Got this from one of WatchRick's offers on PMWF. Nice price, nice piece. I wanted a Fleiger for my collection as the only one I have is an Aeromatic. I wanted to step it up a bit, but found that while I wanted to fill a niche in the collection, I didn't really want to drop any major coin on a Fleiger. I was trying to resolve with myself if the Glycine Combat I have could be considered a Fleiger and then this popped up. This has a the right stuff with the ETA 2824 and sapphire crystal, 40mm case. I was glad there was no onion crown as they bug me a bit... According to Rick this one has the rarer red second hand. The whole kibash is assembled in China I think...perhaps another Asian country. At any rate, rock solid construction, seems to be running well so overall, I'm happy. It came on a matte black shrakskin, but I am considering dropping a Bond NATO on it. Otherwise the Bond goes on my Combat. Opinions? One quick snap... All the best, Pax

Congrats Pax. That is Awesome!!! I was actually considering to buy one couple of weeks ago. However, IWI do not ship to Singapore:( I like the Glycine combat and that will be the next in my Must Have List:) Enjoy the watch...

I really like the watch, the red second hand and the strap. I like it just as is. But, I have never owned or tried a Nato on any watch. So, what do I know?:D

Thanks for the input guys... I am gonna test drive it as is. When the Bond arrives I might try it out, but I think y'all may have dissuaded me for the time being. Where to go with the Bond? Pax
