As some of you may be aware, I have just aquired a 6309 - 7040  Question one, Would you buy this for it ? I have tried my spare Jubilee Bracelet, and I really am not keen. Question Two, If I do buy it, how does it fit onto the Lugs, do the Fat Bars just go through the straight ends on the SM bracelet ? I only ask as I have seen some S.M. Bracelets that have different ends which the Fat Bars fit through. Thks in advance, Vyn.   |

Mesh is too blingy for my taste, I much prefer it on an oyster or Zulu. Another nice option is one of Larry's new waffle straps, or an original GL831.   |

I bought a 22 mm mesh for my SKX007 Mod and found it way too blingy. Just my humble opinion on my wrist.
I love Uncle Seiko/Larry's new waffle and he shows it mounted to a 6309 in his thread referenced above. That would be my vote.
As always, do what pleases YOU and not the crowd.

Seeing as you asked.... I would not buy the mesh. It rarely looks good, especially when you have options like Oyster and Endmill.

I do like the waffle, I looked at them on another site, only they are from the States, and I am not a patient man, also, I can't find a decent Oyster to buy here in UK, they all look real crap  |

The reason I asked was, I have never had a mesh, I've had the others i.e. Oyster and Jubilees, and was just getting opinions, as I don't want to buy it and waste money....

i have that particular mesh bracelet on several of my big faced 70s watches. For the most part I love them BUT... sometimes the clasp slips while wearing and your watch could fall.
I'd go for a sturdier mesh bracelet.

Yeah, I did ask didn't I ? I've googled pics of Divers on Mesh and couldn't really decide.... sometimes they look good and sometimes they look OTT. Seeing as you asked.... I would not buy the mesh. It rarely looks good, especially when you have options like Oyster and Endmill. |

I'm Shrewd AKA tight Mesh bracelets come in different finishes (obviously). Might want to shop in a B & M store to see which, if any, would suit your intended use.
I recently swapped a leather strap for a mesh bracelet on my wife's Casio solar. (With her function topped appearance.) The 1 7/8MM wide spring bars on the strap were too thick for the mesh, but 1.5MM wide spring bars accompanied the mesh and, of course, did fit.

I ordered my Super Oyster from Yobokies, Harold is good to deal with. I know some folks also like wjean's, and he gives WS discounts. I like to have a bracelet option, as well as rubber or Zulu.

Thk you very much for that info, I don't think i'll be buying that one then, it would really hack me off if I damaged my 6309 that way !! Thk you very much again i have that particular mesh bracelet on several of my big faced 70s watches. For the most part I love them BUT... sometimes the clasp slips while wearing and your watch could fall. I'd go for a sturdier mesh bracelet. |
