I'm a huge Rolex Fan but I've always loved this model Airman. I purchased this Glycine in December. I've always wanted one. I love the 24 hour dial. I got a hold of a pretty good example but I wanted to movement overhauled and some work done on the bezel as well as sharpen up some of the lume. I'll be using it as my daily driver watch and I wanted all the features working correctly. The results were more than anticipated. Had it done with RATimeCapsule in PA, USA. Richard was awesome! The relume job he laid on the hands and matching the color is what impressed me most. I don't know if anyone has used him before but his work is great and the communication was top notch throughout the entire process. I apologize for not having any movement pictures. I'm just no good at popping this one off and I don't want to scratch it in the process. Anywho, I wanted to post some pictures on here for any other Glycine owners and enthusiasts. Just got it back today and wanted to show the forum.

Model: Glycine Airman
Case: EPSA, ref 323

Beautiful

That is very nice! I've always enjoyed 24 hour marked watches. I have a Gruen Airflight jump hour that never fails to get a double take.

Very nice and cool! What's the diameter?

Nar987 · 23 April 2015, 11:43 AM

Thanks, Bayerische. It's 36mm without the crown.
