Speaking of, what does the group think of a wider mesh version? The narrower one is classic, but an 18mm version might look good too. Thoughts?
Has anyone received anyone yet?
Your impressions ?
I just ordered a short one and will post my opinion when it arrives. Its going on a 2998.5.
I'll throw my dream re-issue JB out there for future consideration.
I love what you are doing and applaud the effort. I ordered one and look forward to its arrival.
If I could make a modern incarnation of the bracelet I would create a new end piece created in the same style but eliminating the expandable end pieces. I would love to see an end piece that closes out all the gaps. I would bring the end piece all the way to the case and close that gap as well. The solid end piece would eliminate the all the troublesome moving parts and fit the case more precisely. It would also eliminate the the outward pressure exerted on the inside of the lugs that concerns people the most about these bracelets.

EDIT - Actually a two piece bracelet that fits together more along the way the Omega and Rolex bracelets do. Two piece with the spring bar running through both.
I can only dream...
Amazing just ordered 2 of them ! I had to undergo some surgery on my original JB to make it fit my wrist, thanks for offering a smaller version 😁
As mentioned above it fits really well the Bulova Accutron Astronaut as used during the early Space Program !
Personally, I think the JB champion bracelet look undersized on a speedy, but just right on the Accutron Astronaut!
@WYO_Watch i think one of these would look killer on your FOIS. What say you?

...if it doesn’t work out you could always exchange for the short version.
