VERY NICE!ThumbsUp02.gif You have shed a new light on matching up mesh with older watches that I did not think about. Thank you, very good comparison.

Awesome post Graham!  hand6.gifhand6.gif  I don't own any mesh bracelets for my watches and I completely agree with you that on the right watch it looks terrific!  woohoo.gif  I was also stunned to see that a very nice looking mesh bracelet is much less than a leather strap.  Again, thanks for the cool information and have a blast showing off those killer watches and their sweet looking mesh bracelets, cheers.  woohoo.gif

Well done Graham. Valuable info for all. I have also tried Seiko OEM mesh on a Seiko monster, and while I can get by with the other meshes (I have not tried UTS mesh yet, and apparently that is pretty good, but hellish expensive and quite thick...) it is always the Omega mesh that I come back to. Breitling does offer a mesh with a solid lug-link and my personal opinion is that looks spectacular on that watch - but you have in one series of images highlighted what a lot of us have tried and may have failed at in the past - to look at the options "in use on a range of watches" and then decide which is best for us.

Your collection amazes me, good sir, and I think that each bracelet you chose has its place in it. Mesh just says "old school quality" to me, and your images just go to reinforce that. 

What a fantastic review! Thanks for sharing!

For what its worth, Vollmer/Aristo manufacture mesh bracelets in Germany. I don't know if they sell them separately at retail or not.

Hi Graham, you 'meshed my mind' with all these nice bracelet :D.  I would like to have the link of your seller too if possible.  I want to try one on a new VE polished case.   The Omega mesh looks amazing but would be more expensive than the watch I want to put it on so...Thx in advance!
