bands, with their ladder design, had many of the same features that popularized the Komfit with NASA astronauts.  They were adjustable, having the ability to be sized in increments of about 3mm, fit a wide variety of wrist sizes, and, of course, were extremely comfortable.  The bracelets also could be worn with watches having fixed (non-removable) lug bars.  As a result, the Bamboo- or Bonklip-style bracelets were often provided with military-supplied watches (for example, the \"Bonklip\" (English made) bracelet was supplied with the IWC Mark XI) which often had such fixed bars.  Forstner created a version, however, that improved on prior designs, with a spring-loaded clasp that made the wearing experience more intuitive yet still secure.  This feature is included on the current reissue.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:

of stainless steel, the band is light, breathable, and extremely comfortable, having the ability to be easily sized in approximately 3mm increments for the perfect fit.  Here are

removal is small, it is increased when the bracelet is worn loosely. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forstner Bands

Forstner 5-Link Rivet Bracelet","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the history of bracelet making, few figures cast as long a shadow as Gay Freres.  During the twentieth century, and while it was still in existence, they created such icons as the Ladder and Oyster bracelets (for Zenith and Rolex, respectively), and even served as the supplier for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus bracelets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut before the Oyster, there was the Rivet band, which served as a template for so many iconic sports watch bracelets of today.  One of the earliest, and we think most charismatic, iterations of the Rivet bracelet was the 5-link Rivet band with alternating polished\/brushed finish.  Like Forstner's revived design, the original Gay Freres version was a universal fit band (having straight end pieces) with three narrow center links, wider outer links, and polished rivets on the side.  But, being a vintage bracelet, the Gay Freres version was made with vintage proportions in mind, often just 14mm wide, with hollow stretchy links that could not be removed.  Nonetheless, original examples are highly coveted by bracelet enthusiasts and fetch exorbitant prices on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Forstner, we've been eager to revive this gorgeous design for some time, and have spent years working to perfect it.  Our mission, after all, is to faithfully revive iconic vintage bracelets that have been long out of production, upgraded to modern standards.  This one in particular was long overdue for a comeback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonouring the beautiful vintage Gay Freres design, Forstner has created its own take on the classic 5-link rivet bracelet.  We've maintained the features that made the 5-link bracelet so charming, such as real rivets, narrow center links, and its beautiful polished\/brushed finish.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut it wouldn't be a Forstner band unless it had some key improvements as well.  For one, we've upped the bracelet width to provide more contemporary proportions, while still maintaining the vintage spirit.  Now having a 16mm wide bracelet portion and end pieces going up to 20mm, Forstner's 5-Link Rivet band will fit most contemporary pieces while providing a beautiful vintage aesthetic.  In addition, Forstner crafted the bracelet with solid 316L stainless steel links, removable links via screws, and patterned end pieces matching the finish of the links.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of our most notable improvements, however, is a completely new link removal system.  Still using screws for optimal convenience, we've done away with the double-sided screw tube, which required holding one screw in position while unscrewing the other.  Forstner's 5-Link Rivet band now uses two independently removable screws, which makes link removal significantly easier.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're so proud of how this bracelet came out.  Not only is it a stunner and a pleasure to wear, but it has all the conveniences you'd expect from a Forstner band.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForstner's 5-Link Rivet band is made of solid 316L stainless steel links in alternating polished\/brushed finish, a vintage style pressed clasp with plenty of micro adjustment positions, and real rivets polished to perfection.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the 5-Link Rivet band introduces Forstner's new screw removal system.  On each side of the bracelet are independently removable screws that attach to the center links (as shown in the images above), for our easiest resizing experience yet on our Rivet collection.
