bamcky2k Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 well, to be honest im an omega man through and through-i have a franken planet ocean 45, a 42 PO, smp chrono, 2254.50 and a gen 2541.80 and 2531.80...but i've had an itch lately for something different. not too different though-it had to be a dive watch! so it was a toss up between a rolex dssd or a breitling superocean. being the type of person who for some reasons likes brightly coloured watches the new breitling superocean in yellow won straight on the laptop i went and a week later here she is-my first breitling purchase and to be honest i couldnt be happier, its a cool watch despite what the haters say! one thing bugged me though and that was the comfiness of the rubber strap, its bloody good looking strap mind, but i just couldnt get it to wear right. hmmm, after a rummage in my straps box i decided to give this mesh a try and im glad i did. i think it gives the watch a hardcore look while still keeping the overall image-and it wears perfect which i great! anyway hope you all like, i for one am a happy bunny.
tgchrono2 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 much much better on this mesh band. Is this an Omega mesh "?
bamcky2k Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 its a replica of the original omega mesh, got it from the strapcode website. it uses the "seat belt" clasp like the original. i payed around $100 for it which in all honesty is a little pricey but it does have a nice fit and finish. i have to agree-and not just cos its my watch!-that a steel band looks better on this watch than the rubber...
bamcky2k Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 not freakin bad cheers buddy, glad you like! im normally a big fan of rubber straps on dive watches-but not this time, the mesh keeps the dive look i think and is alot comfier on the wrist.
davea Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Very nice, love that bracelet.... the yellow looks great. I purchased that watch in blue for my son at Christmas. Here's my SOH on mesh
