I've received mine about a week ago, it looks good and does what's advertised - but on one occasion it simply didn't keep m Glycine Combat 6 wound.
I've reached out to Glycine to get some insight, this is what they had to say about this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concerning your question about the rewinding performance of your «Wolf 1834 single winder», we found the following explanation for the low charging rate you achieve on the Glycine Combat 6. As you’ve mentioned in your mail, your «Wolf 1834» turns with a speed of 900 TPD (Tours Per Day) That means, if I translate «TPD» correctly, in the bi- directional mode 450 Tours per direction / Day. If you compare this performance versus an industrial winder such as an Elma Cyclomat orCyclomotion we are using in our AS Service, we analyse a big difference and performance gap between the two models: For this reason, let’s make the following comparison: Your Wolf 1834 : 900 TPD ( Tours per day) or 0.62 Tours per Minute (24 h = 1440 Min) Elma Cyclomat or Cyclomotion : 1440 TPD (Tours per day) or 1 revolution per Minute ( RPM) ( lowest speed) Your movement you get in the Combat 6 is an ETA 2824- 2 or a Sellita SW200. The reduction gear ratio between the oscillating weight and the Barrel / Main spring on these two movements are about 1: 150. That means you’ll need 150 revolutions of the oscillating weight to charge one tour of the main spring. Times max. 8 tours of the main spring are 1200 tours of the oscillating weight. As you can see, the 900 TPD of the Wolf 1834 are not enough for a full rewind of the Watch. We hope that our explanations were a little bit helpful to solve your Winder/Watch Problem. If you’ve any further technical questions about your Glycine Combat 6, don’t hesitate to contact me.

So overall a nice winder, but in this case - looks like my watch requires more TPD.
