my shark mesh came in!
Strapcode Ploprof 316 sharkmesh with h links
Looks like my pics are too big to upload here but if you know about the WUS Estoril thread in the dive watch forum you can see them posted there.
I am very happy with it and glad I paid more.
The finishing is very good. Nice smooth clear polish. No sharp edges or snags. The buckle is nice and crisp, better than my strapcode endmill. The flat links look great. Nice smooth feel to the touch. I was worried the flat links would look too aggressive but they don't. It gives a lot of depth to the bracelet as the links and texture shift with the light. Also the initial impression was that is wasn't too shiny, so I doubt I will be in a rush to brush it if at all. Sizing was very easy. Unscrewed quite nicely. The watch I tried it on is an RLT 75 which has near identical dimensions to the Estoril. The best part is all the H links came out for my 173mm/6.75" wrist. So I get the adjustability of the extra links and the strength and clean look of a straight mesh! I may have to add a link for the Estoril which would be fine as I was on the largest micro adjust and I think my wrist is small now. Also the Estoril I think has lower lugs. Either way I am pleased as I thought it might be too long. Nice feel on wrist. Conforms nicely and is not too heavy or too light. While I wish I had an omega bracelet the density looks good in wrist, if only it had one more link to fill the lugs more. The omega version has 9 links across as opposed to the 8 all after markets have in 20mm. I think it will look great with the shoulder less marathon bars i have coming, nice and clean. I won't be able to try them though till the Estoril arrives as the RLT doesn't have drilled lugs.
Definitely recommend!
