Just got a mesh bracelet with plans to either put it on my Polished Moray or one of my Pam Homages....here is my question...when it is mounted it appears that it will move around....will it scratch the inside of the lugs...not that anyone would see it but I'm kind of weird about scratches anywhere.

If there are any burs on the edges that contact the lugs, you could get some wear or a mark over time.

Hi nabco. The answer is that yes, any bracelet attachment, and in particular some of the mesh bracelets which have a lug bar, will eventually scratch the inside of the lugs. In my experience, Omega mesh does it less than most others, because the mesh itself is what you put the springbars through, and the mesh is rounded where it contacts the inner part of the lugs (so fewer rough edges to make a scratch). Sadly, IMHO, there is nothing one can do but wear with care, hope, and understand that constant movement of a solid lug end, or exposed mesh (or any metal bracelet) itself, will eventually leave wear marks. Hey - it even happens when leather moves constantly against the inner part of the lug, but admittedly to a lesser extent. Take a look at my "what-you-wearing" posts and even my avatar - and you will see what mesh looks like up to the inner part of the lugs. It is a sacrifice I am happy to make for the look, style and comfort - I hope you enjoy your mesh bracelet, too. Cheers, mate. IanM hand6.gif

How much play do you have there? The attaching point is of course going to be in contact especially when the bracelet rotates.

Hi I would have thought that with care, light marks could always be removed with a very fine abrasive and a little metal polish. Should come up like new! I'm considering a mesh for one of my Morays.

Hi, could you point out where did you get the mesh bracelet? By the way, nice Airboss today. Just put a TWP deployment clasp on mine, and works like a charm!
