Re: The Glycine Airman Special
I love the look of the airman, but the "at a glance" readability of the 24 hour dial has always worried me (especially if worn in rotation), so I've never taken the plunge.

I'll second that. Looked many times but don't think I could read them too easily.gaf1958 wrote:I love the look of the airman, but the "at a glance" readability of the 24 hour dial has always worried me (especially if worn in rotation), so I've never taken the plunge.
The condition of that one is insanely good. They could have polywatched that crystal though.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Re: The Glycine Airman Special
Having just taken delivery of an Airman 18, I approve of this article. The Airman is a brilliant 200m WR GMT for less than 10% of the cost of an GMT Master II at current gray market prices.
