 William, I'm probably in the minority regarding this specific type of mesh with the steel band at the lugs, but IMO...IF your going with mesh on the very serious, beefy, tool-of-a-case, CRUX then I think this type of mesh (with the thick steel band at the end link) works very well as I think this type of mesh somehow looks more toolish and balances out the more toolish/beefy cases out there (all IMO).

I agree with Graham's comment above in general regarding mesh bracelets like this and most watches that I myself would consider wearing a mesh on maybe aren't as brute (in a very good way) as the CRUX.  Now keep in mind I don't consider myself a huge mesh fan in general, but I've been coming around to them more lately after experiencing one on my Kazimon 1500.

All that being said, the mocha dial and vintage markers of the CX-4 dial screams out to be on a sweet vintage leather strap IMO (and I absolutely love the combinations you have shown it on with the Heroic18 followed by the Kain - those are SWEET combinations!!!)thumbsup.gif 

This mesh may actually look better on the CX-1 or CX-3 CRUX dials.  But what do I know???
