This Glycine GL0122, running on a Sellita SW200-1, has made it through almost 3 years of daily wear before a Sinn took its daily driver spot. Three years of abuse in the heavy construction industry. It's getting a polish and full service of its movement.

To anyone looking for an affordable tool watch that will take anything you can throw at it, I got mine for $275 on eBay, and I'm spending more than that to prolong it's life. That's the single best product recommendation I can give.

Op, that's a sharp watch. if you have a minute, I would love to see a side shot showing off the convex dial.

I'll see what I can do when it comes back to me. It's currently in the shop for a rebuild and lubrication of the movement, as well as a hand polishing of the case. I'll drop another post when I get it back and manage to get a good picture or two.

It really is so much watch for the money. Sometimes they run an upward of $700-$800 used on eBay, but they can be found around the 300 mark. For anyone that needs a tool watch that actually meets the "tool" criteria for not a lot of money, this is my number one suggestion.
