My Glycine Combat Sub is unresponsive to hand winding…

…but keeping excellent time on the wrist.

Since no local watchmaker seems to be able to help I’ve been advised to use it (8-12 hours daily).

To get it going first thing I find it necessary to shake it vigorously about 30-40 secs – it’s hilarious watching my technique believe me.

I suppose this is ultimately going to affect accuracy and worst case affect the watch? I only have a rudimentary knowledge of automatics.

Tia for any help.

Glycine vs Henry Archer

Today I searched for similar size and price watches and found Glycine Combat Sub, and emailed them asking the same questions, their response was snarky, which made me decide to buy the Archer only. Anyway, I’m not butthurt or anything, just sharing my experience.

Glycine Airman Purist “Vintage” vs. Contemporary

Cross-posting this from the 24-hour watch forum, where it languished. (I hope that’s OK.)

Other than the obvious differences in how they look, are there any significant differences between the Glycine Airman so-called Vintage (GL0376 and similar) and the Glycine Airman Purist Contemporary (GL0494 and the like)? If there’s anyone who has experience with handling or wearing both, I’d love to hear your impressions. Thanks!
