To Wind or Not to Wind: Glycine Combat 6
This is the sixth generation of Glycine’s Combat series and for 2009, automatic and manual winding models are available. Both versions share a 43mm diameter case. The automatic, distinguished by the presence of a date function, uses an ETA 2824-2 movement, while an ETA 2801-2 powers the manual winder. Both versions offer a mineral glass display back. Both models are available on strap or bracelet, with black or blue dials, and with stick hour markers or Arabic numbers. Complete specs appear below the images.

First AP arrived and joining the club
First off, I'd like to thank DavidSW and the mod that rectify my posting yesterday. I got super excited and posted the FedEx update and accidentally included my tracking number. Someone actually joked that 11 others were redirecting it as we speak. I thought it was funny but DavidSW didn't and took action pretty quickly to take the post down before anything bad happened. Just never know and I appreciate what he did. I've done two deals with David and this just goes to show what a gentleman he is. Without further ado, on to the pictures to tell the story. It's been a crazy year of purchases, so I'm telling myself that this is IT for awhile. Enjoy the pictures as I will be enjoying my new 15400! Just awesome.

Patek 5167R
I paid a visit to my AD today. I'll be darned if he didn't tempt me with a 5167R.I know it's plain and it has no real complications, but I'll be darned if I'm not tempted.Not many watches in RG that are also on a Rubber strap.Besides there's something about that dial that just looks so good.They also had a 5960P-015, gorgeous watch.So many nice watches, yet so little time.

Which one should I Keep?
I wish to go down to just one from these three lovely Rolex. The reason for the change is that I wish to fund another purchase but I don't want this to affect which one people would keep from the three below. While I accept the Daytona would by itself raise nearly as much as the other two, I also wish to have two nice Rolex, one of these and the new purchase hence why I wish to go down to one - my AD will get a surprise in the new year when I turn up for it! Please put aside anything apart from which you like best and which you would keep and think will be the best to live with for many years to come side by side with one more Rolex. 1. BLNR 2016 - bought new2. Submariner 2010 16610 - bought nos3. Daytona Ceramic white dial - bought new and paid retail
