| Got my new HD mesh bracelet for my Amphibia 1967. Only had time to take a couple quick pics here at my desk late tonight. The bracelet, which I bought from eBay seller "strapblog," is 22mm in width and quite thick and open weave. It looks to be VERY well made. I bought this one because it actually has several mesh links I can remove to fit my scrawny wrist. I did run into one problem tonight: I could only get one end attached to the case! My two lug tools are at the watchmaker getting sharpened so I've been using a tiny screwdriver to try getting the spring bars in. No go on the one end, though. Guess I'll let my watchmaker do it tomorrow. I may as well let him size it, too. Anyway, here are a couple really quick shots. | |

| Looks great Tom! On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have an 8.5" wrist, would this mesh fit me? ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art..... Member NAWCC, National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors | |

| Nice, and it does look thick. How does it have removeable links? Are they solid or mesh? |

It has removable mesh links that you can see in my first photo and the link given by Duff. | |

The bracelet adjusts from 190mm down to 125mm, so it should fit wrists from about 6.75" to 9+", depending on the length of your watch case from one spring bar to the other. | |

| That mesh bracelet looks GREAT Tom !!! The quality and size seem excellent, and it goes perfectly on your watch. I think the shape of that case works AMAZINGLY well with the mesh. It's like the watch was meant for a mesh bracelet imho ! NICE job sir ! Congratulations, on getting this ! ____________________________________ | |

| Man, I just ordered a couple of NATO's from Gnomon, but it's ok, because the same aren't offered at strapcode, but, wow, do they have an impressive selection of mesh. |
