Back when grey market was cheaper than retail bought this. It has had some issues however. Calibre of movement 32XXX? had inherent issues. I will put of servicing as I can set a minute or two fast! I rotate then handful of watches anyway. View attachment 3161259

Classic. Pretty dial. They are truly a go anywhere do anything watch.

I love the Glycine Airman. One of the coolest watches ever. The originals are extraordinary. I came *so close* to buying a 1950s vintage Airman Special I saw in a shop in NYC back in 2018. The OG steel 24 hr bezel. 36mm perfection.

For the longest time I wanted a Glycine Airman - vintage or new - but they were priced out of my reach. When Invicta acquired Glycine some dealers on eBay were dumping them for very low prices presumably to clear their inventory, so I picked up this Airman 18.

Case is about 39mm, automatic ETA movement. Few things I like over the original Airmans; screw down set/winding crown - oversized, water resistant to 200m, sapphire crystal. Flecks on crystal are dust, this one is still mint. Going to put a different strap on it just haven't decided which one.

I kinda want that one. Do they all have the same calendar wheel or do the North America ones get Mon-Tues only.

I don't know if that applies. The only watch I have with day/date came from the USA and was made in Australia. It's French/English. All my Gshocks are just English but they're digital.

There was a white dial Fugu that caught my eye two towns over so next trip I'm going to take a second long look.
