    Tempting but for two facts: 1) they're big, 2) I already have two Airmen
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Indeed! Once wanted an Airman, but could not find it and got a Seamaster GMT. I have been completely happy with that choice to the point I no longer look.

    Yeah, 44mm, no bezel, and longish lugs is just too big for me these days.

    Plus, any Glycine I like would probably overlap too much with my Ranger, and you know how I feel about overlap (and how I feel about my Ranger).

    The 42mm Airman with bezel actually sits quite well for the size, and it's not too large for me. The curvature and thinness are very good. But as Raza says, the ones without bezel at 43-44mm look huge on the wrist. Prices are great though.

    Yeah, that one is nice and it looks good on you.

    Gosh... What a very tempting deal!
    Do the autos use eta 2824 or they use sellita or something else?

    The Airmen and GMTs use ETA 2836, and the Incursores and Combats use ETA2824. Specs are good - sapphire and good lume, nice thin cases, but most of the case diameters are overly large. Obviously the Invicta acquisition has led to a bit of a sell-off.

    I've been fascinated by the Combat... I dont care to much about the invicta aquisition.. A good watch is a good watch..
    Thx for the info Robert..
