OEM Mesh Bracelet on Speedmaster

I finally broke down and purchased the 20mm OEM Steel Mesh Bracelet from my AD. I have always liked the look and have owned the NTTD several times and I am familiar with the look and wear. The price, $850, no discounts and it had slowed me down a bit. In the end, I just did it and am pleased with it. Some of my watch friends typically use the word, justification, when referring to certain watch things and I get it but you don't own thing without buying them. I have the bracelet on my 1861 but will rotate it through my two 3861's, white/black.

It fits well, no issues. I have read from fellow TRF's that they have issues with getting a good fit but I have not experienced that with this bracelet or the ones on my NTTD.

It's a strap that as long as you can get a good fit, it's great. It just isn't as adaptable as other options. I know you can get different lengths, but even then the clasp section is bulky.

I personally never had an issue with the OEM mesh. I think it looks better than it fits, but after getting rid of my NTTD and seeking to get the newest Seamaster 300M in black, it is not a deterrent.

Looks good. I really need to try one of those. I worry about the thickness in the area where the end of the strap tucks under. But the overall look is really sharp. Curious to hear your opinion after wearing it for a couple months.
