pgse14 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 This one is for sale for the right price Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Tempting, but unless you're feeling extraordinarily charitable the right price is certainly going to be beyond my current budget . Having just changed from self employed contracting on a weekly invoice to salaried I have a whole month to get through on almost no money. I hope you get a good price for it though, it's a corking watch and has been on my wish list for some time now. I will get one when the time is right.

ricardopalamino Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nice job on the watch pgse14 .... .I picked mine up at the swapmeet for $15 a couple of years ago . I didn't know what it was . It had a crystal so crazed I could barely make out "Glycine" on the dial , and I didn't know what that meant . It had a super cheap SS very fake Rolex watchband on it . I just knew it was Swiss Made from the 10 sided Hex style case back . I came home and looked it up ...my eyes got big and I mumbled "Oh Wow" . I put a new crystal with the parabolic [i think} magnifier and a canvas watch band with cordura lining . I read that they were sold with canvas watch bands . Luckily the hacking feature is working on mine...the little wire that comes out of the case and dial at 12 O'clock when the crown is pulled out to slop the second hand. The pics I'm attaching are from when I cleaned up the bezels on the Airman and my Zodiac Sea Wolf...a Vietnam Era watch popular with servicemen . I,ve also attached a pic of an actual Airman wearing the watch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 i love those glycine watches. every time i see them - especially the newer ones, i get all googly. they are sweet. a classic older tech style watch. classic good looks. i wonder if the older ones that you guys have are radium dials? any way to tell?

ramrod Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 that is a great read. i could imagine that someone could make a killing if they made an aftermarket hacking mechanism. what does it look like and how does it work? is the case water resistant? interesting that they incorporated that hacking mechanism in the case rather than the movement. really cool. is the case stainless or plated?

ricardopalamino Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I got that is a great read. i could imagine that someone could make a killing if they made an aftermarket hacking mechanism. what does it look like and how does it work? is the case water resistant? interesting that they incorporated that hacking mechanism in the case rather than the movement. really cool. is the case stainless or plated? I got a little nervous , I couldn't find my watch...but it was in the first place I looked , but I overlooked it . Whew !! When you pull out the crown a very tiny wire comes out of a hole between the 2 and 4 at the 24hour mark . It's so small I had to use my loupe to see it . I never inspected the hacking when I changed the crystal a while back so I don't know how the wire is connected to the setting mechanism . It only comes out far enough to stop the second hand . The case back is a ten sided design that you would need the right tool to open it . I don't remember how I opened it before . I probably carefully used a crescent wrench , [sorry , I was a newbie . I would not do that now ] , or glued a nut to the back to open it and removed the nut and crazy glue with acetone . The case back says , stainless steel , Swiss , automatic , waterproof , Incabloc , pat. 314050 on the edge . The serial number is in the center portion and it's # 601412 The crown on my bezel lock is not cross hatched for some reason .

ramrod Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 a lot of older watches are plated. that is much of the reason why i don't usually but older ones. the swiss or european watches seem to have plated a lot of theirs. the japanese seem to use SS. i was hoping that the glycine would be ss. i have it as sort of a grail watch. im fascinated by the hacking mechanism. it seems so unusual for a higher end watch to have such a thing that (seems to me) could be so touchy or prone to damage. now, having said that, how in the world does it remain waterproof? it's a very cool watch.
