SM300 Vintage Master Co-Ax Omega Mesh Band question

    Has anyone tried to put an Omega mesh bracelet on their new Seamaster 300 Vintage Master Co-Ax?
    I think it would look great and I am looking for something to use to preserve the original bracelet. My issue is, the original bracelet measures 21mm. The mesh bracelets come in 20 and 22 mm widths. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Don

    Thanks!! I think the clasp on the original bracelet is about 22 mm as well. What I should likely do is just wear the thing and forget about it. It's not like I'm going to sell it anyway.

    I also consider OEM Omega mesh and I think 22m would fit.
    I've seen this.
    What do you think.

    I think they look good but not as good as the original bracelet. You had a picture of yours with a NATO strap that looked really good. I've been thinking of going that way instead. What width did you order for the NATO strap?
    Thanks

    I used 22mm. Also tried 20mm but there was a noticed gap.
    22mm was ok. I didn't have to squeeze it. If you can't find a decent 21mm go for 22mm.

    Today I fited a 22mm rubber with ease too.

    Thank you. You too. I would like my next watch to be PO 8500. I miss PO 2500 that I used to have.

    I tried that rubber. What's your opinion?

    I like the rubber but I still think your NATO looks better. I really like my planet ocean 8500 as well I put this strap on it yesterday. image.jpg image.jpg

    I like it. Cool buckle and it's 21mm.
    On the picture it looks like the stitching matches lume colour. But in description it says Olive green. Hmm....?

    I thought the same thing about the stitching. I think it would look good.
