Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Picked up a Shark Mesh ,soaking in White Lighting now. Will let stay overnight and put on a piece let you guys know how it feels etc. New PUP!!!
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 MD, Sgt turned me on to it pick some up a must have . Well you know the wife picked it out so came from the Polish side of the family, similar taste !
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 flyr first one for me, you like?
flyr Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 I really like the look but it occasionally pulls hair. (gotta be a man with these things)
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Well should be fine then ,no hair!
sgtguk Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 You'll love it Mike, can't beat a bit of mesh mate
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 OK out of the bath clean up with water paper towel then buff up. A real PIA getting out of mesh links couple of hours not overnight recommended,it dried in pretty good. Fairly easy to mount. Now notice of course no end links this look bothers me better on flyr's PolProf with concealed attachment. On the wrist. Put it on a new Rotary I had handy on a NATO easy off. Right size 20mm but maybe get a 22mm by nature of the connection should fit in and cover better. Comfortable on, plenty long fits my 8.25 may take out link but first use micro ADJ all in see how that feels. Clasp fine double lock diver style works well. Not to heavy feels good just enough not to be cheap.
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 All to small MD have to buy two to make one, this one good to go!
Deckard1979 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 I really like that mesh. I have moved from Nato straps to SS bracelet and i think mesh is the next stage Mike where did You get it? I am going to get one for my Breitling SuperOcean. I have seen some on Ebay - guy wjean28 sells them but i don't know how good the quality is .
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Deck will get you link, best price around.
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Deckard wjean28 was my source go for it! 1
Deckard1979 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 That`s good news Mike. He is quite cheap compare to all the online shops, that's why i was cautious
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Took a chance ,happy with product.
hiker01 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 That lightning is excellent lube.....I use that for my Mountain bikes and anything that needs lubing. And here's my version of the Mesh.....
Mike on a bike Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 Hike had a similar one on my SOH lover it , these are bit more sporty a lot less bling.
flyr Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Deckard wjean28 was my source go for it! Same goes for both of mine, quality is good,not Omega good, but good. 1
jpz5142 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Interesting, would not have thought to treat a mesh bracelet. Usually with these types of chain lube you would not want to leave overnight. They are meant to put on, work into the joint, clean grime away, repeat until lube is not black. On my bracelet that I just got and treated it was still blackish after three applications so no wonder these rep bracelets feel like crap, they're full of it! I use a different brand and they reccomend to work in and let sit for 10min then wipe clean. These lubes are basically a carrier with a petroleum distillate (wax type substance) suspended in it that is meant to evaporate (carrier) and leave the solid wax behind to work as a lube. Think of it as a wet way to apply a dry lubricant.
Mike on a bike Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 jpz this is a loose mesh not tight like Hikes also look at link construction around clasp so worth doing, as I posted shorter time in the stuff. Live and learn!
jpz5142 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Honestly Mike even after years of reading how these treatments help rep bracelets I only just recently got around to ding this to mine after reading your post! I did not realize how big of a difference it would have made else I would have done it earlier!
Mike on a bike Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks fraggle, he is a hand full !!! jpz an oyster or Brietling in it , world of difference.
