Title: Glycine Combat 6 - Manual Wind
Post by: danny on May 17, 2010, 06:44:59 PM: Looks like the financial crisis has produced some interesting new models at the lower end of the Swiss watch price spectrum. The Glycine Combat 6 manual wind (http://www.glycine-watch.ch/e/collection/detail.e.jsp?ID_Group=100003&ID_Display=10002Y) is tremendous value for your hard earned money.

Whats the list price for it?

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

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 ;D.
