Interesting new model. From the website too  bad it only comes in black dial.

Whats the list price for it?

Looks to be a good weekend beater of "do everything" watch.

Hey danny nice catch!

Here's mine! Picked it up last week.



Agreed. It very good value. Love the military styling. And the dome glass and dial.
I especially like the long minute and second hand that reaches the edge of the dial.

Hi Alex,
Your Dad has good taste. I agree with him that the Sinn is definitely more desirable but it's not as affordable as the Glycine  .
