    For sale is my Glycine Combat Sub ref. 3863 in near-mint condition. Worn rarely for 3 months. Still has over 4 months left to the factory warranty.

    This one is hard to let go, but it has sat in my box for over a year because the vintage bug has taken over, and now its competition has really multiplied.

    As I now look at it again in detail, I'm starting to fall in love with it all over again... you must take me from my misery! The deep, dark blue dial is subdued at night, but get it in the daylight, and it is a show!

    Sale Includes:

    Everything that came with it when I purchased it new from the AD: signed waterproof strap, signed chrome buckle, hang tag, clam box, outer box, papers, receipt, and warranty card.

    Condition: near Mint.

    I looked the watch over carefully, and I could not find any swirlies, although I cannot guarantee there's not one somewhere (probably depends on magnification). What I did find, was a lug scratch on the outside part of the upper left lug (see 2nd to last photo for detail), an also a very faint scratch on the bezel from 30-35. There may be light inside lug scratches from strap change, but there are none visible with strap in place.

    Details, details:

    Stainless steel 316L case
    Anti-reflective Sapphire crystal
    ETA 2824-2 Automatic movement
    Factory-drilled lugs for easy strap changes
    Screw-down crown
    Superluminova numerals, hands, and bezel PIP
    Dive Depth rating: 200m

    Dimensions:

    Case width: 42.5mm Bezel: 42.5mm
    Case Length: 51mm
    Lugs: 22mm
    Thickness: only 10.5mm. Thinnest diver I ever met (although I never met Jacqueline Bisset!)

    Edit: I forgot to mention that the date wheel has always been very slightly off; i.e., the number appears just a little 'high' in the window, not enough for me to ever whine about, though ;).

    There's a good review on this exact watch (same colors and all) here:

    Price: $600 via PayPal confirmed includes conUS tracked shipping; otherwise PM for a quote.

    PM for questions.
    Watch may be returned in same condition at buyers expense within 3 days receipt.

    Thanks for looking!

    This is a free bump for a truly nice dive watch. I owned one for a while. It wore extremely nicely and exuded quality throughout.
