·Not sure how Watchgecko does it but they have a US address for sending returns, I assume if they set up a Distributor in the EU (and eventually one in the UK), that would take care of most of us.

·This is a really good idea - I’ll look into it!
Really good job and hope the best for future,just ordered mine in short version....However you should keep "The Gap" between end links and case..It is also the Adn of those bracelet...Making them to fit tight the case will lose something of its original ADN in my humble opinion..Just my 2 cts...

··Wow! Custom title... coolWe are in talks with a UK retailer, which would hopefully make this process easier for folks in Europe
Depends on Brexit 😁 As I said earlier they should cancel Brexit and stay in the EU. If not for anything else then certainly for making purchasing the JB watch band in Europe easier

·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 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...
I'd buy one of those!

·Definitely a cool product! @Forstnerbands thanks for relaunching these. I'll be preordering one for sure.
Incidentally if anyone is interested in a vintage Forstner Komfit 18mm mesh I've got one I don't use. Would sell.
