New Komfit on my SM300
I don't change watch often as my Seamaster is my Grail, but I do often change the strap....
I posted a poll a couple of weeks ago as to whether I should get a Bonklip or Komfit bracelet, as I fancied something different and historical for my very retro timepiece.
Must admit, I was more drawn to the style of the Bonklip, but after putting it out there for the group wisdom to decide I went with your choice.
Buying process was easy, I went to Forstner UK , paid a reasonable £115 & it turned up a couple of days later. Its been on wrist (continuously- I sleep with a watch on, seems bizarre some folks don't) for 24 hours and it's very comfortable.
Shocked when I first took it out of the rather nice packaging at how light it is! I'm usually someone who values a bit of heft (hate Titanium watches) so was initially disappointed - it's pretty much the exact opposite of my Staib tapering Milanese mesh I often wear it on.
Putting it on the watch is very easy (sprung ends) but fastening it up on wrist is a right PITA... Once on its secure , infinitely adjustable for the perfect fit.
I like my watch fairly tight, I don't like it moving around & I've found no hotspots so far.
Looks smarter than the Staib, which although pricey & well made does look generic apart from the taper.
So my retro Omega Diver now proudly wears it's NASA used Komfit - but that's ok, I'm highly unlikely to go swimming in space but at least I'm covered just in case 😂😂
Forstner Komfit, wide fit (18mm) with horned ends.
Been into watches since early 90's. Omega owner, Triumph rider, professional Vaper.
Dude, that looks LEGIT! Love those horned lugs.
I would agree about the fiddly nature of putting it on, but once it's on, feels super secure and easily adjustable.

Thanks mate, I'm well chuffed with it 👍🏻

Yup, same here. Crazily enough, maybe not as EXTREMELY hardy as a single pass, I can see why NASA went with it.
Classy, "space-agey", elegant, very light, easy wearing, yet very tough, easily adjustable, and once fastened VERY secure.
Prolly gonna end up with at least one more.

Yeah, agree.
Think I'll try a Bonklip next, on one of my Willards.
Cheers mate 🍻

Thank you for telling me the correct spelling of Komfit, I'd have been looking forever for "Comfit" 😂😂
Thank you 👍
I love it! That looks sick mate!
