I saw this in a 'style' magazine today. It looks like a new line and is a total rip off of the Superocean 2 model. http://www.glycine-watch.ch/e/collectio ... lay=100029 |

In all fairness I wouldn't say a colored chapter ring, a rubber bezel, and an integrated rubber strap weren't all that original or grounbreaking when Breitling designed them. Rip off? Nah...i see two competitors making Non-inovative watches. |

There is a little similarity on one of them, but not enough to say they coppied anybody!!! only one out of 6 even had a colored chapter ring. Glycine has been around a long time and do not need to copy from anyone!!! |

I don't think it's a stretch to suggest this new piece, the yellow version of which seems to be the primary model, was inspired by the yellow abyss SOII. Almost all watch brands "borrow" from each other. Nothing new there. |

In fairness to the OP, that is a very similar watch to the SO2. What makes me wonder is why anybody would copy the SO2! |

Sorry, but Glycine introduced its watch WAAAYYYYY before Breitling did - Breitling's recent releases are just knock-offs of cheaper brands.
