That's a nice collection.
I really like the Airman range.
I like the one on the right.
Is that the one with the blue numerals on the bezel and graduated blue/black dial?

Love that Airman 9, if your ever in the mood to sell, give us a shout pls.
Lovely collection, there. I'm a fan of Glycine - love the Airman model and the history surrounding it.
Here's my limited edition Lagunare (1 of 300):
I'm a big fan of Glycine and have had a few:
My favourite was the SST06 but it was just too big. Superb watch though and if they released it in a 40mm case I'd be straight on to it.
This is my current Airman No 1
Lovely little thing
That is a collection in the truest sense of the word! I admire your commitment to that one model. I have had a Combat Sub and whilst I've considered an Airman I ended up with a Bremont MBIII to cover dual time duties.
The Airman 22 Mystery is one of the few "blacked out" watches that I really like the look of.
Great watches. I'm a fan and had a few different airman's.
Serious collection!!
You're thinking of the Airman 17, which I don't have (probably too large for me).
I have:
- Airman 9 (44mm)
- 4 x Airman 18s (39mm)
- Airman 1 (36mm)
On my WTB list are:
- Double 12 (40mm)
- Base 22 (42mm)
- DC 4 (42mm)
- 53 Vintage (42mm)
- SST12 (43 mm)
- lots of vintage / discontinued models

The Airman 01 is 36mm and has a ~45mm lug to lug length.
The Airman 18 is 39mm and has a ~46mm lug to lug length.
The Airman 22 is 42mm and has a 50.5mm lug to lug length (also Glycine quotes 42mm across, it's actually 41.3 or thereabouts - I measured)
The Airman 17 is 46mm and has a ~56mm lug to lug.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
And for those interested here's a link to the Glycine Airman 'bible': http://andres55.home.xs4all.nl/glycine%20airman.pdf
Great watches!
I bought an Airman 18 Saphir at the beginning of the year but couldn't get on with the leather strap, it's really thick and very stiff, so I swapped for a mesh.
Recently bought the Airman 9 for a massive saving on RRP but it's large (for me) size and again leather meant I've passed it on to a friend.
The lugs look long and give it some bulk - is that how it appears in reality? I've been interested in one of these but thought that 36mm with a thick bezel would be small, but picture suggests otherwise and it looks good.

I bought a Combat KMU48 from here a couple of years back and love it. Sadly it gets no time on the wrist but I like the watch so much I'll not part with it. The dial goes from denim to black in the list and there is a sunburst style effect too. With the PVD case and dark strap it really does look great.
Nice collection op. I'd like a vintage airman one from the sixties when funds allow.
They make nice watches, don't they.
Have a Combat Sub, a Combat 44 with red fumée dial (up for sale soon), and a Ningaloo Reef Compliqué (a 7751 movement) so not a big Gycine collector but I do like them.
Enjoying this thread. Glycine do make some cracking watches.
I'm definitely up for an Airmen or a Combat Sub. I here nothing but praise for them
Had the Goldeneye but sold it...and now I'm considering it again! Really like the red bezelled combat sub - had thought of it as a black bay cheaper alternative.
Any more pics of it on different straps?
I've been lucky enough to have a couple. Both Great watches...
Thanks for sharing Neil. Three years ago in Basel a blue Airman was amongst my favorite watches seen there. Somehow forgot to take a picture. Tried to Google it after the show and found this (pic below).
This is listed as an Airman 17, but yours seems to be from another series. Is that a size thing only?
