Forstner for BB58

[snootydog]

My usual inability to make decisions is at it again. I had actually decided to get the Forstner Model O for my BB58, but now the more I look at the Model J the more I want that one. I could well end up getting both sooner or later. Which do you guys prefer?

I had the J and it was extremely comfortable.

The O looks great too.

No issue having both, they are relatively affordable.

I’m with Hop. Both look great, so get both.

Both look great and options are your friend

[Wario406]

Both!

[Baffo]

The jubilee looks best imo, both choices great though!

Jubilee is cooler and dries faster if that matters. IMHO more comfortable too. The O is more durable

If it was me, I would buy both.


And then only wear it on a blue nylon mil series nato.

Does the Jubilee pull arm hairs?

I'm usually more into the oyster style bracelets, but I think I like the jubilee here. I've never tried this exact one, but in my experience the hollow type jubilees pull hair. Seiko's OEM one hurt, but looked cool and was extremely lightweight.

Jubilee ordered from Forstner UK
I agree with all of you, having both the Oyster & Jubilee is the way to go. I'll get the Model O when it's back in stock here. Could have ordered one from Holben's in the US but with shipping and the inevitable customs import charges it wasn't worth it.

Good move.

While I’ve never been a jubilee bracelet fan at all, I bought one for my blue BB58 and absolutely loved it. Didn’t pull hairs, looked fantastic, and was a solid value at the price.

I think you’ll be pleased.

I searched for 3 years for a super jubilee for my Rolex BLNR and finally found one and love it. The jubilee adds a totally different look and I think every watch collector should have one in their collection.

The Forstner Model O for the BB58 is now back in stock in the US and Forstner UK tell me it'll be available here again in the next couple of days. I'll be grabbing one straight away as they seem to fly off the shelf pretty quickly.

Update: Ordered and with Black Friday deal of £25 off

The Forstner Model O arrived.
I really like the sprung first link, makes for a perfect fit even on the hottest of days, like we get hot days in England
Really glad I got both the Forstner Jubilee and Oyster though. They both give the BB58 a very different look and along with the Vanguard blue rubber strap my set is complete.
