This Glycine GL0122, running on a Sellita SW200-1, has made it through almost 3 years of daily wear before a Sinn took its daily driver spot. Three years of abuse in the heavy construction industry. It’s getting a polish and full service of its movement.
To anyone looking for an affordable tool watch that will take anything you can throw at it, I got mine for $275 on eBay, and I’m spending more than that to prolong it’s life. That’s the single best product recommendation I can give.
Classic and classy - i especially love the convex dial. Too many dials today are flat as a pancake.
Op, that’s a sharp watch. if you have a minute, I would love to see a side shot showing off the convex dial.
I’ll see what I can do when it comes back to me. It’s currently in the shop for a rebuild and lubrication of the movement, as well as a hand polishing of the case. I’ll drop another post when I get it back and manage to get a good picture or two.
It really is so much watch for the money. Sometimes they run an upward of $700-$800 used on eBay, but they can be found around the 300 mark. For anyone that needs a tool watch that actually meets the “tool” criteria for not a lot of money, this is my number one suggestion.

Looks no-nonsense and tough, glad to hear it lives up to that. I don’t have a Glycine in my collection yet, this thread has convinced me to research.
Thanks for sharing 👌
They have moon phase models, open heart models, bronze finish models, dive watches, pilot watches and field watches. They have a long history and presence in some of the worlds most notable conflicts. They were purchased by Invicta unfortunately, but this appears to have only been a marketing move, and not much of the product ethos appears to have changed.
If you buy one, I don’t think it’ll let you down.
