The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is widely praised by owners for its perfect proportions and slim profile, with one owner noting a thinness of 10.4mm. The unique, non-homage design is a significant draw. However, some owners report sub-par lume and inconsistent power reserve. One owner of a 39mm variant also noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage highly for its wearability and distinct design at its price point.
The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.
