Forstner - I just can’t say enough good about them
It is rare that an aftermarket bracelet has the comfort and style to compare with the OEM. Typically the aftermarket will excel in one category while giving up ground in another. Fit may be perfect while the clasp may be lacking, and so on…
I now own two Forstner bracelets for my Seamaster and they are both top notch. In addition to the jubilee pictured here, I also have the oyster style. Both have distinct vibes and I interchange them regularly.
One thing of note about Forstner is that their bracelets are dramatically lighter than most OEM pieces. Depending on your preference this could be good or bad. I don’t mind it one bit personally.
Give ‘em a look if you want to switch things up!

Here's a Forstner Komfit, very light but comfortable and very secure.
Not tried their normal bracelet, will see if they do one in 21mm for my SM300 heritage 🤞🏻

That looks fantastic. Nails the vintage vibe.
I love their flat link bracelet, it goes great with my Seamaster & Aqua Terra. I had originally worn it with my Speedmaster which I have since sold. It looked superb on it, way better than the original bracelet.
Super high quality bracelets. I’ve got the straight end link “Bullet” bracelet for my Nivada Grenchen super Antarctic. Love it on that Seamaster!😮💨
Forstner and Uncle Straps are my favorite aftermarket bracelets.
Interesting! Would you be willing to share a pic of that?
I got the Forstner ladder bracelet (recently on sale at Windup) for this vintage Hamilton Khaki Sub and think it looks and feels great!

LOVE Forstner.
Have a Komfit and a Klip.
I bought a flat link classic for my Seamaster Professional and love it! I did not like the OEM bracelet and clasp. This makes the wearing experience much better. I liked this bracelet so much I bought their jubilee style bracelet for my Speedmaster Moonwatch. Great quality! I did try an Uncle Seiko flat link bracelet but it was just too thin and flimsy for the big Seamaster.
Looks great, when did you get into watch collecting?
