Product Description
We teamed up with Glycine to put our own twist on one of its best sellers, the Combat Sub. This collaboration is Glycine’s first-ever GMT, and it’s here in a style you won’t find anywhere else.

Hi Everybody:
I’m excited to announce today four new Drop exclusives for the Glycine Combat Sub, which you can only get here.
The first is the Drop + Gycine Combat Sub GMT. We’ve been hearing the calls for quite some time to make a GMT hand available for the Glycine Combat, and we’ve finally done it while upgrading the movement to boot. The Combat Sub’s GL284 has been swapped out for the GL293, the same used in the Glycine Airman (similar to ETA 2893-2)
For these models, we have added an exhibition caseback to let the beauty of the new movement shine through. Glycine enthusiasts may also note a very welcome return to the original Glycine logo.
We’re launching the GMT in the red/blue colorway of our original Glycine Soda Edition Combat Sub, as well as a new aged colorway that we’ve taken to calling “The Coffee Edition”.
We have both of the “coffee” and “soda” colorways currently available as both GMT and original versions. All come with a solid link stainless steel band preinstalled. For those of you who like the ease and comfort of a leather band, we’ve made one available at checkout with a quick release springbar that you can add to your Sub.
True to a Combat Sub Automatic, expect the same classic styling, superb finish levels, 200 meter (660 ft) water resistance, triple coated sapphire crystal. Like any Glycine, these automatic timepieces are made in Switzerland.
All four drops can be found here:
Combat Sub GMT

Drop + Glycine Combat Sub “Coffee Edition” We really hope you like all of these. Here for any questions. Leo

I wish, oh how I wish this was a so-called True GMT (or Traveler's GMT), in opposition to an Office GMT. You might find the latter more annoying to use than the former. I know I do!!!
The True GMT refers to a watch where the half pulled position jumps the local hour hand by 1 hour increments as it does for the higher end GMT movements (Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Grand Seiko) - while leaving the GMT hand on the wearer's home timezone.
In opposition, an Office GMT refers to a watch that uses the ETA GMT movement or clone (such as this Glycine), where the half pulled position turns the GMT hand one direction and the date wheel the other direction.
With an Office GMT it means that every time you move to a different time zone you have to:
- Pull the crown out two positions stopping the watch, adjust the time of the watch to the new time zone moving all the hands on the watch.
- You'll have to use another reference time as now the watch has stopped and it’s no longer accurate.
- Next push the crown back in one position and wind the crown forwards to return the GMT hand back to where it should be (your home zone, or any other reference time you have to use).
- Next wind the crown backwards to change the date (if necessary).
- Lastly press the crown in again to finish setting the time and date, and screw the crown down ensuring its water tight once again.
- Pull the crown and change the main hour hand to the local time, while leaving the GMT hand for your home zone, or any other reference time you have to use.
- The watch continues to run and your time is still accurate. Only the main hour hand has changed.
- Next wind the crown backwards to change the date (if necessary).

The bezel is fixed, so this is for two timeszones, i.e. the travel timezone (main hands, quickset), and home timezone (with the red hand). The reference is SBGN005. Wonderful watch! I have since sold it (to fund a Rolex Explorer) and because I do not travel for work anymore, but I'd buy it back in a heartbeat!

The Certina is a nice watch,and good size for me; currently just $600usd. or so at Jomashop. Very close to buying it currently!!! Your info. is very helpful,although I don't really have a need for a GMT of either type, but just wanted one for the collection. Thanks for the great info.

$600 for a combat sub?!?! I am not a glycine hater by any means, I have 2 42mm combat subs. But $600 and the only addition is a GMT complication? No way. If this was closer to 450-500 I would definitely pull the trigger. But for $600 you can get a much better GMT with an ETA 2893.2 elabore premium movement, ceramic bezel, 50atm water resistance and made of titanium or steel. Sorry glycine, I’m out.

Now 'atsa-mo clear--thank you ;- )
Appears to be the same movement used in the Christopher Ward Trident GMTs, among others.
Couple of stats here:

I like that one too, and some days I almost regret not buying it, as opposed to the Ocean1 GMT--but that's what made me finally chose it instead--I wanted a GMT and I wanted to try out a Ceramic bezel. Maybe next time I'll go for something a little more vintage?

$350 for a "soda" glycine combat sub,hmmmm.. $629 for the same watch with GMT movement and exhibition caseback wow. $279 difference!!!!!!!!!!!! You are ###king joking:.......right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Glycine and Drop fan ,currently owning two of these great models, bought from you guys-thanks. I was actually waiting for a "Diver GMT' watch to buy. But , hey, why do you just try to bite the hand that feeds you? This ask price is just an insult.
The price difference on the movement is no more than $40 usd. at top RRP. the exhibition caseback ,negligible. So come on guys ,look after your clientele a little better.
Also , if you are going to offer a "quick release leather band " option to also buy, then make the steel bracelet quick release;otherwise it defeats the object of the quick release. Unless you are into dancing,slow,slow,quick,quick,slow!!!!!

The standard Sub combat "Soda" has just been reduced to $275 never mind $500 for the "look". Looks similar except for the GMT numbers; but a whole lot cheaper$354 cheaper!! I didn't hesitate, as I do appreciate the cyclops glass!! And I haven't got a Pepsi soda diver at all, so I thought this was a relatively inexpensive and still good quality deal.(I have two other Sub combats fro Drop, and like the no fuse classical solid finish).

leave homages to <$200 watches, at the prices revue thommen is beyond that range to be doing homages. Look at a brand like oris. Affordable (a little bit more expensve than RT but they are all original designs)

There doesn’t appear to be “Drop” on the dial; which is a welcome improvement from other watch collaborations.

It's an interesting question for sure, and it's come up a couple times in past discussions.
I'm not so convinced that there's ever been some kind of orthodoxy around how to split the colorway for a diver bezel for a watch lacking a GMT function. If it turns out there ever is, I hope the penance is mild. For what its worth, if you're already demarcating the 15 minute count with extra tracks, might then highlighting it with another color possibly become a little redundant? Whereas by dividing the bezel into AM/PM through color, you might extend the ways in which the bezel can be used. My personal opinion anyway.

leopadronI recall, when I was a kid, adults were unanimous in their warnings of the dire consequences that awaited any child who went back in the pool, without having waited the required 30 minutes after having eaten so much as a single potato chip. Of course, even an eight year old knew that story was bunk-o! Still, you might be able to hijack that old wives tale and cobble it into some sort of function divers might utilize that bezel for?
Good luck ;- )

If the original design, Rolex Pepsi, is 40mm, why do you make it bigger in the homage?

And the reason I'm looking (see last 2 posts) is pretty simple, I've found recently that Drop saying 'estimated ship date Jan 8th' means absolutely nothing, as far as I can tell you don't even have these in the warehouse, I ordered 4 items on Black Friday, all of which had an estimated ship date of Dec 4, none of which ever shipped, I had to scream and holler to even get Drop to acknowledge they ruined Christmas and cancel the order, 3 weeks after the promised ship date, and 4 customer service requests later, over 4 weeks after ordering products that were supposedly in stock. So pardon me if I don't believe anything you say at this point, Drop. Seems like you're mainly in the business of taking out interest free loans from your customers/victims, sometimes....

I get your point about going broke saving money, and I've certainly spent thousands on cheaper watches, knives, etc... but luckily there are several what I would call 'grail watches' that I've already bought or have on my list which cost much less than a grand. I never buy a watch (or knife, vehicle, tool, whatever) thinking about resale value. Most of my watches are keepers for life, and I'll only part with my money for a watch I enjoy looking at. I'll probably end up putting higher-end watches on my list, but for a while I'm happy to build my collection with Citizens, Seikos, a Hamilton or two, a few micro brands.

Glen8I agree that on occasion the delivery times are well out of sync. I have had my written "rants and raves" with Drop , and even going over the top and totally "bad mouthing" the Drop team with unnecessary rude comments. But as I have found out now after over two years dealing with them; they do seem to do the best they can ,They have also been incredibly well mannered and professional in their responses, even when I deserved to be berated for my uncalled for language.
I suggest sometimes it is the other end, i.e. the suppliers to Drop that have caused the issues ; and Drop simply gets caught in the middle.
I have purchased at least 10 plus watches now and 80% have had no issues,even through Covid. There has also been two lost watches and refunds came quite quickly. All in all, considering I am not the only international customer,I think they do a great job! So far they have also been the best price by far on all but one of my purchases.
