Forstner bracelets for Speedmaster.

Post by snootydog » Sun Aug 25, 2024 9:37 am

This question is watch specific so maybe it should be asked in the Omega forum. As usual my decision making is crap. Either the Forstner Jubilee style or the Forstner Bullet bracelet.
Any of you have either of these on your watch? I'd like your views on looks and comfort.
I have the Forstner J for my BB58 and like it a lot.

Haven’t had either on a Speedy, but my choice would be the Forstner Flat Link.

Good call,the polished/brushed version is nice but it is quite similar to the Omega 1171 bracelet which I already have. :thumbsup:

The Bullet looks more “Speedy-like” if that makes sense.

I've had both from Forstner and would go with either the Bullet or as previously mentioned the Flat Link - both are fantastic on the Speedy

I’ll add: I hope Forstner start making bracelets for Rolex too.
I’d love to add a good jubilee for my 16710 that doesn’t cost $3k, for example.
I wish there was an option for that.

I agree with this one.
I’m a super fan of the jubilee (probably my favorite bracelet style of all) but on the speedy, it has to be a Bullet

i’ve got the bullet for my seamaster. would like some end links so it fits my speedmaster. Maybe they are the same? i need to test.

I’ve got the jubilee for my tudor chrono.
Both bracelets are really nice

i vote bullet for omega, jubilee for rolex/tudor

Thanks for your input everyone :thumbsup:
I'm swayed towards the bullet bracelet now but it's out of stock at Forstner UK at the moment :crybaby:
