Reviews

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

Glycine Combat Sub Vintage

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.

From video reviewers

The slim 10.5mm thickness is a consensus strength. Reviewers noted the two-tone option as an aesthetic appeal. No consensus weakness was identified.

Resco DLC White

Owners report satisfaction with the DLC coating, with one stating it is considered indestructible and the gold standard. Another owner chose the Resco DLC White specifically for this coating, expecting it to resist scratches better than previous coatings. One owner noted rust on the case by the time and date adjusting screw of a different Resco model, which the company stated was normal. Overall, owners value the durability and scratch resistance of the DLC coating on the Resco DLC White.
