New addition. Bb58, Forstner jubilee

Well, I love my bb58 blue. Decided to get a used bb58 black. It is pristine and looks new. As soon as I got it, I ordered a Forstner jubilee. I am blown away. I love it on this bracelet! The new clasp also has submariner style adjustments (not as many but more than one as an easy link would). You can also use your original Tudor clasp but I love the adjustability of the Forstner. Their web site doesn’t indicate it has the quick adjustment so this was a nice surprise! Love it, highly reccomend this with the new upgraded adjustable on the fly clasp.

Love it!

I'm very interested in the new Monochrome BB and one of the appeals is the 5 link OEM!

I have the bb burgundy on jubilee. Its terrific.

I was considering the monochrome but the bb58 on jubilee for about half the cost wins for me. The watch looks stunning on the jubilee. I was worried it would feel cheap but it doesn’t at all. I also like the hint of red. Just wish it didn’t have fake patina, although I don’t mind it (just prefer without it).

Looks great. I have a BB58 blue on a Ranger bracelet with t-fit clasp. Will the ranger t-fit clasp fit on these?

Congrats on the new BB58 black! The Forstner Jubilee sounds like a fantastic addition, especially with the surprise quick adjustment feature. It's great to hear how much you love it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Congrats! Love the watch! I have the same one on its original bracelet. I was able to get a perfect fit with the US half link, and using the clasp hack I learned on YouTube.

Considering newest BB58GMT.

Does this Forstner jubilee fit that watch?

I love the BB58 on the Forstner jubilee. Usually wear it like that. But mine does not have the adjustment like yours, I guess because it's a bit older.

Not sure. They have 2 options available. One with their own clasp (which I have). Another one that is if you want to use the Tudor clasp. So if the clasp is the same as the bb58, it should work on the model they offer for the Tudor clasp. Not sure if the ranger t-fit is the same size as OEM bb58.

I didn't realize Forstner had the self adjusting clasp? Don't see that on their site. Do you have the link please?

Thank you

It doesn’t say it has it and the pics show the old clasp. When I got mine, it had the quick adjustment though! They really should update their web site info and pictures!

Haha, no it just occurred to me today the Tudor BB58 had a similar name to my favorite plane from when I was a kid. Plus I was really bored today….
