@Uncle Seiko , could you 1450 solid endlink work for your 1171 bracelet?
No, the final link is wider on the 1450. I can post all the stats once I get around to that, or better yet, hang on and once it is on the website everyone can get all the info they need 😉😀
Interesting comment about the Forstner packaging...
putting it in the bin was not the idea i'm sure. So when you take off the old bracelet, it makes a perfect and safe storage box for the other one. Overall Forstner wanted the bracelet to have a luxury feel to it and the box forms part of that.
Presentation is everything for some products. As the distributor for the UK and the EU I think its a great looking package.
I've kept mine for that reason, it's nice to have little boxes to store straps, bracelets etc, and, in 50 odd years time...
