Very much a chrono man from the collection. I see some nice b&r. I got my glycine at a great price, so I have no complains. As for the pvd coating, not very sure but I have to say that the pvd coating on my b&r has taken some beating and some if it has rubbed off. Overall it gives the watch character. :)

The BJ u have is also PVD right? how's it performming so far. The BR series is just as bad for the price they are asking....

Actually it is not too bad for the asking price. Compare it to brands like b&r, the asking price is pretty good. The watch is Ok. The performance so far has been ok. It is fitted with a pretty reliable movement and the overall quality of the watch is good. I like the watch.

My Glycine BJ Small Seconds. A limited edition of 350 pieces.



Currently fitted with the Glycine rubber strap but looking to change it to a leather strap. Since the lug width is 24 mm, I can use one of my independent made Panerai straps. Also a great excuse to get a new strap.

Straps? Don't get me started, what with both Wotancraft and Ted Su being based in Taiwan.  ;D

Hi guys,
I just want to share a piece of "news" from the grapevine with regards to Glycine brand in Malaysia. (Please note that I am unable to verify the accuracy of this news.)

It seems that the local AD has received notice to return their current stock of Glycine watches to the HQ (down south). This may mean that Glycine watches will soon disappear from the display shelves in Malaysia. So anyone who's been thinking of picking one up may be well advised to visit one of the AD outlets soon before the stock is boxed and shipped out.

I suspect that this move is somehow linked to the change in ownership of Glycine, as reported by Peter in this post: http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php/topic,2481.0.html.
I won't be surprised if this matter is resolved successfully, and Glycine will return to Malaysian shores eventually. However you can most probably expect higher price tags to accompany the watches.

 :Cheers:

This year Glycine was sold by DKSH to Invicta. Within 5 years time, there were 3 ownership changed, it is really not good to a watch brand.

I bought the combat sub GL-0080 model with pvd coating. Wore on rotation for 6 months still look good.
A manufacturer with so much history but can't seem to build up its brand. Hope it gets more recognition in the near future.
