I've been eyeing this Q Timex GMT with this specific batman bezel, what are your thoughts on them I found one for 260 USD and was contemplating it, Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Personally, I think that the price on that is too high. With the rapidly increasing proliferation of the NH34, you could probably get something with an automatic GMT and sapphire for a similar amount or less.
It is a good looking watch, but now that both Swatch Group and Seiko have introduced affordable-ish traveler GMT movements I have pretty much written off caller GMT’s. Once the new movements reach the micros, or when they are inevitably cloned by Sellita and others, traveler GMT’s which have been super expensive in the past will be everywhere at very reasonable prices. In fact, I heard in a recent watch podcast someone half jokingly proclaim 2023 the year of the GMT. I would wait to see what develops.
My Q (no GMT) is a great looking watch but whenever I set it and push the crown back in the minute hand jumps a tiny bit and as a result it never lines up the way it should. Far from a big deal but enough to make me crazy. As long as that’s acceptable the whole Q line is pretty nice.
I had the pepsi version and was nice enough, especially if you are into watches 40mm and under. Don't pay over retail - $220ish. Lurk on ebay, amazon, Timex's website etc and you'll get one soon enough!
I was given a Stuhrling Aviator (posted in today's WRUW) and decided to look through their site and found this GMT which also has your black/blue Batman style bezel. I don't know much about this brand but it sure looks quite nice. Sale less that $100. Might just get me one!

Makes sense, What do you think of the Pagani Design they use the NH34?

I agree, What are your thoughts on Pagani Design from AliExpress?

I don't have any experience with Pagani Design, so I really am not qualified to comment on them. I do know that San Martin, Cronos and Octopus/Baltany all have great reputations for value per dollar.

I guess I might try them and will post about them here, I am kind of fascinated by their Worldtimer. Uses the NH34
Really nice banger of a watch. Even at the MSRP the watch is good value, timex margins are pretty thin which is made up on volume for them, other brands mark up double for the same specs. I have several timex watches and they have not failed in all the years I have owned them. They all have marks of a watch being an EDC.

🤷♂️ I have never owned or seen a Pagani watch so I have no personal opinion one way or the other. Maybe someone else with hands on experience can chime in.

I have a couple of Pagani's and they are great for the money. Some of the latest models are using NH34 but are identical to the previous models using an appalling Pearl GMT movement, so be careful when buying that you get the right one.
I have the Q Timex GMT Pepsi and it's very nice. My only complain is the bezel is frictionless and a touch too easy to move, otherwise it's a lovely watch to wear.

That would probably drive me nuts

I also liked the Batman but I've read that it's not for sale directly from Timex, only certain retailers.
If you sign up at the Timex site, you'll get a constant stream of offers for 20-30% off, which swayed my choice.
