·If this is indeed a stretchy link like my original Seawolf Oyster (and the original early flatlinks) - that is a game changer. They are so comfortable and for someone like me who can swell from a 7.25” wrist in the morning, then midday to 7.5 in the afternoon, they are a godsend. Please tell us more about the stretchy link- do all but the removable stretch, only the bottom half, inquiring minds want to know. And do we have an ETA?

·Thanks! Correct that the removable links do not stretch, and that the stretch links aren’t removable. On the prototype, I put two stretch links on either side of the clasp. On the production model I am leaning toward only putting stretch links behind the clasp. This will still give room for the bracelet to expand as the wrist expands but will wear more solidly than having the stretch links on both sides. It’ll also size to smaller wrists.
Can you give us a hint re: price? It looks awesome and I can't wait to see it in real life.

·This is an exciting development and I don’t know of anyone that is making bracelets like these with the stretch links. Most bracelets I have set so they can almost spin on my wrist in the morning because by midday they will fit properly. The stretch is a nice touch...perhaps I need to take Tumeric.

Thanks! Unfortunately there’s not much I could tell you at this point since the price is still TBD. I just don’t want to speculate and end up giving people incorrect information.

·Next question- can the bracelet be ordered in one size and a set of endlinks ordered in another so one bracelet could fit both 19&20mm lugs?

·Really excited for this new bracelet! Curious if you think it will fit the Trilogy watches? I'm really curious about the fit on the Seamaster 60th.

·I've read on IG that ETA is in two to three months. Interesting to have two options for flatlinks bracelets in the future. Does anyone can say something about the price?
Nico
Indeed... If anyone has an estimation cost...

·I'm not exactly sure since I don't have those to test it on. When possible I'd be happy to provide a free sample to someone willing to test on those watches.
I can help if needed 😀

·They look incredible! Will it be possible to specify brushed links rather than polished?

Fair enough, I'll await further news with anticipation. I'm also willing to be a guinea pig for any tests you want to conduct. 😉
