Slight correction the watch in the box is a marine chronometer what you have bought is a deck watch. The marine chronometer is built to much tighter standards. WW2 US navy standards for marine chronometers was a second and a half per day. And they had to be this accurate because it was a navigation tool. The deck watches would be worn by the crew and they were built to what we now call cosc certification which is -4 to +6 a day. And they would set their watches to the marine chronometer and that is how you get ship time.

Fantastic video ! Thank you so much. I thinking to buy mesh with the butterfly clasp. My wrist is 7 inches ( 180 mm ) and My Omega 300 Dive is 50mm lug to lug so I should get 150 mm bracelet. Correct?

I wear the 130-150 one on my Omega SMP 300 and have a number of links to spare, so you should be good with that size. Enjoy!

On Omega a shark mesh is kinda mandatory. A high end watch deserves a great bracelet
@DavesWatchLoveАй бұрын
Agreed. Back when I made this video, mesh on an Omega Seamster professional was unheard of and considered bad taste. Glad to see that has changed.

I’ve literally just opened my Berny mesh bracelet from AliExpress. £11. Great quality, feels & looks just as good as, if not better than the Milanese band I bought from Apple for £99 4 years ago! Watch Gecko is a great company, but a few KZread videos out there help to direct people to good quality Chinese offerings 👍 Thanks for this comparison, it shows that we need to be wary! I’ve just noticed this video was made 6 years ago. I think that things have really improved since then…….

@DavesWatchLove3 ай бұрын
I can't say with absolute certainty, but both share the same size case (42mm), so I imagine they are the same case. Can't see Hamilton making two different cases. So I would think the steel bracelet would match the chronograph. Best of luck!
@dude...are-you-sure3 ай бұрын
Thank you for that very interesting history of the brand and design. I never knew about the Piping Rock and how this watch is an homage to the Piping Rock. Can someone confirm whether the case is the same for the regular non chronograph and chronograph? I want to buy the oem stainless steel bracelet for my h797160. The seller of the factory stainless steel bracelet couldn't confirm. If it will fit because Hamilton never offered the chromograph... I couldnt find any sude by sude of the two versions together but from the pictures and videos I examined, the two cases appear to be the same...

Nice review! However, one advantage of the less expensive models in your review is the relative range and ease of size adjustability. Right from the start, the wrap-around type of mesh bracelet will fit a wide range of wrist sizes with near infinite adjustability, and because of the clasp design, the fit can be resized almost on the fly (all that is needed is a paper clip and about 2 seconds) at any time during the day. The clasp on the Milanaise-style bracelet I have is also very secure, and much more discreet than the monster clasp on the STAIB model.

Lug to lug is about 47-48mm and my wrist is around 7 inches (give or take a quarter). I think I'll be fine with the medium lenght 150mm version, but I'm still debating on the butterfly vs diver clasp... Which one do you recommend? I'm also going with the Matte version (less shiny version).

@curiousassortment8 ай бұрын
I bought a cheap Chinese version also. It was made badly - the clasp would not slide. Kinks in the bracelet prevented the slide to adjust length. The Chinese market depends on volume - it has come to mean cheap, not only in the sense of "inexpensive" but in the sense of poor craftsmanship. I have rarely seen it otherwise. It will continue, of course, as long as people continue to patronize these products. There are choices.

Would you reccomend the 2784 or 2792 for a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 ? I bought mine on a rubber strap with a deployant clasp and while i like the clasp i regretted not getting the bracelet straight away. And apparently Staib maked Breitlings bracelets anyway.
@DavesWatchLove9 ай бұрын
I wear the 2792 with my Omega Seamaster 300. It's the more elegant of the two and would look great on the Breitling. If you want something a little thicker and heavier and more aggressive for your dive watch, a 20mm version of the 2784 would be a possibility. The two bracelets actually feel quite different. The extra millimeter of thickness makes a difference.

Will be getting this too for my 8 inch wrist. The regular moonwatch is just a bit too small for a chronograph. For this type of watch I feel like it can be a bit bigger. And for me 44mm is pretty much the ideal size anyways. For most of the people its likely too big. This is a hard find these days too, was lucky to find one.

I just purchased a 20 buck mesh identical to the WatchGecko model with oblique links and the angular clasp they sell for about $50. I'm 100% sure it's the same exact bracelet, as many have pointed out that WatchGecko has Chinese factories pump out many of their cheaper offerings as OTS straps with customized logos on the clasp. You pay about 60% more for the logo alone, and with WG being outside the EU you end up spending about €100 for a €40 strap. Embarrassing to say the least.
