Costco had one of the all-time best prices on a Glycine Combat Sub at $280 for (I think) 5 months. I can no longer find it on the Costco website, so...RIP, Cosbat Sub.
How many of you snagged one?

As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
RIP, Cosbat Sub.

I was at Costco last week and they had them in store. May be worth a look if you have one nearby!

Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
I bought one. The strap is pretty meh, but otherwise a great watch. Perfect size.
Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
I bought one and really liked the overall watch but didn't bond with the Costco colorway and returned it. I then bought a preferable colorway from watchgooroo and love it. I paid about $30 more but much prefer the version I chose.
Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
I was in a Costco (Frisco, TX) last weekend and they had at least one in stock.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
How durable are modern PVD/IP coatings? I've had black coated watches in the past, and the finish basically came off if you looked at it funny, and it looked like crap. It's turned me off of black watches ever since.

Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
I've not really babied my Airman, and have been wearing it almost non-stop since getting it, so it's bumped and scraped things over time. It didn't worry me too much since I don't think a few battle scars or wear marks will be detrimental to its utilitarian aesthetic, but for all my clumsy carelessness I can't see the slightest mark on it yet. I've only had it since January though, so I guess check back with me in a few years?

Re: RIP, Cosbat Sub.
Same story here...The PVD on my Zelos Mako II is fairly bulletproof. Only had it for about a year, but have had it scrape across a nail, a slab of concrete and work on an engine...without any sign of wear. Other watches I have had for less than a year that are brushed stainless are already showing minor wear. Before this watch I was fairly wary of any coatings as I have always been disappointed by them....My opinion has been changed.MAAHHH THE FRENCH! wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 7:56 amI've not really babied my Airman, and have been wearing it almost non-stop since getting it, so it's bumped and scraped things over time.
