Hey all,
Just wanted to explain some reasoning here. We decided to split this model out from the rest of them since it is by far the most popular colorway within the Combat Sub line, and wanted each to have its own spotlight for the duration of the event. The premium price was to reflect the colorway being in high demand; that being said, I understand the optics of the situation aren't ideal and will be dropping the pricing down.

Has anyone got any pictures of this watch on their arms? I like to see a actual watch on someones arm before purchasing it. There are so many photoshopped pictures of watches now on people’s arm that do not really show how the actual watch looks, sits on your arm and are totally misleading

Thanks! That's my favorite combo at the moment. I got the strap from Vario, a Singaporean company that ships internationally. They have very nice graphic NATOs.

So that's the reason why the GE wasn't offered in the last Combat Sub drops, in order to offer it in a separate drop at a premium price.
I hope users will not endorse this behaviour by joining.

EwenFRI suspect it, like the GL0091 (Green Bezel) Combat Sub has become scarce at the moment.

I went ahead and got this watch awhile back from one of the online retailers for $100 more than what Massdrop is selling for. Mind you the other Combat color schemes typically go for $399 so the GE is fetching more or being charged more for, depending on how you look at it.
The pics do the bezel no justice, this is the darker view of the bezel as it really shifts in color with lighting. It's not a bronze/brown color but changes between this and gold -- it is actually mostly gold in direct lighting. The strap is quality, I would suggest getting the actual canvas/leather strap and just buying a nato strap for $20 somewhere if you want to try that out. I don't think you can get that strap for $20 but a nato-style strap is easily had for cheap.
The watch wears thin for a combat, will fit under dress shirts fine. Looks great in all occasions! When holding the watch, it feels a little light and well, thin. Although sitting on the wrist or looking from a 3rd person it's a handsome looking watch.
My only gripe about the watch is the feel and click of the bezel, it is cheap feeling. Of course you're not going to be adjusting the thing nor are you actually going to go diving with this so not a problem there. When you turn the bezel, not only is there play/movement before clicking over, the amount of steps/clicks is low. The click sound kind of sounds cheap too. Again, you're not going to be using this feature while wearing more of something you set in the morning if the bezel has moved throughout wear.
At this price it's a no brainer really, a handsome watch at a great price. The canvas strap wears out rather easily as well, so maybe save those for the occasions and rock this with a nato strap off the bat. Get one!

That's not my wrist on the pic, just wanted to show the chameleon effect of the gold. I do have a 8" wrist but i dont mind wearing them on the smaller side

For those wondering, the color is very close to the ones in the picture; the bezel is more brown than gold.

Raider12All watches these days, are heavily discounted, especially on the gray market, except the really high-end stuff that is not offered on the gray market. You can get a little discount on a Rolex, but everything else expect 60% off often.

Raider12hugely inflated then a massive price drop to make you feel like you’ve got a good deal. I’ve had both the auto and quartz versions of the sub and both were poorly finished. Even at this price, I still felt cheated. The quartz felt like a steal at $103 on here since it had a retail price of over $500. My wife said it looked like I got it out of a cereal box. It was junk. Loose bezel, uneven dlc, markers misaligned. Yet even with these flaws it sold for more than I paid for it. Glycine still lives on past reputation as evidenced on here

So is it New or Old version? I don't want to pay for new one with nodrilled lugs and that ugly gold bezel color.

So I guess I can't cancel the standard drop from yesterday (GL0092) then and buy this instead? I would've waited for this model if I'd known, I assumed that massdrop wouldn't be getting it again hence why it's not been part of the standard combat sub drop the last couple of times.

I joined the drop because i really wanted the watch but i feel like i paid a 50 USD premium up.
Normale the price of this one is the same as all the other Combat subs and not more.
Massdrop this is not fair to your loyal clients.
