I have a love/hate relationship with bronze watches. I like the idea of owning one, but I only keep watches that hold their own against the others in my collection. This is why I sold my $199 San Martin Bronze Water Ghost. At the same time, I struggle with spending thousands of dollars on a watch like a Tudor Black Bay Bronze that is going to tarnish immediately. When I came across this Glycine Combat Sub Bronze, I thought that it might be the Goldilocks bronze watch that I didn't know that I needed. Inexpensive, but not cheap.
In my recent review of the solar and Bluetooth "Casioak," I said that it was nearly my perfect spec G-Shock, but that it lacked the high-end feel of my blue metal GM2100N-2A. I bought a blue resin solar/BT model to swap modules and create my dream Casioak. Read the article to find out what happened!
As hard as it is for me to believe, this year marks my tenth wedding anniversary, which means it is also the tenth anniversary of me receiving my Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph (2210.50.00). I thought that it would be interesting to revisit my watch in a 2022 context. My watch also recently received a few upgrades and improvements and a bit of laser welding that I'll discuss.
