My mailbox had an ad in it this morning for new combat subs direct from glycine shipping on leather. I guess Tudor has been doing that forever too. I know purists will balk at the lack of water appropriateness of leather with a diver. However, I hate t...

I'm debating between a Glycine Combat Sub 36 in brown (GL0338) and a Certina DS Action Diver 38 titanium.

My other diver is a black SKX013.

-The proportions of the Glycine are nicer for my 6 inch wrist, and the male end links add to the size o...

I'm wanting to trade out the trusty timex weekender from high school (no hate for Snoopy though). Hoping for something a bit less cluttered (24 hour markers, I'm looking at you). Still like minimalist or Bauhaus, but slightly dressier. I want...

Love the anOrdain stuff for the beauty and pop of color. But the wait and the price are eye popping. Anyone else in the price range of mere mortals do a midsize (~36mm) enamel dial?
