It’s not obvious from the pics, but the GL0284 has a green dial and dark green band

mcloseYes, very good-looking watch, and with a 43mm case should be easy to read with my tired eyes. I love bronze and I love green. IWC made the Flieger Spitfire in bronze and green, but I can’t justify that expense on a watch I would probably use once a week.

fazalmajidI want to like it but it's a hideous shade of green to my eyes. An over cyanated mouldy kind of colour.
A darker british racing green would go nicely with the bronze.

You can’t trust colors on the web, even when your monitor is color-calibrated. The IWC I mentioned above has a much darker, earthy green, but it’s more khaki than racing green. I think I like this shade better, but I suspect it’s darker in real life and closer to the Drop photo.

Once read an article concerning color choices for Men’s Suits. No shade of green is permitted; it’s considered an insincere color.
Also tends to make one look like a Leprechaun.

fazalmajidGood point, I am sure it looks better 'in the flesh'
On Green wathges - the IWC look to have it aboutright but I'd still prefer a deeper green, I think.
I've always liked the seiko alpinist although that is also on the bright side (at least in photos)

RayFWriting impediment, actually. Thick fingers, phone keyboard, auto-correct off: a vicious combination.

mclose“This Glycine would not be the watch of choice for this attire.”
Perhaps this, then?

I got mine today. The watch band and face are a close match to the Ashford photo, the case and hands are darker and slightly pinker. Very good-looking watch, I am happy with my purchase for now. Let’s see how accurate the movement is.
The glass does not have any anti-reflective treatment, however.
