Breitling mesh quest - completed!

Recommended Posts

Del

Following on from my previous "Breitling mesh quest" thread where I was looking at the options for a 24mm mesh bracelet to use with the SuperOcean Heritage, I went the "Full Monty" and bought a second-hand gen Breitling mesh from a seller on eBay!

:AT:

 

Brand new these retail at around £500 :bugeyes: but I bagged this second-hand one in excellent condition for £350 including next day delivery (from within the UK). The seller had it listed for auction with a starting price of £399 but through negotiation we agreed a price of £350 via bank transfer and he stopped the auction. These gen mesh bracelets seem to be quite difficult to track down, although a brand new one (in box) was sold on eBay earlier this week for £380 plus shipping so they do come up from time to time.

 

I have to say, it's a beautiful bracelet and it feels very special. I'm delighted with it! :dingleberry-nemesis:

 

The main reason for buying it was to use it with a new black SOHv2 bought last week from Watch International but since that watch has been sent to Wiz for reluming and waterproofing I thought I'd try out the new mesh on my other SOHv2 - the blue version! :D

 

I intend to do a proper photoshoot with the black SOHv2 and mesh when I get the watch back from Wiz but I took a few quick wristies tonight of the blue SOHv2 with the mesh - it's also a great combo imo!

 

Hope you enjoy the pics! :thumbsup2:

Thanks guys! :)

 

And I meant to say, I've sized it down to my 6.75" wrist size and it still has I think 2 links that could be removed plus a couple of notches in the micro adjuster so it's great for all us girlie-wristed large watch lovers! :lol:

what is the thickness?

enjoy!

It feels amazing - really smooth and supple. It seems to "flow" through your fingers when you hold it. Plus it's tapered, unlike after market mesh bracelets, which just adds to the quality feel of it. I'm not sure of the official thickness measurement but it's somewhere between 3 and 4mm I reckon.
