Glycine Combat Sub Vintage BronzevsSpinnaker Dumas GMT

The Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze is widely praised for its exceptional value, slim profile, and attractive aesthetic development, with owners frequently highlighting its comfortable wearability and unique design. Its thin case, around 10.4-10.5mm, is a recurring point of admiration, fitting easily under cuffs. The ETA 2824 or SW200 movement is noted as reliable, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1.9 seconds per day. Lume is generally considered strong, comparable to a Seiko SKX007, though one source noted it as subpar. Some owners expressed a desire for ceramic bezel inserts, while others preferred the aluminum for its thinner profile. A few specific criticisms include a non-bronze buckle, the potential for uneven patina from seawater exposure, and inconsistent power reserve not always reaching the advertised 42 hours. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze highly for its ruggedness and value, making it a compelling choice for a durable diver's watch.

Owners praise the Spinnaker Dumas GMT's satisfying lume, including on the crown, and good finishing, with one owner finding it wears well on a 17cm wrist. The watch features a Seiko NH34A GMT movement and a blue gradient dial. Reviewers note its 44mm diameter and 209g weight on the bracelet make it unsuitable for smaller wrists.
