Really impressed with the quality of these Forstner bracelets. I purchased this one for my Tudor Black Bay 58 925. I had seen some online videos of guys putting them on their stainless steel Black Bay 58's, mainly because they didn't like the faux rivets that come on the oyster style Tudor bracelets. My situation was different, the Black Bay 58 925 is a sterling silver case, and it comes with either a nato or leather strap. Mine came with the nato, and I just didn't like it. So I went to the Tudor dealer and ordered the leather strap. That was better, but still I wasn't happy with it, I guess I'm just more of a bracelet guy. So I put the watch away for awhile and even considered selling it altogether. But then I read a review of the Forstner J style bracelet on Fratello where the reviewer specifically utilized it on his Black Bay 58 925 and he was quite happy with the result. so I decided to give a try. I chose the O style instead of the J style for mine because I thought the all brushed finish would work better with the sterling silver case on the 925. It looks great in my opinion. Yes, you can see the variation between the two different metals, but it's not super obvious, and also I think it looks kind cool of actually. And the best part is that I am wearing the watch again after pretty much leaving it alone for the better part of three years.
Lastly, I'm really impressed with the quality of the bracelet, especially at this price point. The two button fully milled clasp with the on the fly adjustment is really well done. Makes you wonder why every watch bracelet doesn't have it (or some version of it). So if you're not happy with the bracelet on your Black Bay 58, definitely give this one a try. Or if you have some other kind of strap and you just want to change it up, this is a great way to go.
The entire family of Forstner bracelets are top quality and in my opinion the best choice for aftermarket bracelets. They custom fit to many popular watches. The finishing is good and they are sized with screws not pins. The model O is a no brainer, classic style and comfort, even has a single spring link for hot weather expansion. Fits my Seamaster perfectly, no trouble getting the spring bars to line up and it even works with the stock Omega spring bars. Good value for the money. Very comfortable
Purchased this Forstner bracelet for my Tudor Black Bay S&G. It is a nice option for those of us who don't want the flashy "G" in S&G bracelet. The quality equals or surpasses Tudor OEM. Very comfortable and great looking. Perfect fit. Buy with confidence!
This Forstner bracelet look and quality surpasses the Tudor OEM bracelet. Excellent clasp. Great feel on the wrist.
This is my 4th Forstner bracelet. Incredible style and build quality. Surpasses many OEM bracelets. If you are considering an aftermarket bracelet for your watch, look no further. They are not inexpensive, but definitely worth every penny.
