Speedy on a Forstner Flat Link Bracelet
I'm loving the Forstner flat link bracelet on my Speedy. It is so comfortable and gives the watch a great vintage feel. The three stretchy links are brilliant. The bracelet hugs the wrist nicely.
I purchased the polished/brushed version because the all brushed version was sold out. I found the polished outer links not to my liking so I used a Scotch Brite pad to brush the entire bracelet. It only takes a few strokes with the pad and is easy to do. [IMG][/img][/url] ![]() ![]() [url=https://ibb.co/BTHxbL9] ![]() |

Looks really nice, I like it over original bracelet.
I am using Uncle Seiko on my FOIS, very similar to Forstner. In this case, straight polished lugs fits more the style of brushed/polished, in my opinion. ![]() |

Just for you guys to know Forstner has released an more substantial flat link with miled clasp.
I wonder if they will sell the clasp separately and if it fits the classic flat link bracelet just to add on mine https://forstnerbands.com/collection...ga-speedmaster |

I have the first-generation Forstner flat-link (the one requiring two screwdrivers to remove/add links!), but this one seems much, much better. For the past couple of weeks I have been hovering the cursor over the Forstner 1450, but this time I went with just the Contemporary Flat-Link. |

I ticked the box on Forstner's web site giving permission to send me promotional email, and this afternoon I received the email confirming the new, milled clasp is available for purchase separately, and it will fit the 1450 bracelet. Something tells me I'm ordering that bracelet next

Love my Forstner! Have the version with both screws on my FOIS but ordered the new contemporary one. Thought about just the clasp but the longer and thicker links look
