Anyone else a fan of a mesh / Milanese bracelet

Post by abeardsley2020 »

Never had much luck with osyter style bracelets and comfort however mesh straps I always find mega comfortable. Anyone else like mesh? Share some CWs on mesh!

If you search for 'Mesh' in the General Discussion forum you'll find plenty of CWs on Mesh, mostly in the CW of the Day topic / thread.

Perfect for retro or dressier timepieces.

Very comfy to wear but a pain to adjust the bracelet (or at least the ones I've tried). Also has the effect of softening any watch, no matter how butch it is.

As long as they are not too stiff then yes they are very comfy. Was there a CW watch in particular you were thinking of matching it up with?

I’ve been enjoying my Moonglow on mesh recently.

Found a pic:

I like it on my C1 worldtimer. I just wish it had the quick release like the leather straps have so I could change it up more often.

Same! It’s really hard to go back to no quick release once you have it

I'll post photos with Saturday daylight.

I've had divers on shark mesh, I quite like that vibe.

Brellum Duoboxes come with a Milanese which looks proper dressy but with limited link removal either side of the clasp getting a comfy-nether-tight-nor-loose fit is hit and miss.

Here's some evidence that you can go "dead smart" or "dead tough" according to your choices. HTH
