"44 mm or 46 mm without crown" WHAT! YOU MEAN I CAN BUY THE WATCH WITHOUT THE CROWN!
*This is a joke, please do not explain anything to me.

Lol, he wasn't comparing products. He was letting people know that you can buy this exact watch, minus the carbon band for $100 cheaper. I'm sure many would appreciate knowing they can save $100 on carbon band they might not like.

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

Wow this is gorgeous. Haven't seen a watch that caught my eye quite like this one and the price is irresistible!

That’s a fairly slick looking watch for this price.
My 2 questions would be if it has good lume
and if that black finish holds up somewhat at least. Not interested enough to research it.

TragiqueI have a GL0153, the lume sucks compared to Seiko, Zelos,etc. But it does have lume but every watch I've seen with black colored lume is never as good as regular lume, I hope they figure out how to make the black lume shine like regular lume because the watch looks super cool

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...

It's upsetting to see the invicta effect on Glycine. This brand was so dope before all these monstrosities.

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.
