I bought the Combat Sub 42 at the last drop. I hated it upon first sight, really tiny for a diver at 42 mm x 10.6 mm. That's O.K. for other styles of watches, but it seemed silly for a diver. I unloaded it and looked at my options, one of which was this 48 mm version, but it's too big and yet still too thin at 11.3 mm, out of proportion and too flat even if the diameter is O.K. for you. Also, the lug style wears big since they go more out than down.
What I ended up getting is the third Glycine diver, the Combat Sub Aquarius. It's pricier, about $650 discounted, but it's a perfect sized chunky diver at 46 mm x 18.8 mm thick, with downward curving lugs to wear small. It was designed in consultation with a famous European diver to be a more genuine dive watch, so it has thick Sapphire, double domed, a helium valve (yeah, silly), and only comes with a silicone strap, a good one, with deployant and a wetsuit extender. The bezel is ceramic, not an insert, but all ceramic.
The Aquarius model numbers are GL0037 through GL0041, five colorways. I really recommend the Aquarius out of the three Glycine divers. It's a really solid, substantial feeling watch.

CloacaInteresting. The divers that the Combat Sub emulate (SUBmariner) are 40mm which was a pretty functional size for a long time. I too have had the Aquarius for about a year and it really is the sweet spot for me.
