I did a thing. Yes, technically it's not a G-Shock but holy crap it's nice in the flesh.

Asking those here who dabble in mods: who produces the best aftermarket titanium cases and bracelets, if I want to have a bit of fun creating a Frankenstein G-Shock?

I am tempted again by the purchase of a Full Metal Square.

Anyone has real life pictures of these two to show? Which do you prefer?

This is the Momentum UDT, which I just got in a trade, to use as a travel watch. It's not a traditional Flyer GMT watch but the workaround is to have local time in the small dial, while the main dial I will set to a visited timezone.

The watch is very well made, fit and finish is impressive for the price and it features a solar movement and Sapphire glass. However I'm not too fond of the bracelet, the center polished links look awkward and detract from the tool watch aesthetic. And the part...

A bit on the chonky side (15mm) but I'm really impressed with the quality of the finished Smiths. True GMT (Miyota 9075) and no date, as I like them (check my signature, none of my automatics have date windows. I tolerate them on quartz watches - I know, I'm weird). 200m water resistance will ensure its a perfect vacation watch!

Removed the Jubilee style bracelet (too lazy to size it for now - that will come) and put it on a a Hirsh strap that I had lying around.

Strap suggestions welcome...
