JB - Forstner all the way. Forstner started in 1920 and was acquired by Jacoby Bender in 1963 who in the 60's - 70's provided Rolex Jubilee bands for models sold in the USA to lower the import tariff. In 2019, Forstner, and its Komfit band, were re-launched. What's even cooler with the new releases is it says JB on the clasp. The added quality including the screw links over the push pinned Uncle Seiko makes it a no brainer to me. I believe to stay cost competitive almost all Forstner's are no longer US made same as with Uncle Seiko however overseen by Forstners so the quality is there.

The Forstner for the win in my opinion

From what I’ve read the original Forstner bracelets were used on Speedmasters during space and also moon landings.

The Tudor clasp will fit onto the Uncle Seiko on the BB41 GMT. No modification required on the Tudor clasp, so can be easily fitted back onto the Tudor bracelet. I’ve worn my BB GMT loads more now it’s sat on the Uncle Seiko

Love the forstner clasp and tapered look.

2024 retail on the BB jubilee with TFit clasp: 975 usd shipped

I think this confirmed exactly what I was thinking between the two - Forstner seems to be much better quality, however doesn't come in fully brushed, and is more expensive. I ended up going with the uncle seiko for the more discrete look, but definitely would go the forstner instead if I was after a traditional polished jubilee bracelet.

I don't change out my higher end watch bracelets. But I do look into trying to change out my homage/lower end watches. But I'm not willing to pay for a bracelet that's worth as much as the watch. Good video brother 👊🏽

Great video! Your bb looks awesome on the jubilee!

Do they fit on the BB CHRONO too?? Love the Forstner ❤

I have a lot of SanMartin because they are extremely good quality for the price and I like the designs even though they are not original. The most I've spent on one is for the 62 Mas chronograph which I love. I feel like this is a stretch for one of theirs. It doesn't help that I can't make up my mind about it..

Forstner for the Win!!! Like you though both look great and either work well. #BIGTIMEGANG #PrestigeSyndicate

Thanks helped me to decide which one to get

Thanks for the video, I have the US and I find the edges are a little sharper than I like.

UNCLE SEIKO you can put the OEM Tudor clasp on. Can you do that with Fostner?

Awesome content bro... great info💯👊🏼💥

Oh it's too late bro, this is definitely a versus. I'm the customer and the customer is always right 😎😁

hello. Are the endlinks of both products the same size? Is it possible to attach the forstner strap to the Uncle Seiko endlink?

In UK uncle seiko is £95 and Forstner £152.. Uncle S also produces a polished centre link version.

Hi Thanks for the review and comparison. Would the bracelet fit old BB41 Smileys? Thanks once again.

RECENTLY BOUGHT UNCLE SEIKO AND WHAT A JOKE.. sent me an angus link jubilee with a crooked clasp latch and deployment buttons.. 22 mm, barely fit, had to mallet it in, and was a disaster!! Sticking to my original pressed clasp seiko jubilee for now.. uncles finishing was also worse than my seiko.. i blame quality control. Just being honest

Will these bracelets fit a rolex 16710 GMT?

Will this fit with the Black Bay Chrono M79350 as well?

how is the rattle compared between the two?

Is it possible to put the original Tudor clasp on the Uncle Seiko bracelet? I think the clasp of the original is just far better.

Forstner doesn't have black bay 36 bracelet :(

can you please tell me the reference of your tudor? I think it's the black bay steel. However, according to my request from uncle Seiko, the bracelet should not fit. I would be very happy about a feedback! Is ist 79730??

Do you think an Uncle Seiko would fit the Casio Duro? Usually avoid polished cases but last month I had to try a jubilee on a new blue dial Casio Duro. Rookie mistake i went with a $20 jubilee off amazon. Looks amazing like I hoped. The brushed balances out the polished and the blue just gleams like car paint but the cheap sharp end links destroyed the watch. Lesson learned. Great jubilee review by the way!

Telll us how you really feel about the COLD 🥶 and thoughtlesss construction of particular bracelets 🤣🤣🤣

Can you not change out the clasp for genuine Tudor one? IMO it would look much nicer.

I had bad experiences with the uncle Seiko razor. I’m out on them. I’ll stick with Strapcode and Forstner

OMG, the fumbling w/ tiny components, of my fat, mongoloid fingers!!!! Lol. For the most part, I do all of my own "basic" watch repair, and maintenance, but I seriously have no idea how watchmakers do it. And I'm an extremely, mechanically inclined individual. I just do not have the patience, for small components. I feel your pain on that one. Ahhhh yes, the age old bracelet assembly debate.....to screw, or not to screw??? That is the question. I, much like yourself, prefer "pin & collar," over "screw-pins." Yessssss.....I said it!!!! LOL. In all seriousness, I do feel that it is the most secure way, of affixing the bracelet, w/ obviously better longevity, when compared to "clipping-pins," in the durability department. Obviously, I feel that screws would be the pinnacle of durability, but slightly less secure, than both alternatives. As for overall visual preference....the win goes to, the Uncle Seiko. I too, have a fat sweaty wrist, and as such, prefer less of a taper, and thicker links. In the clasp department, I have to go, w/ the Forstner, as well. That said though, I do find the "Strap Code style" of clasp, to be acceptable. More than anything, I feel that the finish of the Uncle Seiko, matched that of the head of the watch, much better. I felt as if the Forstner, appeared to be a little "too refined," than the head of the watch in question. Which, I believe that you did, as well. Excellent comparison video, DK. Thank you for sharing them

Nope
