Product Description
Glycine’s 24-hour Airman is an icon of the watch community. Originally designed for pilots, it’s found a wider audience since its release in the 1950s, not only for its unique design—the dial is numbered 1 through 24, with the 12th numeral at the 6 o’clock position—but also for its ability to display second and third time zones Read More

I don't know where is the correct spot for my message - here, in "Discussions" or, probably in "Reviews"... Anyway, I got my Airman Base 22 (GMT version "Luminous") a couple of months ago. I took some pause before expressing any opinion just to accumulate enough data and impressions. I got my watch from eBay dealer "Watchgooroo" because this specific version disappeared from drops of Drop.com for a while. The price was about $580. Could be better, but generally - OK. My bottom line conclusion is exceptionally good. This version belongs to post Invicta acquisition era, so it equipped with Sellita SW330-1. The accuracy of the watch is +4 sec a day measured during two months . Actually, it falls inside COSC certification specs for chronometers, even better. Take into account that Airman Base 22 isn't defined as chronometer. PVD looks perfect, the band is a simple but nice NATO band. The color of the dial not shown correctly at the picture - it's actually wonderful mixed white-yellow-light green and it looks gorgeous in the dark and during the day too. The front crystal is sapphire with AR, but the special story is the back presentation crystal - it's so beautiful with some very-very little degree of opaque - I'm not able to describe how it's nice! Frankly, I don't understand the Internet discussion "ETA vs Sellita", IMHO this discussion doesn't make sense. It's clear that today there is no significant difference in quality, implementation level, robustness, etc. of these to manufactures. My respect for Glycine as a watch manufacture - very good job done!

Still on the fence about this brand, but I say, any day we have a choice between 13 watches in the Watch Community is a pretty good day!

So, no combination of GMT and bracelet or I'm just not seen it? ( I mean with blue-black dial)

RayFAbsolutely loved the watch but a little too overwhelming for my wrist size (6.5") even though I have other similar sized watches, this one wore a lot bigger.

Can anyone tell me if you can see the hands and read the time easily with the white hands on the white watch face?

At $529 this would be a much better deal if the original list price was maybe $5000 instead of “only “ $270.....

I received my Glycine base 22 purist and intially loved it. However, upon inspection, I noticed the hour hand is slightly misaligned. The hour hand does not align with the particular hour. The alignment occurs when the minute hand is at the 22 minute mark. Has anyone else encountered this problem? This gives another meaning to Base 22. All jokes aside, I am disappointed

Since there were no more in stock, Drop gave me 2 options: 1. Send the watch in and receive a full refund or 2. Keep the watch and receive a partial refund. I picked the 2nd option. And rather than sending it to the repair place which the manufacturer is directing everyone and pay more money, I opted to take it to a reputable watch and jewelry store here in Okla. City. For what it would have cost me to send it to Utah and be without it for months, the watchmaker fixed the problem in a couple of days. It turned out that the hand needed to be reset and tightened. Evidently it was slightly loose causing the slip.

BlueOnyxI also have the same problem. I hope Drop can fix this. Thank you for your input. I assume any local jewelry store can fix the misalignment?
