Steve my dad had a Glycine that looked similar to that. He got it from my mom when they got married in 1968. He was so attached to that watch, but about 7 yrs. ago he gave up on it. It was costing him $200 a year in maint. Is yours a new one and does it have a sapphire crystal?

this is a good site to with more detail and historical data.

It's about 1.5 years old and does have a sapphire crystal. There are several cool models out. The Airman 8 which is the model I have is probably about the closest to the old 60's models. There's another model out that is a limited prod model called the Vintage V that's really close as well, there are still some of those available.

The Vintage V

The Vintage and the 8 are both 36 mm, there's also a 40mm called the Airman 2000, a couple of 42mm, and a 46mm

The Airman Special


The come with several different dial colors too. The Airman 8 that I have was $925 from www.falconwatch.com. The guy at Falcon Watch is the guy to buy from in the states. He's been a Glycine seller since the 60's or maybe 50's.

You can also often find vintage Airmen from the 50's and 60's, but be careful there are some fakes running around on E-bay. There's a forum for them at http://www.watchuseek.com/forums.htm
