Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Elliot Brown Holton Automatic: 101-A10

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.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport for its exceptional value, often found under $400, its solid build with brushed finishing, and its notably thin case profile, with many sources citing dimensions around 10.4mm to 10.8mm, making it comfortable and wearable. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its unique, non-homage aesthetic and excellent timekeeping, with some reporting accuracy within +1/+2 seconds per day, though one owner noted their Sellita SW200 movement ran at approximately +6 to +9 seconds per day. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the lume sub-par, while others note inconsistent power reserve not always reaching the advertised 42 hours. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport highly for its outstanding value and comfortable, thin wearability.
