  • Why no brown leather? To be fair - Speedmasters look good on literally anything. You could probably wear it on a shoe lace.

    I've heard these bracelets can be a major PITA, have you tried different angles? Sometimes it's literally the case of changing the angle the bracelet enters the lugs and it just pops into place.

  • I’ve never liked the look of brown leather, I’ve never worn it, not even shoes and boots, my entire life. That sounds like a weird “thing” now. Maybe it is.

    The problem with the bracelet was a problem with the tool - I used a really quite pricey Bergeon one but I ordered the “thin” tip version and they are so fine that they slipped off the spring bar far too easily (the spring bars that Forstner chose to supply didn’t have particularly well defined ridges either). I should have stopped sooner is all. No real harm done.

  • Or just bust out the dental floss

  • The Speedmaster bracelet is a real PITA to refit. The Bergeron tool doesn't really help either. Just keep trying at different angles or even swapping the spring bars out and help. But yeah, I've been putting off fitting the bracelet again so just keep changing straps. Still haven't found the right black leather one
