If you want to wear it as your everyday/field watch, I recommend you wait for the combat 6 vintage, it have sapphire crystal top and a day window which makes it a better day to day companion

Thanks to all for the discussion re: Combat 6 vs. Combat7. Thought I wanted a 6 but now have lots to think about.

Beautuful watch, classic timeless design (imo). And it has both 1-12 & 13-24 denotations😃, BUT the dial is only 41mm and it has that shitty vintage Hesalite😩

Not irrelevant, because the name of the watch is combat 7 vintage, and vintage usually is under 42, I just pointed the fact, that if u want something bigger don't look for it in a watch with vintage in it's name

Comparing to my combat 6 classic, the combat 7 vintage looks very similar yet so distinct.
The combat 6 has a darker dial, dome sapphire, polished body.
The combat 7 has a greyish black dial, raise hesalite crystal, brushed body.
The overall look of the combat 6 is more refined while the combat 7 really feels like a tool watch like what it designed for, combat.
I love them both and I worn them regularly, giving them the same love and treatment.

mrgrandisAwesome, thanks for posting. I previously owned the Combat 6, but sold it to a good friend when I got my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical with no-date. I find myself missing it, but I think I might replace it with the Combat 7 instead for the more vintage feel.

mrgrandisI had tossed back and forth at one point with the 7, the 6, and similar Hamilton offerings. I ended up with the black 6 you show in your photos and really like it. I think the size is near perfect and it has great symmetry.

This is a nice watch for this price; however, for slightly more you can get a much higher quality and better finished Hamilton. The finish looks decent, except between the lugs which they didn’t bother with—unfortunately this is exposed. I question if it’s worth $279 (I paid $30 more on Jomashop). You will not get $1000 discounted watch, you will get a watch you question if it was worth the $279....but probably not to the point you return it.

I am glad you enjoy your Combat Sub. You can see my pictures above, I don’t have a Khaki King or Combat Sub, I have the Khaki Field (H69429931) and Glycine Combat 7 Vintage, which is the exact same style as the Khaki Field and at a similar price points. The Hamilton comes with a mid-level ETA movement and runs about +1.5 seconds a day, which is excellent and has perfect finishing. Glycine comes with an “in-house” modified ETA, which coming from them sound like a budget decision, not a quality decision. To me, it looks like corners were cut on finishing. Both companies were bought out at some point: Hamilton by Swatch Group, Glycine by Invicta. I also still have both watches, but never wear the Glycine.
After putting sone thought into it, in compression, Glycine is on par with most $400 watches (not Glycine’s claim of $1000 plus). So, if you like it, it is a fine watch. The Hamilton Field watch is the odd ball by being exceptional quality at that price point . Glycine has has lots of history with flight watches, I bought this strictly because of their limited history with US Army field watches. The Hamilton is also slightly smaller than the Glycine, more true to the gg-w-113 military field watches dimensions. Maybe if I bought the Glycine first, I wouldn’t have been so disappointed. It is $50-75 less expensive, which is a significant difference for some people.

CBB75I own both the Hamilton Khaki (No-Date) as well as the Combat 7, and have owned the Combat 6. I don't think any of these are head and shoulders above each other. The going rate for the Hamilton on the grey market is about $400, but not always in stock at places like Joma. For $269 this is still a great watch for the money, it has a different style than the Hamilton and I like it for other reasons. In my mind, it all comes down to the buyer and what is most important to them.
- If you want a GG-W-113 style, Sapphire crystal, smaller case size, manual wind watch go with the Hamilton.
- If you want a Plexiglass crystal, slightly larger size, automatic movement, etc go with the Combat 7 for the lower cost.
- If you don't want either of those, and want something larger still with an automatic movement and similar field look check out the Combat 6 Vintage.

If Glycine reads this: Make it 38mm and we'll talk again. Way too big for a field watch!

Personally, I like to get the faux ball sack made of rubber or stainless to hang from my jacked up truck’s rear bumper. And I KNOW, when people see me drive by, they say, “now that dudes well endowed.”

It looks great on your wrist. If I had both, I'd have a green NATO on one, and a black NATO on the other. That way I'd be prepared to match anything I was wearing. You simply can never have too many watches!

Polished gouge on Hesalite adds character to the watch .. like "dings" on a Jeep ;-)

Who is packing these? Watch upside down/loose in the box and protective film dislodged from watch face. Hoping there is no damage.

CBeeZGone are the days of taking pride in your work. That would surely upset me. Imagine shipping it directly as a gift.
