I also took Graham's advise and scored a mesh just like Pax's. I agree that this is an excellant seller with good communication and fast shipping and the price at $10.99 delivered can't be beat in my experience. I installed it on my Hamilton 917 Hybrid this morning. I think it adds to the vintage look I wanted and the combo is very comfortable to boot.

I love the mesh bracelet on that watch. However, given the upcoming football season, I think it needs just a little more. :D

Many use a sliding clasp. It moves up/down the bracelet and locks into place. The excess just stays. No cutting. See picture. For more go to http://www.watchstyle.com/pi1089327654.htm

I seem to remeber LSU AND
Florida beating OH-IO State in a what do you call it...oh, a National Championship game.

And, yes they have beat them. 

BTW - Mesh bracelets are cool and comfortable too.  I tried a guy's Zinex on one day (his wrist is bigger than mine) and it was great.  Their bracelets are about 4MM thick.

I've never had a mesh strap, but from the looks
of it; one question remains.

"Do these things pull wrist hairs?"

Then again,we're men!

We are meant to take physical pain
every now then.

It's like the old saying with Harley-Davidson
owners:

"You're not a biker until you have fallen off a Harley."

Hmm....our motto if there is one.

Should be:

"You are not watch collector until you witness
  the senseless destruction of your watch by
  a driver of a car who has ran a red light!"


Just ask the guy who has been through this and I tell
how I truly feel...but on the hand I'm not the kind of
person who uses curse words.subtlelaugh.gif

Above all else, all I can say is that I am
glad to see my sense of humor is still intact.

Cheers,
Simon

I do like the retro look of mesh straps, one of my favorites is the Breitling heritage chrono on mesh, I can't make my mind up on the dial colour blue, brown or black they all look great to me. Unfortunatly a little over my budget.

Anyway I could not have a Breitling, so I got a mesh strap and it is currently on my CW15 Henley, the watch has certainly had more wrist time since the change.

This strap has a deployant clasp and removable solid links at the back, it is very comfortable to wear and does not pinch the hairs on my wrist.

A very sharp combo, Janner. I like it a lot!

That's what I call really niceyourock.gif. Mesh fits the timepiece like they were made for each other. Kudos!
