davea Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Hi All, I'd love to do a SOH with a mesh band. I'm currently considering one of Josh's SOH with a ETA 2824-2 option in blue. As far as the band I've looked at Josh's 3mm band, a Jurgens 4mm band and the Staib 3.6mm bands. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and it appears the band from PC will be slightly long without adjustment. Any thought's? Thanks Dave some bands here http://wusmob.com/wu...by_Staib_Jurgen
davea Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Posted December 21, 2011 FWIW... Josh sent me a message stating that the Breitling Rep band is no longer available from him.
joesapart9403 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 I ordered a braclet from Andrew, this one in particular, and he seems to have more in stock: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5932 It says it has removable end links for resizing but I ordered with some haste so I am wondering if it can be sized properly to 7 1/4 wrists which I have as well.
krpster Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 My understanding is that it cannot be resized outside of the adjustment at the clasp. At least not without some minor surgery.

I'm interested in hearing about your purchase.. I did order a mesh bracelet from wjean28 on ebay, we'll see how it works out. If your's works out well I my order one too.

joesapart9403 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 I ended up cancelling my order for the rep bracelet as it was not going to fit on my wrist. I ordered a staib and will post once I get that one. The wjean28 bracelet looks sharp dave.

What about another Breitling bracelet ?? I was trying to invision how the bracelet off the Colt would look.. or a Hadley Roma Heavy Metal. A Black Perferated Tropical band would probably look nice. The finish on the SOH is so nice It might be tough to find a good bracelet match... leather might be the best option.
cougaree Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 I have tried a lot of straps, but by far the only thing looks good on the SOH is the SS mesh bracelet. Some day I will have to empty my pocket on a gen one.
mastrmindalliance Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Tried about 4 mesh straps before getting the gen. Hi and lo end. The best was a buckle style job from ebay that cost $25. Most even the high end were so uncomfortable they were unwearable. The gen mesh on the other hand is truly something else
sgtguk Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Looking at this one at the mo, still can't decide if I'd actually wear it or not, but love the look! That Gen is awesome by the way http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230664170093?var=530032320605&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
sgtguk Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 ...got this in the post today thought I'd share the pics, great quality and feels just right weight too Great price too
sgtguk Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Yep looks great on wrist lifts the whole watch, lol my new bling!
davea Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 Looks great....which one on Ebay?
