“I initially left a lower rating due to some QA issues with the bracelet (damaged end links and a screw head). I assumed I’d been sent a returned item, but the owner of Watch Obsession reached out immediately to clarify.
It turns out this was a factory fault on Forstner’s end. Even though I had already resized and worn the strap, Watch Obsession offered a full resolution. While Forstner needs to improve their quality control, I’m rating this 5/5 purely for the retailer. In summary, 1450 is a brilliant way to refine your seamaster but definately get them here - you may need that layer of support if things go wrong.”
“After research I purchased this strap for my Seamaster and it compliments the watch perfectly. Very well made, quality clasp and easy to adjust. Due to the way the links move and rub together it does pick up a few light marks and scratches, but nothing major, suits its toolish aesthetic. Recommended.”
“Alongside the Forstner Bullet that I recently bought from WO for my Seamaster, I also purchased this classic 1450 to add to my collection. Fully brushed it has a completely different aesthetic to the Bullet bracelet, giving the watch a rugged feel. Comfy to wear and easy to adjust it’s a fantastic bracelet. Ordinarily paired with the Speedmaster, it’s equally at home on the Seamaster if you fancy a change from the original bracelet that comes with the watch. I’d like to try the Model O on the Seamaster and given the quality of this and the bullet bracelet I’m sure it’ll look fantastic. Usual great service and fast delivery from WO.”
