    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.

    We are in talks with a UK retailer, which would hopefully make this process easier for folks in Europe

    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...

    Depends on Brexit :D 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

    You are a better person than me. My chest would explode if that was my wrist, and nearly did from the pic alone!

    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.

    Cool! Hoping for significant dates, like July 1969, and maybe personally significant dates to order?

    Make a 12 month set each year and you will have a customer base for life!

    <crazy idea>Or something 'modern'...e-ink display (like whats in ebook readers) , a tiny little computer, and a super thin battery, that changes display whenever the month changes...ought to last for life! </crazy idea>

    A wrist calender would be nice. I would just like a set for the current year. If you make them (@Forstnerbands ) I am not joking, I will wear your band E V E R Y D A Y and twice on Sunday.

    That’s the idea - we’re planning to do 12 month sets for each year, and separately a “commemorative” set for important dates.
