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

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.
