I thought I would contribute to this older thread and depict what is discussed within some postings. Here are some iPhone quick pics of the NTTD (Seamaster) Ti mesh bracelet placed on an X-33 Skywalker. The Bond Ti bracelet is of the same grade as the X-33, so the color matches the X-33 case perfectly. I purchased the bracelet at an Omega Boutique. Its also a notably lighter watch than with the original stock Ti X-33 bracelet.
A couple of these pics have some of my other watches, so before someone queries me.
Clockwise from upper left:
My FOIS with its original 1861 movement, converted to Hesalite with an Ed White type dial and hands and 60th Anniversary crown. Pre-Moon case back. 617 end links on an 1125 bracelet.
Second, a 'version' of the 'Ultraman' with 1873 movement with fitted 50th Anniversary bracelet, and service case back,
Thirdly, a restored 145.012, with fitted 50th Anniversary bracelet, and overhauled 321 movement.
What's next? I do have my eye on the 60th Anniversary Bond. I think the case back is rather kitschy (save the Dr. No dots), but at least the front is clean. We'll see.
Lastly, while I'm a professional pilot, my deceased stepfather spent his entire USAF military career as an engineer at NASA. Military payload spy satellites. He later stayed on with a contractor after retiring (Lt. Colonel) thru the shuttle program. That said, among others, he was aquatinted with Ed White and liked him very much.
