Horological Meandering

Great owner's review Mike

 

I am not familiar with Glycine watches but yours sure look good.
Love the blue dial and details such as the matching date window (same color as the dial in midnight blue).

As I grow older, I appreciate watches that focus on function and readability more and your Glycine is a perfect example.

Thanks for the great review Mike. Nothing beats an owner's review of his/her loved timepieces.

Cheers
Robin

I haven’t purchased a new watch now for over a self imposed ban started out as a financial necessity but recently I was fortunate enough to end the draught. A few months ago I fell prey to some sort of directed online advertising and soon found myself at...

I think it lacks some the refined design points compared to the other two brands you've mentioned...I wanted to avoid purchasing a "dressier" watch. This Glycine was perfect for what I was looking for. Thanks for reading, Mike

nice review Mike

'just an ETA' is fine by me as they are strong, reliable and accurate. parts are easy to source and servicing is possible by any good watchmaker so it would be my movement of choice anyday. like the case and dial. interesting piece. G

Thanks Graham....exactly the points most people avoid discussingg

but are important for long term ownership. My ETA based perpetual servicing cost 750 USD. My "in-house" perpetual servicing cost 2200 USD. No special differences between the two watches except for "bragging" rights. Actually the ETA based perpetual runs b...

Seems like a good everyday wearer. The big date has a lot of appeal to my older eyes. Appreciate the review!
