They also make the mesh bracelet for Omega for the No Time To Die Seamaster.

It's good to see that you actually wear your Yachtmaster. Many "watch people" spend a lot on watches they simply don't wear, that's too bad and a sin.✌🏽

Mesh bracelets have become very popular over the last couple of years, I wasn’t sure but having tried a few I’m hooked. The lack of taper is carried off far better than with a conventional link bracelet.

Thanks Marc for your help with my purchase of the Staib 2784 for my Breitling Superocean Heritage ii. Look forward to getting this bracelet on my watch.

I wasn’t feeling these until I saw it on the Omega Bond watch and wow do they look great on divers, loving mine!

Dude, that ISL-18 with that band is 🔥 , had to rewind & pause the video to look at it again. Do you sell the titanium conversion or is it just a prototype ? The mesh band when you wore it actually looks good, it showcases the Rolex watch well.

Been thinking about one of these for my Planet Ocean which has a 20mm lug width. I would prefer the more fitted end links but willing to give the straight bars a chance as it looks great on yours Marc. Oh yeah and the butterfly is the one I prefer although most prefer a clasp. Your thoughts?

Which bracelet do you have that is most like the Bond No Time To Die milanese?

Nice looking alternatives! I love choices, I just hate making decisions lol. Thanks Marc and have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I used to think mesh looked too blingy, but after trying a brushed shark mesh bracelet on one of my divers they grew on me, mostly due to the comfort. However, I still don't think they go with every style of watch, especially not on a flieger or field watch, but I'm open to have my opinion changed.

Back in the 60's my father wore mesh bracelets on some of his watches. Myself, I prefer exotic leathers, rubber, and sailcloth straps. This leads me to my question, do you plan to make sailcloth straps? By the way, your Yachtmaster is one of my grail pieces.

I have a Staib on my Omega 300 Seamaster.

Rather feel the full weight on my wrist but nice alternative!👌

Can you swap the Staib clasp with an OEM

So Rolex did make a ’Red October’ Islander hommage, right ?! 😏😅👍

Interesting with at least two intriguinging applications in my collection but definitely next level pricing :(

I bought one of these bracelets from Marc for my Omega Railmaster. It's a gorgeous combo. The quality, weight and finishing looks very appropriate for the watch.

I bought one from Long Island watch and love it. I got the thicker on on the right with the diver type clasp in satin. Originally put on a Breitling Super Ocean but it ended up on my Tudor Black Bay Blue and I love the look. Substantial but very comfortable. Benn on it for 2+ years so far. Been very happy with everything purchased from Long Island watch

Why the hell not. Rolex is a just a cash grab these days ... Designs have gone downhill... They won't expand to meet demand... They're not innovative. I mean Omega is the better brand these days. The Rolex name costs you at least a 2-6 thousand extra dollars.... If you can buy one. That Milanese meet strap definitely on par with the Rolex finishing. (It's really not all that impressive) Rolex would probably charge you $800 for one that looks just like it with their name on it... Maybe in their proprietary stainless steel.
