I’m surprised how many of these I actually fancy. It’s a number greater than zero, which is surprising.
The 2 glicene jobs have got me doing man maths… Might sell some old golf bats.

One Glycine. The blue-dial Airman has gone now. Anyway, the Combat Sub is made for you - it’s an actual grown-up’s watch: 48mm but not fat on the wrist.
Happy to take split payments from people like you that I know well
I’m not surprised that the Glycine is gone. It’s nice.
Visually the bullhead chrono is the pick of the litter for me. Someone needs to buy that.
To be honest I’m surprised just how few he has listed. I was expecting a 40% cull, so maybe 70 watches?
Happy to part-ex for your IWC or Speedy or…
OK, I’ll have a sleep on it, and thank you.
I’ve tried wearing a watch again for the last few days.
I found it again upstairs this afternoon. It had stopped.
I think I’ve lost the knack.
I thought the Combat was lovely. If I was still diving I would have seriously gone for it.
But I have a watch.
You need to fall in love again, dearheart - out with the old (to me, obvs), in with the new (guess what?)…
Gone fishing…
In my yoof I yearned for a decent diving watch. Bought a few, swopped them, had them pinched. All cheap ones. One broke at 50m when I needed it. Dreamt of a Rolex at the time.
After 600 plus dives never got one.
Still dreaming.
A lot of it’s jewellery - the no BS option that genuinely is made by a saturation diver who realised all his generation had sold their Rolexes when the prices went silly - is the Scurfa: odd name, brilliant watch.
All that said, a mechanical watch is - at best - a backup to a modern dive computer: they do so much more.
I’ll go to my grave wishing I’d had the pods (and £££££!) to learn to SCUBA dive, but that ain’t happening now.
I always had a mechanical / battery backup. Once on a 45 min decompression stop the computer switched off cos it was bored and the buddies watch saved the day.
For long decompression stops we used to take a paper book. Read a page, turn it over, rip it off, throw It away.
Happy daze.
Sorry, back to the thread.
Ha ! I remember those days
Split this shit soon ffs.
Updated with sales made elsewhere.
Drop me a line with an offer if you’re interested in anything.
The worst I can do is laugh sarcastically and have you killed
