Sometimes in the watch hobby, (myself included), I think we use the term value incorrectly. Or maybe that “value” is subjective to each individual. Either way, I feel the Glycine Combat Sub is a great value. It might not be ultra affordable, but it definitely has a lot to offer for the price. Many might be familiar with the Glycine Combat Sub line, and some may not, but I often feel this model is overlooked in favor of Glycine’s other models, such as the Airman. The Glycine Combat sub..
