Exactly how I feel. I like it and I think it would look great on an 8 inch wrist but it's going to wear large on most everybody else. As most of us know, when you make a squarish case, you need to dial back the dimensions. GG already makes fairly big chunky watches though, so they may just be trying to keep their core clientele interested and happy.Rabirnie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:07 amHere’s a side profile shot I’ve seen.

The Field Watch #2 is inspired by the Rolex Oyster Army, Reference 3139. It can be pre-ordered from the Gruppo Gamma site while the Venturo site is under construction.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
It's been a long time coming for the newest Glycine Combat Sub "Vintage" models and they still are not up on Glycine's site. However some of them are finally available from retailers. I believe there may be more so please add to this if you come across any. You'll find some additional pics on Glycine's Facebook and Instagram accounts.

That $1,259 price is what kept me from posting about it.
It has also been three days since project launch and not a single watch backer.
Yikes!

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Great looking watch, but definitely a lesson in what not to do on KS. My other criticism at this price point is the lack of an exhibition back and a decorated rotor and movement. Still, good to see the concept and perhaps they will get the feature x pricing balance better on a future release.TheJohnP wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 10:05 amManOnTime wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:44 amThat's gonna be way out of my price range, but WOW.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:37 am An interesting KS watch with ETA 7750, ceramic bezel, AR-coated sapphire, screw-down crown AND pushers, Superluminova hands, indices and bezel, grade 2 titanium case and bracelet...appears to tick a lot of boxes...the Vesuviate Swiss Chronograph

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
yeah... at that price, i'd rather save 20-30% more and get something like a Farer. or that Maen chrono from last year which was almost half the price. or one of the dozens of more interesting deals in the pre-owned world :/
it's kinda nice, but way too generic for that asking price. hard pass

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
I am really hoping Benrus takes the Glycine/Invicta Group approach to pricing. All three of those watches look great but would be much more palatable at half the MSRP. I just can't pay $1k for a Miyota movement.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
The case to the left may honestly be one of the best field watch cases I’ve handled. I think had they put a Selitta inside and offered a bracelet, these would sell easy. And the double dome is such a pleasure to look at.yinzburgher wrote:Just to add to this, a couple new articles in the past couple days.
