·Yeah we got a little behind on our initial target date. Looks like it should be ready by about the middle of this month

·Just got my Astronaut back and put it on the Komfit bracelet that I've had waiting for it this past month.

·I posted yesterday but today I want to briefly sing the praises of this new Komfit. Firstly, it's komfortable, which I think is paramount for any watch band. Secondly, it's well made, there are no sharp edges, the clasp is solidly constructed and the end links are sturdy. Thirdly, it looks amazing, both at a distance and close up. I love the attention to detail, the JB trademarks on the sides of the clasp and the Forstner Komfit on the inside of the clasp all look great. I've wanted one of these for a long time now but refused to pay what the originals go for; this is a great alternative, you get the style and functionality of the original at a fraction of the cost.

·FYI, there is already a company that makes current date watchband calendars: https://www.jacksonofficesupply.com/WatchCalendars/default.asp
‘That place is incredible! Besides the fact that their website looks like it is from 1995 and sell watchband calendars, they are now accepting orders by fax for Rolodex. I’m assuming they then type out your receipt on a typewriter. Amazing!

·A comparison of this vs the US flat link would be interesting.
I'm also curious how the SEL is going to work in the various Speedmaster cases. I have had issues moving bracelets from one to the other and have not been able to get the later SEL to fit earlier cases.

·Nice!
I'm just curious about the "loads of rattly vintage charm".
But I'm sure I'll get one of this.

I mean, you can tell by looking at them. The US is meant to a fairly close recreation whereas the Forstner is a modern bracelet taking inspiration from the vintage flat links.
US - light and rattley, thin, hollow end links, pins, no stretch links, inexpensive
Forstner - Heavier, thicker, solid end links, screws, stretch links, slightly less inexpensive

·That particular statement was made in reference to the vintage version, not ours 😀
how wide is the opening on the end link that accepts the mid link?

·We have thankfully had success testing our end link on the new and previous generation (3570.50) cases, and supply spring bars that should make the fitting process easier 😀
