Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0083vsResco Resco DLC

Owners widely praise the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0083 for its value as an entry-level Swiss automatic, its classic design, and its wearability, with many noting it wears smaller than its 42mm size due to short lugs and a slim 10.5mm thickness. The lume is reported to last longer than a Seiko SKX007. Some owners, however, find the 42mm case size too large for smaller wrists, preferring smaller variants, while others with larger wrists find it fits well. One owner notes the lack of drilled lugs can make strap changes inconvenient. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0083 highly for its value and versatile, classic design.

Owners widely report Resco watches are tough and American-made, with one owner detailing exceptional service after a severe accident damaged their Patriot Titanium, and another noting helpful customer service when a strap pin broke. The bezel action is described as tight, and the lume is bright. One owner notes the matte caseback scratches easily from strap wear. The winding action is described as rough, attributed to the model line, and one reviewer felt that for $1400, a higher level of refinement was expected, finding the case finishing comparable to significantly less expensive models. On balance, owners value the ruggedness and customer service of the Resco DLC, despite some reservations about case finishing and winding refinement at its price point.
