Christmas came early(was supposed to be my pressie from the missus). Finally I get to see the Great White on Omega mesh, just had to wait to make the combo myself.



I absolutely love this bracelet, comfort is next level and my fears of the watch head swinging around with this type of bracelet were unfounded, actually it sits perfect as it kind of holds an even curve shape by itself so the watch head holds central to your wrist.

They're certainly short, fit my 6.75" wrist perfectly straight from the package(moved to the centre hole on the micro adjust), I guess 7" would be the absolute max before you'd need extension sections added.

I reversed mine to the less blingy side and have dulled it down slightly with a buff stick, might give it a little extra(must get some garyflex blocks) but it's pretty good now.

Worth the money over the cheaper alternatives? I can't say as I haven't owned a cheapy but I think it's excellent quality and reasonable given the crazy prices the likes of Breitling etc. charge.


It looks the business on that silver mesh bracelet!

I've decided to make this model my next piece. Thanks for all the great photos and for driving me off the edge...

You won't regret it. Both this and the black dial version are incredible values right now. When I was first thinking about my long term collection plans I said to myself, 'maybe I'll pick up a Seamaster GMT for now, and one day I'll trade up to an Explorer II.' Now that I have the Seamaster, I have zero desire to trade up in this fashion.

Question: The photo with the orange strap is that with the PO 2500 or 8500 rubber strap? Did that require a 1.5mm thick spring bar? Thank you for any help... I really enjoy that combo and would like to get something similar

I ended up fully brushing the shark mesh, much better suits the case and I haven't swapped it around since.
