    Very very hard by themselves and very hard with attached watches. I have both bracelets and both came with watches.

    Milanese probably aren't as hard to find as a lot of brands had them and they're all very similar, often generic, I've seen two recently on eBay one Omega one Vachoneron Constantin both 18mm, but those flat links and the brick bracelets are another story, especially hard for people with thick wrists like me :(

    Milanese Band will do... I should keep my eyes wide open.

    How thick is your hand? more than 7 inches?

    My observation regarding availability pertain to the solid gold vintage omega originals.

    above 7.5 inches, but annoyingly its the fact that my thumb is so wide that makes it hard to get watches on and off.

    I know the pain ..... i have 7.25 inches wrist, i prefer 7.5 inches wrist and i missed few good picks for this reason.

    may be that is the reason why my YG Grand luxe never had wrist time.... it is less than 7.5 inches

    Is that bracelet meant for a standard Constellation or is it a C-Case bracelet?

    C Case needs 19mm as far i know... So i assume it is for Constellation

    One found by JM251

    They come up from time to time on eBay. Usually one about every 3-6 months, sometimes less, sometimes more, you have to keep a sharp eye out. Also beware of refinished dials.
    Watch for one in decent condition for about $2300. to 2600. Beyond that it is up to you what you want to spend

    Its for a an earlier model as size is 18mm on that listing, unless it'/s been mismeasured. Looks like a C-Shape bracelet to me.

    That's what I was wondering though, the 1mm difference in size is pretty easy to get wrong and it looks like the same thicker weave the C-Case's have rather than the finer ones you see on the 18mm Connies.

    Here's one in 14k that looks finer to me.. perhaps more deluxe suited: http://amsterdamvintagewatches.com/en/parts-accessories/783-omega-bracelet.html
    I'm also considering a milanese to accommodate a 320 dress chronograph, would be nice if it were interchangeable with the deluxe...which I'm guessing it would be.

    Here's a nice set of milanese mesh examples on Connies (pic from RJ at Fratellowatches.com):
