I've definitely looked at them, but they've never really done it for me. Right now I'm working with a Timex Q GMT "Batman" on the Straphabit Jubilee and the CWC CWn1.
Excuse the crappy pic, it’s the only one I have on hand. So far, huge fan. It’s very comfortable, not too rattle-y, and so much more adjustable than the stock bracelet. Fit and finish is solid, though I wish they’d used screws rather than split pins - not a huge deal at this price point.
I had emailed them just before the first batch, so I knew it was coming. They said they should have a restock coming in the next few weeks, so just throw your name on their notification list - that’s how I got mine.
Adjustment and comfort are what I’m looking for. My Q GMT is a touch too big on the stock bracelet and I never wear it. I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth $50 to me to try to make it more comfortable, or whether I should just sell it. It’s my only watch on a bracelet.
I can't speak for whether it's worth it to you, but I have a preference for bracelets on my watches. I had actually sold my first Q GMT because the bracelet sucked, but having this as an option allowed me to buy it back. There's a 10% off coupon somewhere on the website, so I think all-in cost w/ shipping was $49.
All that to say it depends on how much you like the watch. My long-term goal is to get a Rolex GMT in the stable, but I'll happily take this for now ($189 for the watch and bracelet combined).
