PAM on a mesh bracelet

ok, there's just something about mesh bracelets that i like, but, i'm not going to go run out and get a PO, which i think look great on mesh, just to have a mesh bracelet.....

so, that leads me to this question.

a PAM on a mesh would be ridiculous, right??

anyone done it?

Mesh on a pam? That is very daring agenda!

i thought you might have something to say about this, dan!

found these pix on the internets.....not sure about the gap and how much the case will tower over the mesh bar, but, interesting nonetheless.

You know me, if I like it I tell the world!

Matching the watch and mesh bracelet finish, brushed or polished, will add a nice touch to the overall combo too.

Cru...when I initially read your post, I couldn't picture it, but that pic you found looks pretty good. I say...just do it. Perhaps you will start a trend that the other Paneristis can follow!

I also admit my imagination thought it would not look so good, but those pics make it look quite nice.

doesnt look too bad Cru - i may give it a go on a PAM000 when i get a mesh bracelet next week

i think the sub-dial-less 000 dial should give it a "cleaner" look.

Doesn't look to bad. But like Dan recomended, the fit and finish should match the watch for it to look right.

Maybe if I was wearing a chainmail vest and about to enter a jousting competition. Otherwise, not for me either!

It is just a clash with the sharp lines of the case and all the rounded bumps of the mesh. I say pass, but that is my 2 cents.

i hear you, mik.

strapcode offers this mesh, too....it's more angular, i suppose, which might work better with the case, but, i like the look of it less.....

Wearing my PO on mesh right now and it's my favorite combo in my collection. Even being a huge fan of mesh bracelets I have to say that I think a PAM belongs on leather and anything else will detract from the appeal, IMHO.
