    I’m hoping to do that challenge as I have both on my list and several variations on which I would plan to try them.

    All solid too. This is a game changer for the market

    Can anyone confirm the size of the pins inside the clasp (the micro-adjust and the piece that attaches to the other half)? I broke one of them, have reached out to Forstner twice in the last month with no response, and suspect they're 16mm but would love to confirm.

    Yes, 16mm but remember the tips are smaller. You need to buy special clasp bars.

    Be easier to just ask your watchmaker than source them yourself.

    Happy with mine for the first omega in space. What’s new about this version? Got mine in the uk few weeks ago.

    Will this bracelet work with the new 3861 Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42 mm (310.30.42.50.01.001)?

    Confirmed - shortly after this thread, I got a response to the email and have some new pins in the mail. Thanks!

    I emailed their support email and they replied that it will not fit the new 3861 Speedmaster Professional. They are waiting to get one, and once they do they said they will produce a new set of end links to fit the new watch.

    I can confirm the issue is the endlinks. I've got the 3861 and tried out the Forstner bracelet for #science. Because the lugs of the new Moonwatch are slightly smaller than the previous 1861 lugs, the Forstner end links stick out noticeably. Should be an easy fix with new endlinks.

    It can be installed with the US end links slightly bent to align with the new spring bar hole placements

    Interestingly enough, you can get the current end links to fit the 3861 Speedmaster by filing back the little "ears" behind the end links (in the direction from the spring bar hole back toward the end part of the end link). Not as perfect as the new end links will be, but the fit is actually pretty nice if you don't want to wait :)
