I've done the same recently. Kinda like it, how about you? Great pics, btw.
How do you like the double nylon strap? I've had my eye one that as well.

Thank you. Your vintage Sub is a dream. The mesh has a nice "give" when worn and really compliments a Sub.
Do you have any shots of the buckle on the nylon? Just wondering how much of the bottom nylon layer overlap there is.

Nice pics gents. I love the vintage on nylon look. Mesh is cool too but I'm a NATO or nylon-strap or rubber-strap guy.

Both look very good.

The mesh has a very special appeal.

Wow, Sub (Rolex or Tudor) on mesh comes as a sort of revelation to me, I haven`t dream that it could possibly looking THAT good!

Love that mesh bracelet!

I seem to recall a lot of angst on TZ when someone had the audacity to put a sub on an Omega mesh. Amazing the change in response when you don't show the clasp!

I like the retro look of the mesh but would be worried about scratching/denting the lugs wearing it.

CLOSE THE CROWN!

Otherwise you're going to have a nice little paperweight on a mesh bracelet.
