Thanks teddy, canadajo and edgel - I was looking at another forum, saw a thread on 1000m dive watches, loved the mesh look and now I have had that lightbulb WIS moment when, you know, I have just GOTTA have one... I might be barking up the wrong tree, but I an willing give one a try.

I am completely new to mesh, as well - but after about 25 years of collecting and trading (well, losing money to be honest...) watches, and with a grail list that still looks like a phone book, I reckon the mesh will be an interesting diversion while waiting to win the lottery...

You guys are great ! I was being a bit cheeky when I did my second post, but I had already figured that if anyone knew something, they would have ante'd up by now. For the moment, I am following diveluvr's suggestion and buying one of his NOS 24mm Omega mesh bracelets. He has a 50mm lug to lug watch, his wrist is 167mm and he wears the smaller of the two "Ploprof" 24mm mesh bracelets (one is about 165mm, the other is 140mm - then of course, Omega began selling those extension links which are now about $65USD each...). So - the smaller one sounds like a winner to me and probably wont need any adjustment other than on the clasp end!

for your support - but I will soldier on - and give the forum some photos and info for future reference when it arrives. One is "on order", but I have to wait to confirm that one is available... 3 to 5 weeks is the guess, unless I win that one on the bay...
