Got this Vollmer Mesh Bracelet today from the Watchseller. Decided to install it on my new Graf Zeppelin 7753 chrono.
Before (strap) and after (mesh).

Thanks! The mesh bracelet is pretty beefy too. I also installed the bracelet with clasp opening in opposite direction to get a better fit.

This mesh gives an industrial vintage look to this German watch: Very cool!

Thanks for the comments. After wearing the mesh for a few weeks, I love the looks of it. But, I do have to admit the strap is more comfortable. Looks of the mesh still win out though.

Mike, somehow I prefer the elegance of leather on that particular dial and with those black hands. I love mesh and you guys know it but on this example, I'd stay leather. Just my opinion. Don't send scud missiles my way, amigo

That looks great! I toned down and improved
the look of my bead blasted Excursion
in the same manner. Regards A.J.

I do miss the comfort of the Di-Modell Rallye strap. I also agree the strap works well with the black hands and dial details. I may switch back. The Vollmer mesh is quite heavy and thick.
