    Hi everyone,
    I have my brand new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 GMT but I don't like the original bracelet.
    Either the Rubber than the steel one.
    To me, additionally to the genuine NATO strap...the best look comes from the shark mesh :)
    Unfortunately my watch is 21 while all the shark mesh are even numbers...20/22/24 etc.
    What anyone is suggesting me?

    If The watch is black (appears to be the case but black and white photo, so I can’t be sure) and you like the fabric look of the nato, perhaps consider the dark side of the moon deployant strap, although it’s not waterproof.

    The watch is black without orange indexes.
    I love the shark mesh, but I would like the genuine one and, as far as I know, there is not 21mm...

    I think the 22mm bracelet will work for you. I've got a 20mm OEM shark mesh and it will compress to 18.8mm in my venier calipers. So it would fit on a 19mm watch. I'm gonna bet that that 22mm braclet will compress enough to fit your 21mm lugs. There's a fair amount of play in the little links at the ends of the bracelet. Your only remaining question is whether you would need the extension for the bracelet so that it would fit your wrist.

    Good Luck with your decision. :)

    I literally adore the nato strap. I got different combination of color and I like to change them frequently. Nevertheless, I think that a steel one is much more adequate as a permanent condition..

    I opted for a Hirsch strap for a bit of a change...

    Google Kevlar straps. They have a good textured look, good water proofing and the ones I had came with orange stitching. Ideal for your watch I think.

    Looks great. I have a similar Omega mesh on a Speedie but the ends are not individual chain links loose on the spring bar, instead the mesh ends in a tube, making the width fixed.

    I was in doubt since the watch is 21 and the bracelet 20 or 22, so I adopted a 20 mm without spring bar to be sure it matches.
    It works perfectly and it is less heavy weight than expected!

    How much ”adjustability” would you say that the ends have on your version?

    The links in the shark mesh are quite dense and I wasn't sure if I could fit a 22, so I chose a 20 that left 0.5 only mm per side. You may see it also from the photos, the effect is quite contained and seems to fit well

    It looks perfect to me, guess 0.5mm on each side is good enough. Has to be some play to move freely anyway,
