    The only one I had was a Glycine Watch Combat Sub 42 GL0093. Can usually get these with big discounts.

    This is my stealth choice. Cushion shape lots of black and a touch of orange with a good strap selection as oem to which I’ve added various nato’s and a strapcode “razor blade” bracelet in black which suits it v well.

    I've two black watches.

    This EZM7S is one of 300 apparently.

    Over budget, but not a mark noticeable on it.

    I've been very taken with that black Citizen Tough Eco drive, having seen recent reviews of the stainless steel cased version on YouTube, as well as being familiar with the previous Ray Mears version. I don't do red tipped seconds hands so the SS model was not for me.

    I struggled to find a UK supplier but was delighted to spot that they are orderable through Amazon Global (so the majority of import are fees taken into account) from an American seller. All in price, was £272. Search for Citizen Men's Black Steel Case Sapphire Crystal Quartz Analog Watch BN0217-02E

    As mentioned in some on line reviews of the standard SS models, the lume is not brilliant. It doesn't last long and has been applied unevenly on the hands. The date window is tiny and so deeply reset, it's hard to read.
    But those are nit-picks. Overall having a nice solar powered quartz movement, in a sturdy case with a strong coating and the monocoque design make it a welcome addition to the collection.

    How durable are these pvd or 'dlc' coatings? I assume they scratch easily and look tatty fast but assumption may be wrong. Are some durable?

    I've a couple, a Carrera from c1983 and a Damasko from 2014. The Carrera is in very good nick but I suspect the Damasko is as scratch resistant as their standard steel ones which means very!

    Love it. Can't go wrong with that and imo much more interesting than the alternatives. Looks very good on you too.

    I've had this one for years but dont wear it enough because it really needs to be re-coated. It doesnt show from the pics but its very worn around the tips of the lugs, the bezel and the crown. I was lucky enough to find a brand new bracelet though.
