At the request of the mod, now with more domed face action. Just came home from the shop today after a full movement service, gasket replacement, pressure test and hand polish of the case. $350 service on a watch purchased for $275 and worn daily for two years in a heavy industrial job.

If you can’t tell, I highly recommend glycine as an entry level tool watch.

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.
