Patina on a Glycine Bronze? Experiences and Pictures much desired!

Hey watchpeople

As you may have seen in my last post, I'm really fascinated by the value of the Glycine even though I understand (and share to some extend) the skeptizism towards the brand. But to me this might just be the most appealing Diver in this price range (which i can afford).

Now I've seen that there's bronze-versions of the Combat Sub and was wondering wheter some of you have some experience with those. I'd be very interested in seeing some Glycine Bronze Subs with Patina.

If it looks big is because my wife got me the 48mm by mistake but I did not want to make her feel bad. Also I do clean my watches so I don't think patina would build as much.

beautiful, thanks! yes, 48 would be a bit huge for me as well, but it looks stunning nevertheless. can the numerals on the bezel "gain" patina as well or how's that built?

LOL no the 48mm is too heavy for small wrist the 42mm is perfect in my opinion. I know Glycine has some 36mm but not bronze. I will say this for less than 500 bucks you can't touch Glycine not Seiko, not Tissot or a microbrand. You get the heritage, the build quality a SW-200 Swiss made movement. I know sounds freaking crazy but the only watch that can trade blows with the combat sub would be the Citizen Promaster Fugu. Both have heritage and build quality for the money is quite good definitely way better built than Seiko. I would even say if you do not want to spend as much even the quartz combat subs look amazing!
