Put my original on today- forgot how comfortable these things are

 

I guess thats a firm 'no'.

 

I honestly think the appeal of a reissue for this kind of bracelet is to use it on watches with lugs larger than 16mm (the one I posted above is 18 and they are not easy to find- I have never seen a 20), and the skinny bracelet look is kind of limiting- the Komfit has a nerd appeal, otherwise it would just be a weird looking design by today’s standards. I should look at what the others doing this style bracelet are doing for their dimensions.

 

The skinny I posted earlier is on a 20mm lug Lemania. That is how they wore them, because as you mentioned, 18mm is not easy to find (and I don't think they made 20) ... and most watches I have seen with these vintage ones (all skinny) are 20mm lugs (but honestly I have not looked long and hard, and will most likely snap up whatever Forstner makes ).

 

Then I stand corrected- I have never seen a 20mm in the wild, they all seem to have been cut down- as was the norm with several other bracelets, they came in one width and you cut the endlinks to fit...hopefully evenly

 

Just curious: when you’re looking at the name, in your mind’s eye, do you see “Bonk-lip” or “Bon-klip”?

 

Bon-klip, because I don't put the emphAsis on the wrong syllAbel...

Note - this works much better when spoken than written...

Edit - yes here we go...

 

I somehow don’t think that’s how Bob sees it

 

Thank you for not using this guy...

 

lol! Didn’t even enter into my consciousness- but Bad Medicine could apply to watch addiction.

Happy to see these in 18mm, 19mm and 20mm.

ordered

Very pleased with your first JB Champion, high quality, easy ordering interface, shipping was quick.

 

That 18mm is going on this guy, which should be coming back from the spa this week. Excited!

 

This one has been giving me the fisheye for 3-4 years now, so it must be placated first.

 

The fact that the bracelet itself is 18mm is a big deal. The original one I have is 16mm with 18 endlinks and I paid a bit more than what they are asking.

 

Hey- when you get your new one, you can slap that on one of the Mrs. watches

 

How does everyone think these will look on vintage watches? on 33-34mm watches I think the vintage bonklips with 16mm links are perfect. My fear is that since this bracelet has 18mm links it might have a little too much visual mass on 34mm watches. It's the only thing holding me back at the moment.
