PO 8500 w/MESH
I know some don't like it, but I changed it up and went with the mesh. I bought the watch this past weekend and ordered the mesh the next day. When I got home (to about 4 inches of snow) it was waiting for me.
So I threw it on.     I ordered it from Otto Frei. It may not be as hefty as the mesh that comes standard on the PO or on the Ploprof, but I like the look. Its a touch tighter than the one I had on the 42mm. I may need the extension for the one notch. Rob |

I like mesh bracelets but, as I mentioned before, the only thing I would have liked is some endlinks on it.

Now you're talking.......the way an Omega diver should look.
 I have the same bracelet on my caliber 2500 PO and my son has the mesh on the same dial style as yours only with the caliber 2500 (AD changed out bracelet for no extra charge.......that was sweet!!!!!)Great choice........a diver could not look better!!!!!

They are genuine mesh, but for watches from the 70's. Current mesh is updated with better clasp and some removable links. Personally I don't like the end pieces on the newer mesh. I had mesh on my PO 2500.

Nice look, I often think of getting something to put on a mesh bracelet.
