Forstner bands relaunched

I think what he's saying with the second image is that we don't use a tapered inner clasp hinge. In the past I personally associated those with "cheap" aftermarket bands so wanted to make our lines clean and straight. But I take the point - even with the flex links, that clasp would be less visible if we used a tapered inner clasp.

Yep. Looking again mine is pretty much directly on the ulnar with the crown almost reaching my hand itself. It is very comfortable like that but then I have never worn any differently

Edit: Does this not look ridiculous, halfway up the arm?

@Forstnerbands when are expecting the brush/polish flat link 19mm to be back in stock?

No. It actually looks correct to me. ... 😀

No, not at all. Most folks like the watch snug —- above the wrist bone.

If you flex your wrist and it’s leveraging pressure on the watch bracelet you’re probably damaging it... I believe @Archer has elaborated on this in days of yore and his opinion about low riders.

..... and my skin on my wrist gets irritated requiring me to take the watch off and not be able to stand wearing one for 2 or 3 days until it calms down.

Just got this recently and did not expect the bracelet to accommodate my 22-mm Tudor. Feels strong, but very light.

Edit: forgot to say that it is very comfortable and is certainly a great bracelet to have.

Now that the forstner flat link is out, does anyone know how tight the fit is? Planning to buy one for my FOIS, but worried about possible scratches on the lug and case.
