Nice. I have that exact same Squale but OEM mesh bracelet doesn’t have enough flex to go around my wrist correctly so the clasp sticks out like a blade. That’s a great alternative bracelet. Looks almost OEM.

Nice stuff ! Tease more 😉 with new releases... genius!

Thanks! Will do!

I have two of the thinner Staib bracelets and love the quality of build and finish. This is way ahead of the only other mesh bracelet I own, a Junghans 17mm on a small JDM Seiko Dolce. Another plus point is that there is no visible Staib logo so you can put them on any brand of watch. One of my Staibs has the brushed finish and is on a 1981 Omega Constellation Quartz Chronometer: after 40 years, I've tried quite a few straps on it, but this is by far my favourite. The other is a polished one, fitted to a Sinn 6068B, since Sinn don't do their own milanese mesh bracelets. For me, they are well worth the price.

I couldn’t help it- I paused and that GMT looks impressive and a new approach for the brand! Not sharing the images anywhere. I was so curious.. I imagine it’s going to be a smashing hit!

I recently bought the brushed finish staib to pair with my SPB237 Willard - looks amazing! Definitely gives off omega NTTD vibes. I do kinda wish I ordered the larger size since I have it on the largest micro adjust, and it’s a good fit now but if I were outside in warm weather it would be too tight 🫤

The Breitling Superocean Heritage is offered with an amazing mesh bracelet. It has taper, and it also has removable links that look like mesh. I have no idea how they manufactured that bracelet. Best mesh bracelet I have ever seen.

I’ve got one STAIB mesh bracelet bought in Germany 2021 the model is the one Marc showed first satin brushed with clasp removable links and divers extension very thick and heavy but top quality I’ve payed less got a discount from the seller it’s 22 mm lugs size, very good bracelet! If you are looking for mesh bracelets go for it mine is 130 cm got a small wrist but in hot days you all know wish they have half size links and it will be 💯 plus superb 😉👍

I have 3 Fossil Chronographs, 2 of which have drilled lugs (I really dislike drilled lugs). Recently I switched out the SS bracelets on the two and replaced one with a velcro strap (gave the watch to my son later) and replaced the other with a Barton brand dual color silicone rubber (gave that one to my wife to use as a beater) Both watches are over 12 years old quartz and the bracelets had never been removed before yesterday. Well, when I was removing the pins for the SS bracelet, I had to really get rough with the pins to get them out, so all the pins are bent now. I had to use spring-bar pins because that is all that I have. So, now with the new bands there are vacant holes on the outside of lugs and it just looks cheap. Any strap brand suggestions or do I need to get new pins?

Your watch looks great with the mesh 👍

I think so too!

Yeah. My first - and fave - real watch came with a Staib bracelet just like the one at 2:50 but brushed finish. It's wonderful. It is more expensive than the watches I owned before I got the real watch, but you can feel where the money went. Marc, you're going from strength to strength. Nice work. Nice products. Great ethos. All the best.

Can u do Jubilee Bracelet PVD Black?

If I bought an Islander, can I easily find out what Jubillee you sell will fit it (with properly fitted endlinks)?

Two tone bracelet options would be great since strapcode stop stocking a few of theirs

Hello. I am looking to purchase a Staib but torn between 150mm or 170mm. I’m a 7.5 wrist with a marathon GSAR lug to lug of 43mm. Just can’t decide

Do you have solid bracelet for invicta pro diver 8926ob?

I think straight end bracelets can often look better than those with end links, especially on larger watches. Thanks for the vid; take care.

I got a Seiko Dark Manta Ray and was considering the Strapcode bracelet but it’s over 100 bucks. I was watching a review of this watch from Arizona Time, and they mentioned about how Marc was selling an identical bracelet for almost half the price. I immediately bought it and it’s an awesome and equal alternative.

Marc, I wished you offered the Islander bracelets with the V Clasp instead of the standard 3 micro adjust clasp. Having the 6 micro adjustment holes makes getting just the right fit much easier. I know it would add to the cost of the bracelet but it would be better than buying the bracelet and then having to buy a new clasp.

I have a Citizen Diver and unfortunately it's got terrible lugs. Only 12mm and they're very wide. it originally came on a rubber strap that was moulded around the lugs. it's currently sewn onto a Nato strap. I wish there was some way of adapting it 😟
