Glycine Airman GMTvsCWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman GMT's ability to track three time zones with an easy-to-read dial layout. However, some owners find the GMT hand visually similar to the minute hand, suggesting a red paint for better distinction, a sentiment echoed by reviewers who note the thin, unlumed GMT hand can be hard to read against the black dial. One owner praises the 39mm sizing and 200m water resistance of a related model, noting its good build and finishing from when Glycine was independent. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Glycine Airman GMT offers practical multi-time zone tracking, though legibility of the GMT hand is a recurring point of discussion.

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
