Drop + Glycine Combat Sub "Soda" Automatic Watch

May 16, 2019

Wow this looks so much like the Tudor Black Bay GMT; which I love. I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a split bezel on a dive watch. Having said that, I also think its an awesome looking watch and a cursory internet search confirmed that this was in fact popular on lots of watches back in the 70's and not just GMT models. That's excuse enough for me to justify this watch. I just bought the Bronze Gylcine Combat Sub in February so I'm not ready to shell out another $400 so soon, but you can bet I'll be back on here after these ship looking for customer pics when they start receiving theirs. Coincidentally, less than 24 hours after this watch was announced; I received an email from Timex with their own Pepsi reissue. Apparently they had a quartz version as well back in the day and they just announced a spec for spec reissue on that watch. It was $179 but you get 15% if you sign up for their spam list so that brings it down to around $153. Just enough to entice me into pulling the trigger on it. It'll scratch my itch for a Pepsi for now, and if people tell me its a new Rolex knock-off, I can reply with "It certainly is not! It is an exact specification reissue of an original Timex design Rolex knock-off from 1979!" ;-) Seriously though; you all should check it out. I like the Timex Marlin reissues as well and they were crazy popular; immediately selling out after initially announced a couple years ago. They've since released a variety of them and they're easy to get based on their popularity. This Pepsi though; I could even see trying to do a Massdrop deal with eventually maybe. https://www.timex.com/browse/collections/reissue/q-timex-reissue/
