Inexpensive Aftermarket watch bands for Breitling SOH

[tick tock 0]

After reading some of the other posts on the mesh watch band on the SOH V2 being somewhat large I started to scour the internet in search of a smaller mesh band and I came across this site. The listed prices are very ebay-esque and as far as I can tell the look and quality is almost identical to the Staib brand.

cheers mate -these actually look great!

 

Are you getting one? If so - take some pics and post a review I'm sure there are loads of people here (myself included) who would be very interested in the quality of these.

I am 90% sure that I will be buying one, if it does come to fruition I will take pics and post a review. But warning in advance my review and pics will not be nowhere near your level Ska!

Some if these have very little mesh and A LOT of clasp and solid links. Not a very clean mesh look IMHO. Staib mesh is much cleaner look with full thick mesh and only a few removable solid links and a hidden clasp. :P

I agree, that is why I am still 10% undecided, but there is the price savings....

You can buy the Staib 24mm for about 100€ on watchbandcenter.com

For the price, I may just go ahead and get one.

Looking at the length of the straps, I think unless you had an 8.5" wrist or larger you'd be removing almost all the adjustable links so it shouldn't be a problem. Apart from anything else, at this price point these meshes represent a very good alternative to the Staib for people who don't want to fork out as much.

I was actually considering the band with Item no. SWVHFB1224 . It does not have any additional links to remove the adjustment is done from the clasp. It adjusts down to a minimum length of 155mm which should be good for anyone that has a wrist size of at least 6 inches. Also, you can't beat the $55.99 price!

The Staib is still a much cleaner mesh look and is higher quality, it's worth the few extra bucks. Remember, GBOGH!

I checked out their website and they do not have this band in 24mm for the SOH.

[mondeov6 0]

Mesh arrived today....

 

Pretty fast delivery. Order placed sep 7.

 

I must say I am very pleased with the bracelet. I think it fits the SOH very well

and it looks good to! It is thicker,wider and heavier than the mesh I got with the watch.

I do not have any "top class" mesh to compare it to but I do think this is very

good value for the money. (69.99$)
