I'm looking to invest in a thick 22mm mesh bracelet for some of my larger divers. I want the thickest, meanest mesh out there, under $200 ;) I see that Otto Frei has great prices on the Omega, and I like that it doesn't use end pieces. Thanks! Mark & Otto |

I saw that Thanks! It bothers me that in the pics, it looks like the end piece tube is bent or flared at the ends, which doesn't quite look right? I also wonder how the thickness of this compares to the Omega. |

That is nice. Wish I had seen that before I ordered the one they show in the middle (the luxury mesh) I ordered for the LM-7 when it arrives. Of course I don't know if the .08 mm (mine is 3.2 mm) will make much difference for the $75.00 price difference. I wonder how you can adjust the size of that one. Just on the buckle? Anyone have that mesh? |

Omega mesh is pretty thick and lacks that tube at the ends, it's just open mesh links through which you run your springbar or screw-tube. They're all over the 'bay. |

If I remember I gave $110 at Lonestar for the same band. |

Hi guys, thanks for all the responses! After se digging, I found the same thread over in the SCTF archives http://www.larrybiggs.net/scwf/index.php?mod=103&action=0&id=1147961839 It seems like the list goes something like this from thickest to thinnest: Shauer Artus - 5.2mm $490. Another Timedesign (I think) - 5mm 400+ euros. Omega Mesh - 4mm or slightly thicker, under $200 at O Frei. Jurgens Monster Mesh - 4mm $185. Stowa Milanaise - $145, unknown thickness. Many in the 3 - 3.5mm range. Found some on ebay at 22mm wide 2.8mm thick around $26.99 and a 20mm wide 3.4mm thick for $21.99! I think I will go with the Omega, as I like the way the mesh links encompass the springbar instead of using a tube. I like the look and it allows me to squeeze it into a 21mm Doxa lug :D Plus in my opinion, it seems that the Omega has a coarser weave, more openess and therefore more texture than the German models which look to be "flattened" somewhat. Maybe it is my imagination. Thanks again for all your help! |
