I just can't get behind the mesh bracelet trend. My Dad's 60's era Chronostop came with an OEM mesh bracelet and it seems to fit a vintage watch better than a modern diver, IMO. Maybe it's a weight thing but the mesh on the new Seamaster's ruin it for me. Can you fit a oyster-looking bracelet to this guy, preferably in titanium?

The mesh bracelet fits like sh1t on a lot of people. That's one of the reasons why I never picked up one of these.

Uncle Seiko developed some aftermarket titanium bracelets to match this one.

I like a mesh bracelet as an alternative but not as my OEM bracelet. You are 100% dead-on that a titanium oyster bracelet on this would be 🔥

No idea why Omega made the clasp on the mesh bracelet so bulky. Defeats the whole purpose of a thin mesh bracelet.

Speaking of bracelets...yesterday I learned via Youreterrific's youtube video, that my beater dive watch, which I've had for over year, has a neat little micro adjust on the clasp. I took it off the bracelet, the moment it arrived and it's been on a NATO or a tropic ever since. So I was inspired to finally size it and install it...and it turns out...it's pretty nice!

Even better than GS, with micro adjust clasp!

You could just buy an aftermarket one.

Decided to order one of these. After a few youtube vids, it looks fairly easy to install. Will keep you posted.

I'm slightly terrified of that exact issue.

You'll be fine. I changed mine without a problem.

Breitling did a good job of theirs on the B20 Superocean, it’s a bit thicker which I think suits the foldover clasp

One cannot pump the anus while simultaneously 69’ing. He must be going through a divorce to sell such a treasure gifted from his wife’s boyfriend. Is the dial color listed as “Prolapsed rectum, cucked”?

Been chasing this one for a few years, just never quite found a listing I liked. Where'd you get yours? Early 2000s transitional Seamasters are my favorite.
