Would have chased one years ago if I had of known how comfortable they were.
Going to be my go to thing when it gets too humid for leather in my neck of the woods. 👍

·I bought mine w horned ends, wanting to use it on my Speedy. It’s still in the box; I’m disappointed at the bracelet’s narrow width and, to my eyes, awkward resolution at the end links. @pcdubc , I will say yours looks really good, actually. Nonetheless, I may go @VetPsychWars direction and seek a refund, or just keep it and wait for a nice 36-38mm watch to pair it with.

Just for my information please, what do you mean by "awkward resolution at the end links"?

·The horned ends are designed, I think, to mimic the curvature of the round faced watch. They don’t really, IMO, it seems a matter of too little too late. The end links should be about twice as deep as they are and offer a more emphatic “curve.” Anyway, the ones posted on Speedys here look good, so maybe it’s just me (and @JwRosenthal !)

·I have the horned and am quite happy with the look and feel. As above, looks like both versions were used back in the ‘60s, so comes down to personal preference...

·Forstner bracelet fitted today.
It's not often I get excited about much at all these days but I love this.
Purchased from https://www.vintagespeedmaster.com/watch-parts
I bought the original length (longest one) and adjusted down to my 18.5cm wrist. See pic.
Well chuffed.
Thanks Darren!

·So, it purely comes down to aesthetics? There's no risk of one option rubbing against the case or anything like that?

·I did not like mine.
It pulled out arm hairs, was a little difficult to put on and did not feel good on my wrist.
To each her own.
