| Alan, I think that one is a REAL winner !!! ..It's similar to the one with the orange inner bezel, that I think you had liked a while back. This one is even better though imho. The dial, case shape, colors, movement, and bracelet bring a unique formula to the table !  ..The end links are interesting, but don't think it's really a problem. By the way, there is a version of this on a strap just in case ! ____________________________________  | |

| I saw it on the strap...
...save my Steinhart though, I am a bracelet man.
Those end links dont look like they would be solid...? ____________________________________  | |

| Solid endlinks are overrated! That style endlink has been on tool watches for over 50 years! Really no different than a mesh bracelet but the link mates up to the case for a cleaner look! |

You have liked these for a while I think, so don't let any worry about those end links get in your way !  ____________________________________ | |

That watch would look SWEET on mesh too! I can't seem to get away from the mesh! ____________________________________ | |

| Interesting watch. Not sure about the Yellow-Orange pointer. Like your Steinhart a bunch better (and my Bernhardt for that matter). |

I actually posted the wrong pic...LMAO! The bracelet IS the focus, but this is the watch...  A bit simpler and I like the Two-Tone Dial... ____________________________________ | |

A bit simpler and I like the Two-Tone Dial... Yes, I like that one better. Its more of a classic Airman model. Still not a fan of the bracelet endlinks. Just don't like those that try to look like a continuation of the links when its really not. Not sure why but that's how I react to those nearly all the time. |

| Same here Doc...
IF........I got this watch, would have to put on something different. Those end links KILL it for me... ____________________________________ | |

| Alan, I REALLY like that Glycine. It's definitely a winner, just as it is. I think you should sell me your Steinhart and buy the Glycine. What do you think??? | |

Heck no! That watch is the only one I have EVER liked on a strap (for me personally). Something about the 24 hour watch IS cool... ...you don't see those on the boards everyday. ____________________________________ | |

| 24 hour watches are cool in theory but man getting used to one is a PITA IMHO FWIW. |

I like how this one has the MINUTES marked, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. The hours are ok, without those minute markers it could get tough! ____________________________________ | |

...you don't see those on the boards everyday. What happens is that people can read them when they concentrate on what they are seeing but make ongoing mistakes with reading them at a glance unless they go to 24 hour exclusively. It's REAL easy to think its one time when its really another with 24 hour clocks. |

| This new one looks GOOD also Alan ! ..I admit I did like the yellow, and orange on the other version. Nevertheless,this Glycine is REALLY NICE ! ..It's still different looking, and it's still very very cool !!! ____________________________________ | |
