The Elliot Brown HOLTON AUTOMATIC: 101-A10 is noted as an issued watch for UKSF, bearing a crow's foot and NSN marking. One owner reports the dial lume is lackluster, potentially due to the vintage aesthetic influencing the choice of Super-LumiNova. Overall, owners rate the Elliot Brown HOLTON AUTOMATIC: 101-A10 for its military provenance and issued status.
The Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0094 is praised for its slim profile, measuring 10.4mm thick with inward-bending lugs that contribute to comfortable wear on smaller wrists. Owners report excellent timekeeping, with one noting accuracy around 0.01 seconds per day. The lume is noted to last longer than a Seiko SKX007, although visibility of individual markers can vary, and one owner observed slight underapplication on the 6 o'clock marker. The watch is widely available for around $300-$340, though some retailers list it significantly higher. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0094 highly for its comfortable wearability and accurate timekeeping at its accessible price point.
