Grew up with my father wearing a Bonklip style bracelet in the 1950's. Still have the now well worm bracelet that I used until I found the Forstner Klip. Purchased 3 of the Forstner Klip bracelets. The 20mm end link model is perfect match for my Seiko 38.5mm Prospex diver - both watch & bracelet have both polished & brushed sections, matching well. The light weight & smaller size of the watch head provide an excellent light weight dress diver combination.

Very cool. Those older one's like your father had are quite collectible. They sure are comfortable on wrist. Thanks!

Like them all, but i got a cheap Bonklip lately (from AliLand of course!) and i'm sure i'll get many more. Amazing feel, breathable, easy to adjust, vintage looks, not much more to ask... For sure this is a way better version, but i can get around 25+ for that price! Thanks for the show Bob, be well mate. PS Bonklip experts insist that they ALWAYS come loose/ clasp untied, at some point, no matter what. It's magic... 😋

I've heard that about bonklip bracelets too. All I can say after wearing it about a week is I'm a big fan. Can't believe how comfortable it is. Thanks Stavros 👊👍

Great video Bob - I had heard of Forstner but have never seen any of their braclets...they look super cool!

Pretty interesting story behind Forstner. It was a lot of fun learning more about the brand. Thanks!

I’ve been wearing either silicone or nylon straps on my watches, including my Breitling. The ladder bracelet may just inspire me to go back to a steel bracelet on my Breitling. I really like the rally look to it.

I like that sort of rally style it has too. Nice bracelet and wears great. Thanks!

More than pleased with my Forstener Presidential bracelet and new clasp. Both are beautiful in construction and very comfortable to wear on my Omega Speedmaster 3861 master chronograph. Excellent video perhaps a follow up one for the Presidential and Nasa astronauts choice in the future

I'm definitely hoping to work with Forstner again in the future. So far very impressed with my experience with the bracelets I have. Thanks!

I can't take it off. The klip is so comfortable. Really like the ladder too though. Thanks!

Beautifully shot and very informative video, thanks. I’ve currently got my Seiko5 reissue on the Forstner Ladder, which I think works very well (much better than the bracelet that comes with it, that’s for sure). The Bullet looks pretty great too, may have to get one sometime. Will now try it out on the Klip 👍
@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces6 ай бұрын
That's awesome! I loved it on all 3. The Klip was so comfortable on it. Yeah the bracelet that comes on it looks nice but it fits a little strange on wrist with how the links don't fully articulate. Thanks!

Nice bracelets, loving the Seiko Bob! What type of strap does it originally come with? These bracelets look great on it too. Has the last flexible bracelet catch hairs? Great review Bob:)
@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces6 ай бұрын
I'll show it in a video soon but it comes on a really cool vintage style bracelet too. So far so good on hair pulling with the klip. Looks like it could but haven't noticed it at all yet. Thanks!

Forstner klip might be the most comfortable bonklip style bracelet. Wait until you wear Forstner Thin as Dime bracelet. It will best in comfort.

I'll have to give it a try. I like the look of that one too. Thanks!

I don’t know if Forster is open to feedback from you, but I think it would be great if they made fitted end links for some other models. Specifically, I think they would do well making end links for the Bulova Lunar pilot. Bulova has sold a ton of those watches, and I think there is a market for a high quality bracelet (like the bullet bracelet that was used on the Accutron) for the watch.
@CryptoMin-bq2zn6 ай бұрын
They make own watch like accutron. They have bullet for accutron too.

@markkulyas24183 ай бұрын
I really wish they would not have tapered them, vintage sizes are pretty dainty and you would like all the width that you can get, wearing it in a modern world you want thickness.

I have just received my "Model 0 Bracelet" for the Tudor BB. It's Junk... honestly. Rattly, tinny, sharp edges, horrible screw pins. Not worth the money.
@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces4 ай бұрын
A friend of mine actually just got that bracelet. Haven't heard anything on it though. I'm happy with the one's I have but these are the only 3 I've gotten hands on with.
