Son of a bitch! ::facepalm1:: I thought that nub was simple styling. . . 🤪

Well blow me down, and paint me purple. How smart is that.( And how stupid did I look fitting it and feel now )

I had an original Forstner on my JLC back when I was a kid. Consequently getting the watch on and off my wrist has been a recall of old muscle memory going back 40 years.

I now have a new one fitted to this JR speedy. I’m liking how the mesh of the bracelet riffs off the pattern of the minute track of the dial.
I’m a fan....

After reading through 22 pages, I ordered mine just now. I sent my Speedmaster off for warranty work (chronograph hand not lining up) a couple of weeks ago so now I wait on both to arrive. Anxious to try out the fit and look. Thanks for all the information and photos....

TBH, I don't love the look of the racing speedmasters, and I don't honestly have a particularly good reason for that, but I can appreciate how well these go together.

Arrived today, super nice. Unfortunately now I have to wait for the Speedmaster to return from service to try it on...

Or you could just buy another Speedmaster. They are like potato chips.

Same goes w/my Early Bird.

Oh man, that's the stuff right there.

I'm pretty impressed with this product and I hope these people are bringing in a truckload of money. Everything about the packaging, promotion, and price point feels exactly right, and it sure seems like they hit the jackpot in terms of their target consumer.

I've settled on pairing it with my Gallet chronograph, and as delighted as I am with the nerdy look of it, I have to admit I still don't have the hang of getting it on my wrist on the first try in the morning without some acrobatics.

Well....When i received mine was very upset because i could not manage to make it fit properly so i thought that was due to "cheap made" etc BUT I was simply a dumb ... spanking.gif ...So sincere apologizes...🤦
The Video tuto on the website helps a lot and now works like a charm...
Thank you again for the great deal and stuff... psy.gif

What a great watch band! I cannot stand a heavy wristwatch and had been religiously wearing my Nato bands for comfort. This watch band is a total game changer for me. I am looking forward to the calendars!
BTW datewatcher makes an H style calendar that sells for $12.89 on Amazon.
