Mesh straps/bracelets

Post by oberonfoto »

Came across a French company - Esprit-nato - last week. Picked up a couple of mesh straps/bracelets with QR pins from them. Silver one for the C65 Dartmouth and a black one for the Holton. The QR bars can be removed so I can use the Hilton’s screw in bar as usual. Highly recommended:

They look pretty decent and a good price too :thumbup:
They look good on the watches.

Personally, I do like the Merriott QR Milanese Mesh from WatchGecko.

Hi. I've a Malvern C5 Slimline square that currently has a leather crocodile strap. Can I simply change over to a mesh bracelet? Excuse my ignorance.
A bit of advice would be welcome
Thanks.

^^ You certainly can change over to a mesh bracelet. Once you get the knack of changing straps a whole new watch world will open up to you! I'd advise you get yourself a Bergeon 6767f strap changing tool, and watch a couple of youtube videos to get yourself started. It's not hard, but can be a bit fiddly at first. Good luck! :thumbup:

Good advice from Lindsey :thumbup:
This might sound obvious but make sure you get the correct lug width to fit.

EDIT: It's 20mm lug width according to the CW Archive: https://cwarchive.knack.com/cwarchive/# ... fcfe732bb/

Thanks for your help. I'll check out watchgecho, it appears quite a few times on the forum.
