Glycine.......I think I love you

[NFleischer 4,355]

They are on sale all the time and hard to beat for the money. I have 2 myself, $300-400 with Swiss automatic movements.

The MRSP is quite highIMO, so it seems like a tremendous bargain.

I think they recently were acquired by Invicta.

I love my Airman Double Twelve. It’s become my go to travel watch.

I took it one step further: I picked up some enamel paint at an art store and filled in the bezel numbers. Makes the numbers easier to read a a glance. Super simple to do too!

Nice touch. My AirMan arrives Tuesday. 

MassDrop has another group of Glycines for $599. Full autos but no exhibition casebacks.  Wearing my worldtimer today. Love it for $390.

I must love these damned things. Now I'm even modding them.

Great idea!

The red twelve looks great!  I love it.  I wonder how that would look on the black dial. Oooh, add a black strap with red stitching. 

[cvp3 2,103]

You read my mind. Going to do that next. For the blue one I’m thinking light blue 12 and dark blue the remaining. 

[cvp3 2,103]

DONE

Massdrop have more, Airman Base 22 Auto for 580usd. And 16 different variants to choose from......

Looks great wi the the red. Like when a watch for me - has a touch of red text on the dial, or somewhere. Tiny accents like that. Great collection you got going there.

I offered $29 on one from the same seller and he accepted my offer. 

He has a few more in different colours so it’s worth checking through his items 

Great price

[cvp3 2,103]

Unfortunately $20 AUD shipping kills the strap deal for me, but agree, great prices.

[cvp3 2,103]

Ending up using watchgooroo on eBay as the have a "best offer" option for the Glycine Airman Purist Auto. After a few back and forth offers they accepted $387.50. Doubt the TopCash rebate is going to work so I gave up $5-ish there but saved $12.50 with the best offer. 

$387.50

- $38.75 eBay 10% OFF

- $3.88 eBay bucks

NET $344.87

Finished the blue dial. Hard to photograph the dark part, but it's actually dark blue.

[cvp3 2,103]

Here's the collection so far with 2 more inbound.

They are all great looking watches in person, but this is by far my favorite!

Even with shipping, if you can get it at $30 it’s still way u der half price

Ended up working out. I offered $27AUD for each of 5 straps, Melissa agreed to combine shipping. Ended up at $107USD for all 5 shipped. Very happy with these for ~$21 apiece.

Thanks very much for the heads up Thommo!

That’s a good deal mate!

The one I grabbed was black with white stitching. Was thinking about the orange canvas looking one as well but didn’t have a watch to suit. 

Glad I could help you out mate

[cvp3 2,103]

You enabled, err, helped big time. I needed a lighter strap so I went with:

2 tan leather / white stitch

1 grey leather / white stitch

1 black leather / blue stitch

1 black leather / flouro green stitch

[cvp3 2,103]

Glycine Airman GMT automatic arrived today. Finest watch I've ever owned, under $460.

 

[Thommo82 1,397]

@cvp3 I recieved my Glycine strap today, really lovely soft leather, feels fantastic on the wrist.

There are a couple left that I think I will order now. Great value for money 

[cvp3 2,103]

@Thommo82 can’t wait to get mine. Pics look great and glad to hear the quality is as advertised. Mine are still a few thousand miles away.....hoping to see them next week some time. 

My other Glycine is scheduled to arrive today/tomorrow. My 9th Glycine and my last watch purchase for awhile. Glycine Airman 4 hand GMT 42mm auto. Black dial on leather.

You my friend are Glycine mad!

Just messaged the seller to see if they will do me a discount if I buy a few more straps. 

By far the best strap I’ve ever purchased for under $30

Watchgooroo is listing at $599 but accepts best offers. I got mine for $400 minus eBay bucks and top cash rebate. You get 3 offers. Recommend starting at $300, then $350, then $375. Hopefully he does the final counter offer at $400 or lower. He knows that you 'time out' after 3 offers as well.
