I think it’s a known thing with the Forstner.

Where the Forstner also improves over the inspiration is the solid end-links. It may be a tight fit, requiring more patience, but once connected, it says firmly fixed in place. But a downfall is that the links immediately after the ends tend to fold over and get stuck. This is down to the shaping and machining and is an improvement I would strongly endorse for version 2.0 of the flat-link. It’s not a problem when the watch is on the wrist. But when placing in a watch box or before strapping it on, some effort is required to unfold these links, and I can imagine would start to show unsightly scratch marks on the end-links.

A bit late but it took me ages to size this Forstner bracelet. Nicely made but the penultimate links (fitting onto the end links) aren’t even - one sticks. Possibly user error.
