Yeah!  About 2 years ago, I was talking watches with a new employee at our company. I had seen him wearing various quartz watches. So, I knew he had a little love for watches. I began telling him how I got into mechanicals. And, started giving him links to some of my favorite brands, and showing him some of my little collection. Well; he fell in love with the Glycine F 104. I told him that the only reason I didn't own was that I thought 52mm was a bit too big for my wrist. And, I love 42+ mm size cases. 'Love em! hand6.gifWhat did he do? He went and ordered an F 104 with the white dial. His wrist is more like 7.25". Mine is 7.5". It's a beautiful timepiece. And, it has been in constant rotation with him since the day it arrived. And, on ocassion, I ask him to see it. And, I put it on... and, give it back. (if it were just a bit smaller... ha!!). The other day he was wearing it, and he handed it over. I wore it for about 2 hours. That did it! It actually seemed to be getting a bit smaller on my wrist! I had to have one. I began a search. No luck. Glycine stopped making the F 104. Crap! I want one with the black dial, too. Not to say, the white isn't really sharp. It is! Finally, I called a dealer that I had visited a couple of years ago while on a trip out west. They have a couple F 104's! And, they are an authorized Glyicne dealer, too. I'm ordering it today. He is also throwing in a black strap. cool! For your viewing pleasure, here are a few photos that I took of my buddy's F 104 a few days after it's arrival in 2006... On my wrist... As you can see his wrist is smaller than mine... Some of you are probably wondering if the F 104 on the dial is lumed. It's not. The dots, and the hands are lumed nicely, however. The Unitas 6498 movement is unadorned save the Glycine F 104 engraved on one of the movement plates.  Yeah! I'm really looking forward to getting one of these. I always said that if Glycine would have offered it in a bit smaller case, I would buy it. But, I am very excited to have finally decided to pull the trigger, and buy one. The dealer is also throwing in a black Glycine strap. And, in case anyone was wondering, these are no longer being made. Email me if you are interested. He has a couple left. And, at least one is the white dial version. And, this is an authorized  dealer. Now; who was it that is offering that Dievas! AGP???!!!  Actually; I know. I just haven't made a decision yet. - Greg |

I never liked these too much in the past. But, I do now...   Cream Dial (if available) would be good, since the F 104 is black.- Greg Last edited on Sat Mar 15th, 2008 10:27 am by GKH |

It's pretty slick! Oh! And, it's 46mm. Here we go..    Last edited on Sat Mar 15th, 2008 10:55 am by GKH |
