet?

[@watch_a_mod354]

Went to many ADs with my Glycine on looking at Watches at 2-4k ... till now no one recognized the brand. Unknowledgable snobs i say :D my trusty Combat sub is great

[@gito4130]

Bought it directly from Glycine restock a month ago. Amazing piece Amazing value for the money, You can't find a Swiss diver watch or a micro brand with better bang for the buck. Checks all the boxes for me, hated the polished center links so I had my watchmaker professionally brush the bracelet and looks like it should. My only complaints beside the polished center links is the outdated clasp, I also wish they would have left the lumed pip triangle like the 42 and they need to apply another layer of lume. Besides the small complaints this watch is the best BB58 alternative.

[@edwardklein5692]

Looks good without the crown guards

[@mattwilliams7454]

It's a really nice little piece.

[@benvanwade1096]

Cool size I have just brought my first 42mm Glycine Vintage Combat Sub it wears well very impressed 👍

[@SpookyGhost61]

Thank you for the rundown/review. This may be my first watch purchase

[@Elias-ix7wf]

Please do a review of the 36mm, would be super interesting!

[@webe1309]

You heard me scream. Gotta dump the polished center links. Another great vid Rob.

[@mikea.4914]

I was eyeing up the green 36mm combat sub recently. Also dig the Tissot 36mm seastar. I'm happy to see smaller sizes (39, 36) but man, those cheap looking bracelets have me thinking twice. And it kills me that these big brands can't do decent lume on $600 watches. I mean come on, seriously?

[@AldoFelt]

39mm is the perfect size for me. Works great.

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

Of course they made this one that I wasn't able to find. I just bought the 36mm. Nice piece for sure! Same exact dial too

[@Goyxrd3]

What made you choose the 36mm over the 42mm, I ended up going with the 42mm combat sub just because my preference with a dive watch is usually 39+

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

@@Goyxrd3 I like 40 and under dive watches. Have a 6.5" wrist so it fits well. I'm a big fan of 37mm 38mm and 39mm. Have a axios flagship in 40 and love it. Have the seiko SNE573 which is 38mm. But still would have gotten this in 39 if I could have found it.

[@Nefville]

Dang I missed it in flippers! Its like the poor mans Tudor Black Bay damn!

[@rickseconds7676]

I have the Quartz Combat model, GL1018, beautiful watch at an excellent price.

[@Seoul_Goodman]

Not really sure about few design changes but seems improved i guess.

[@ToddSikking]

Can't find these anywhere.

[@lukewalker1051]

Good one Rob for sure. 39 would be the sweet spot for sub 7 inch wrists and agree the 42 would better suit your wrist. Nice offering.

[@jdupuis4829]

If the center link wasn’t polished this would be my next pick up

[@datboytalkinrungotellem]

lmao, you can brush it out yourself or take it to a jeweler .. men nowadays!

[@MichaelPlum]

I recently ordered the 36mm model. Sucks that the smaller one doesnt have drilled lugs though

[@bulldogms]

The bracelet is a butterfly clasp on the 36mm. Changed to a rubber strap and it's amazing!

@@datboytalkinrungotellem My local watchmaker charged $150 to brush out the center links. Expensive, but he matched the factory brushing perfectly.

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

I was almost about to pick one up but the polished center links are putting me off, you need a ceramic bezel insert to pull off polished center links.

[@khronokraze]

I love my blue version GL0400. They have a great range of color combos. I could do without the polished centerlinks, would have preferred all brushed, but, I am ok with it. It could also use a little extra taper down to 16mm. Lastly, across the catalog, the lume is adequate. It's a little better than before. but, they can certainly do a little better.

[@Billeh556]

Man I was just on to search for videos of this watch and it’s in my recommended 😂

[@BusoT]

Hi! I can't decide between the Glycine Combat Sub 39 and the Certina DS Action Diver 38 mm. In your opinion, which is the better watch, which gives a better bang for the buck? (Finish, build quality, movement, lume etc.) I like both designs, but... In one hand, the Combat Sub is a little bit cheaper and maybe a little bit better looking. On the other hand, the Certina's ISO certificate, BGW-9 lume and the DS-Powermatic movement is a big plus. I have only tried on the Certina, but i have no chance of getting my hands on a Combat Sub in my country, so your help would be much apreciated. Thanks

[@EastCoastPGS]

Get both. I have both, glycine 36 sub in gilt and certina in black dial. I switch up wearing them every few days. Love both watches

Certina is better imo I am 2 years late tho
