Comfortable - no hair pulling - but heavy. The Flightmaster plus mesh is really, really heavy.
Only half the weight of the original Bond 馃榾

Very interesting.

Mine came from Otto Frei with the flat side out. But I see a significant number of you wearing yours round side out. Did you do that on purpose?

I do wear it flat side out because shiny! 馃榾

I've never thought about how I wear it--I just wear it the way it came.

I got curious and I dug out my mesh bracelet. It's the seat belt style, not the PloProf and both sides look the same to me. Am I missing something or is the Ploprof mesh different?

I still have the mesh installed on my SM300 and SMPc chronograph, but I put my Planet Oceans back on the Omega bracelets for now, although I like them both ways. Didn't like it on my '76 Moonwatch and never got a photo of it.

I have 2 Omega 20mm mesh straps, 2 Strapcode 20mm mesh, one generic eBay 20mm mesh, and I have a 22mm Strapcode mesh on the way for my Ti PO 9300 LM. I believe the mesh on the Great White GMT was sold with the watch to DavidSW, but I'm not sure.

Great to hear that someone else also dares to admit having other than Omega-OEM bracelets馃憤 Larry, how do you find the quality Strapcode vs. OEM in relation to price?

The one above on the Ti PO 8500 LM and the NOS SM300 are the Omega mesh, and they're the best of them all. But the Strapcode is very close. The Strapcode is on the SMPc chronograph. I'm not using the generic eBay one right now, but I did try it on the PO 2500 and you can see the clasp in one of the photos.

I have the Strapcode ones with the ratcheting adjustable clasp, and the quality is very good. But the buckle is a bit larger than the ones on a PO or SMP. (in thickness and length). This makes resting my arm on a table a little weird as the buckle pushed my arm up off the table more. The generic eBay one has a smaller clasp (photos tomorrow) and it's just as comfortable resting my arm on a table as the Omega shark mesh (small seat buckle clasp), but it gives up quality in the clasp.

The generic mesh's clasp build quality make me worry that the pin holding the hinge together could fall out with a lot of use, although the mesh itself can be very nice. I had to buy a pair of the eBay straps to get 2 pieces of mesh that had all the rows of links line up straight, and then I gave the other 2 pieces of mesh, that seemed to have the link rows running a little crooked, to my son.

Yeap, tha clasp in my Starpcode mesh is a bit thick. Otherwise considering the price I麓m very happy with it. And of course there are several different clasp options avaiable.

The next thing I麓m buying is a depluyeaynemoint (urrr, did I get it right 馃榿) from Watchobsession to fit my Hirsch Medici. Some say that the deplouaioyment can also feel a bit weird because of the thickness. We麓ll see about that later....

I also have a Strapcode mesh bracelet[some where] and the mesh is quite nice. The clasp however is HUGE. I would use the mesh with a Omega clasp thou.
