I quite like the look of the mesh bracelet, but I hear they aren't very strong or dependable.

Both the black straps look pretty cool too!!

Fully agree with the comfort aspect. I had a MIDO Ocean Star once several years ago which came with its original mesh bracelet. Didn't last too long.

But I'm sure OMEGA would have made vast improvements since then. If you can trust it, then I think it looks superb. Go for it.

It's a very thick and heavy bracelet JJ..













And if anyone thinks it's a hair puller, no way..

But the SM300 is now on the brown leather strap, and it's growing on me every minute..

I have to admire your photographic skills, GJ....excellent!

Yes, the mesh bracelet does look pretty strong and I love the OMEGA logo indented on the clasp. Way too cool!! Enjoy it, pal!!

I'll make it clean sweep so far for the mesh Gerard.

Of course the only REAL way I can tell is for you to send me the watch with all the variations so I can be sure. Shouldn't take all THAT long!

I've been wearing my 2254 on the black rubber so far and loving it, so that would be my vote. But, the mesh is a really, really, really close second

I voted 1171. The mesh bracelet looks too busy on that watch IMHO.

JJ,
Your watch in this pic doesn't look like Bluesey? It looks like a YM.

That was his last "true love", "one and only" and "one that he would never part with". But, it's gone, now.

I voted carbon, but I want to have a write in for a NATO, I think that would make that baby look very nice!

Second Dman, I also voted Black Carbon, but think an Olive Green Zulu strap would look bestand be the most comfortable. Check out LApolicegear.com and do a search for Zulu straps.

No rubber dive strap? I would of thought that might look good on a Seamaster.

It is in fact the TT Blue YM....which I sold off last December prior to Christmas and then got the Blue Sub.
