Product Description
Perhaps best known for its 24-hour Airman tool watch, Glycine has been producing timepieces since 1914. This version of the Airman—decked out in black, gunmetal, and silver—allows you to track multiple time zones thanks to the bidirectional rotating bezel and GMT hand Read More

Wrong technical specification at DROP !!! Inside of the watch is Sellita SW330-1 with 25 jewels, not ETA 2893-2 with 21 jewels!

One messed up thing is the bracelet looks like it has screw links but I noticed an arrow but thought why would it be push pin links, after trying to unscrew the links a couple times over my 1st day of owning a GL0153(bought at ashford.com for $360), I try my newly bought pin pusher and what do you know, push pins machined to look like screw pins. For $360 I don't care but truly any watch over $400 should use screw pins

tytostoyneAll pins seem like screws... Not as bad for me. And at least the clasp is not stamped, that would be indeed bad.

they just had an airman gmt about a month ago. The one I got (yellow dial, gl0069) is a whole lot better looking than any of these.

yes and yes. I'm really enjoying the watch although I'm considering changing the strap.

Dumb question but are both hands 24 sweeps or is just the gmt 24 and the hour 12? Normally the hour hand is 12 hour sweep and gmt 24 hour sweep.

  • "Oscillating weight, rhodium-coated rotor, decorated 'Côtes de Genève', and engraved with an airplane"

Translation: machined, vertical lines (put their essentially to cover up less attractive machine marks [scratches] portions of the movement pick up throughout the manufacturing process). Done well, the finish can be very attractive. Done cheap and dirty, it's hardly worth the effort. Evidently MD just wants us to find out which method Glycine opted for, after you've purchased the watch--otherwise they would have included a damn photo of it. I looked around and found this shot, but can't guarantee it's exactly the same movement and case back these models come with:

Maybe some of the members who own the watch can post a few pics of theirs? By the way, if you interested in reading more about the 'Côtes de Genève', finishing process (as well as others used in watchmaking, this site is pretty handy: http://en.worldtempus.com/article/watches/innovation-and-technology/cotes-de-geneve-the-striped-finish-18447.html

RayFThis is the all black airman 42. It's pretty cool that the movement is also all black.

Wait a second... Did I just buy almost this same watch yesterday, but smaller, with acrylic instead of sapphire, less detailed dial, inferior crown, and solid caseback for $100 more???? What is the cancelation / return process like over here on Drop these days? The only thing that would make me feel better is if the hour hand on these GMTs make two revolutions per day IE; not true 24hour except for the GMT hand... Unlike the purist, if I understand that correctly?

Well I personally love a one-per-day 24 movement, and my current favorite is an old Hamilton 4992B pocketwatch as I said which itself came originally from modifying older movements... But compared to that either Glycine is an improvement in some areas and a compromise in others... There are SO many models, but The DC4 seems alright. The Base 22 in particular looks like it might be my favorite in the right configuration. The Chief occupies an interesting sweet spot though and since this Airman is only available in GMT I think I'm at least happy to pass here and likely give Chief a try. And for perspective since I kinda like trolling around here Im fairly new to watches. Only a few years of really wearing and caring about them. So if I have to wear and then sell The Chief to figure out I dont like it, well then so be it. There might even be a good discount on it if it turns out really bad so ask here how Im liking it if you missed this drop some months in the future.

Cornwalljbtw though it is still a mystery why the Chief costs $100 more.. Maybe the Hand Bluing Union is really running the show these days...

I must have a natural immunity to both COVID-19 and Glycine watches--so far, neither one has grabbed me ;- )

I love my Airman GMT. It was the perfect companion on my 5 week trip through Europe last year. That's a great price.
