I just got my Remora and I love it! The long wait was worth it. I'm preferring the rubber strap right now. Here are some pics:

It's my first mechanical and I've been wearing it every day since I got it. Can't stop looking at it. I'm telling people at work the time constantly.

I haven't tried the mesh yet. I'm thinking about getting the shark mesh bracelet from strap code.

I like your Remora. Blue w/numbers and brushed case is, IMO, the best combination. I took a look at the strapcode mesh bracelet - it looks nice. I wonder how different it is than the mesh bracelet that comes with the Remora.

If your wondering what the mesh looks like on the remora, i put one on mine. I had to cut some links out using a dremel, but i think it looks great, very comfortable too.

Looks great! Exactly how I was picturing it.

Is your mesh from Stracode?

Wrist Shots? I like the included mesh, but this looks like a nice alternative.

Question, do you folks have an issue with the mesh band that comes with the watch ?

The only issue I have with the supplied mesh band is the solid bar ends. The quality of the Benarus mesh bracelet is great, but, the way that the solid bar ends of the supplied bracelet are exposed on the Remora takea away from the concealed lugs design. The mesh of shark mesh pictured above goes right into the watch. I think that this looks much cleaner.

I don't think that the supplied mesh looks bad by any means. It's just that I had pictured it on the shark mesh even before I got my watch.

OK I am with you... I just ordered a 24MM version of this band... I do like the look of the new bank on the Remora....
