Opinions on Mesh Bracelets

I've really been contemplaiting a mesh bracelet for one of my watches. I purchased one for a family member and the bracelet is very well built and was very reasonably priced. Being as she is a lady her wrist diameter is much smaller than mine causing the bracelet to be more like a bangle. I'm thinking being as I have a fatazz wrist it might not be so rigid on me. What say ye that own a mesh? Plus what's the hair to pull ratio???

i have never liked em even though they are getting more used.. Looks too dated for my tastes

I am getting one for my Oceanaire!

I have only one,which came on thos Mido Commander.
Extremelt comfortable with no hair pulling at all.
I'm not sure how it would feel on a larger and heavier watch though but I've seen many Omegas on mesh.
The mesh on the Mido seems as if it would adjust to a small wrist with no problem.

Love the 60-70's look of the mesh on chunky divers. However, it is my opinion that you have to be in shape, tan, and tatted up to pull one off. You have two of those covered I think.

Yepper tanned and tatted! In shape....meh. I like the looks of the mesh on your Mido Foggy. Alan, I think the Oceanaire will look KILLER on mesh! Big E, I know they wore mesh back in the day....BUT I'M FROM BACK IN THE DAY! I'm really wanting me some mesh!!!

Though I don't own one, I really like the look, especially the Omega mesh bracelet (on essentially any diver it will fit on) . The Breitling SOHs also look stunning on their respective mesh bracelets.

I've been thinking of getting a mesh bracelet.

I like them (that Breitling is sweet!) I have two, one on my Seiko mod


and another that I initially had on a Lupah but switched it to a Zodiac V8


...I never thought of the Oceanaire, I'll have to give it a try.

I think that, for a chance of pace, a mesh bracelet can fit the bill beautifully.....

And Duff, if you find one that fits, please let me know where you got it...I, too, have hamhocks for wrists and most of the mesh bracelets I've seen are limited in length...

Hey Tim, is that a Breitling bracelet or aftermarket? That looks freakin SUHWEEEEEEEET!

Breitling, Duff. If (when?) I get one, this is how it will be.

Very nice! I know the Omega mesh is close to 3 bills. Do you know what the Breitling mesh goes for?

No, sorry, I don't. I just know what my AD will charge me for the complete kit.
My guess is more than Omega.

DAYUM!!! Aftermarket looks better all the time!

Yeah. When I bought the croc strap and the buckle for my Breitling, I paid quite a bit more for it, because I wanted to keep it OEM Breitling. Because it's a Breitling.

I'm sure you've seen this, Duff:

Yes I did and Jake's a GREAT guy to do business with! But I only want one mesh. He's selling lots of 4. I bought one from a guy on ebay for my son's mother-in-law for $20 plus something like $5 shipping from Singapore. Really nice bracelet but like I said...difficult to tell how it would lay on my fatazz wrist.

THAT LOOKS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

cski, that mod rocks.
I've been thinking maybe a mesh for my new yellow Seiko. But I'll probably wait a bit.

Have a mesh bracelet on a Lucien Picard. Bit stiff and this particular one can not be sized since the holes are already set in the metal. Due to my small wrist, I use the last hole, which results in a large flapping tongue. Very annoying.
Otherwise, it is comfy. Mrs. B gifted a friend with an Invicta for Christmas that had a mesh bracelet. It seemed very okay (that's as much praise as I can manage for any Cheese product these days).
Think they look killer on Omegas.
So go for it.

I also don't have a mesh bracelet Duff. They do look amazingly
comfortable and not to mention..cool ! Here are a couple of links
also...

Like then...that said , shop wisely for a well made/non hair puller one

I've got a couple of the new thick ones on order from Invicta.
Hoping to try 'em on my Grand Divers (22mm).
Ordered on Nov. - no hide nor hair of them yet.

The new Pro Divers (actually Grand size) aren't bad.
Just didn't like the color combos and have plenty of Invictas

I've been thinking of that one myself. As you know, I've been planning t get a Planet Ocean. But I tried that Breitling on when I was in Las Vegas last week and I'm thinking it might replace the PO on my wanted list. I assume the Omega movement is better, but I think I like the look of the Breitling a bit more. The mesh is very nice, too.

I'm a big fan of mesh, and Omega makes the best IMHO...

I think they look great on some watches, like the Kobold or the Super Ocean Heritage 46 in this thread. I've seen some of the vintage Omegas they look nice on. Don't have one so I can't comment on the comfort. Would be willing to split an order of four if anyone else wants to try them.

Heres whats next for Duff
