Nice watch overall. Would recommend to friends and would purchase again.
The watch appearance is quite nice. I like both the GMT and non-GMT version of the Glycine “Soda”, but my preference is the look of the GMT. The GMT has slightly smaller “circle” hour markers, and thinner markers at the 6 and 9 o’clock positions compared with the non-GMT (see image). The seconds markers 
- There are only 2 micro-adjustments on the clasp. A 3rd micro-adjustment would’ve been nice, especially since the photos for this watch on DROP show 3 micro-adjustments. Will be swapping out the steel strap.
- I have a couple other GMT watches, and for those watches, the hour hand has the “GMT” movement (1 click/movement for 1 hour). On the Glycine, the GMT hand has this movement. Will take some getting used to. I don’t travel much, so won’t be using this function very much.
- The bezel is slightly loose, both on the GMT and non-GMT watch. Using the seconds markers as reference, I would say about 1/4 to 1/3 of a second loose. Doesn’t really bother me, but thought I’d include in the review.

WatchdorkI really do like the GMT style bezel, but have ordered the 'cyclops" version you do have also. Mt question is : Is the GMT version worth the difference of $354 dollars? As the "cyclops" edition was on sale at $275! I have two other Combat Subs also and quite like the product; but at $629 I find it a lot to spend without being able to physically examine this model. Thanks.

JAoneThis is a difficult question. It's personal preference. If I had to choose between the two, I would purchase the GMT. Not really impressed with the GMT movement, but the overall look, the exhibition case back along with the GMT pushes me over the edge towards the GMT. The $275 price for the non-GMT is really good! Both watches are surprisingly accurate. Wearing the GMT daily for 5 days, I lost 2 seconds over the 5 days. The non-GMT is about 10 seconds fast per day. Is the GMT worth the extra $354...for me, yes. But can't go wrong with either (especially at $275 for the non-GMT).

WatchdorkThanks,it's funny how we like the exhibition caseback on automatics, there is no logic to this phenomena as we don't see it on the wrist. And a lot of us ,myself included are not the biggest skeleton style watch fans either ,although we do like the exhibition caseback!!

WatchdorkI must say that the two "sub combats" I have are fitted with different movements ; - eta 2824 which is the more accurate of the two, my bronze version has the sw200 sellita; it runs about 2-3 minutes fast per week. Do you know what the movement is in your standard cyclops edition watch? It sounds like the eta 2824.

JAoneNot sure on movements. But I have a couple other recent Combats that are ETA 2824, so assuming that the cyclops is also. One note/caution, the other Combats I purchased have an issue with the manual winding. I went a little overboard with manual winding these watches, and now the rotor catches when manual winding causing the watch to shake/vibrate a lot when manual winding. They both still keep accurate time. Read on some forums that this is a common issue and just needs cleaning and lubing.
