Wonder if this would work on the Uncle Seiko US1450?

Accoridng to Forstner it should. I emailed them asking the same for the US1479 and the reply was "Should fit". Now the US1450 and US1479 clasps share the same measurements when it comes to connecting points so the answer to your question is yes.

Very interesting! Might have to give it a go. The US clasp lets the bracelet down a bit.

Can anyone here speak on the quality differences between Uncle Seiko and Forstner?

I’ve purchased the 1450 and flat link from Uncle Seiko, and wonder if I’m missing out by not trying Forstner.
wondering about the same thing.
I have a few Forstner and have been happy with them

Looks very much like the SM300 bracelet. I like it, probably more sturdy than the previous iteration, however, would it suit the FOIS?

They are similar. Just subtle differences

Yes, as usual.

I love mine as well. Here is what it looks like on my 145.022 transitional.

...

@OmegaFan503 - Your first image shows the JB logo much, much better than on Forstner's site and to be honest, I had other thoughts about the new engraved logo. This makes a difference, at least to me.

Nice watch too, by the way. Enjoy in good health.

I just got the clasp today and it fits perfectly on the uncle seiko 1450. My SM300 now has the perfect bracelet. I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket logos but the JB on this clasp couldn't look at nicer! No offense to U.S. but the "almost" Omega logo was a turn off for me. Here's a bad light photo for ya guys. (the only way I know how to photograph haha)

But on the other hand you can still swap the Uncle Seiko clasp with an Omega, and is not possible with that Forstner (isn't it?).

Clasp cover
I know others who have swapped an omega clasp cover onto a forstner without an issue, or so they say. Obviously you're not gonna do that on this milled clasp but if you were dead set on an omega cover then you'd just have to buy the other version of the forstner clasp which is lower cost anyway.
