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.

I very much like your 8500 PO on mesh. Nice look, and thank you for sharing.

FeelingTheBlues · 20 January 2012, 10:58 AM

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

warren G. · 20 January 2012, 11:32 AM

Great look, good to see some PO 8500 pics around.

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!!!!!

Looks great!

Does Otto Frei sell genuine Omega parts or aftermarket?

Curious........if its not the same that came on my 2200.53.00 or on the Ploprof, what watch is it for then???? Is it an Omega OEM bracelet or aftermarket????

Great looking watch, and the mesh bracelet has a real classic look.

CMLPXLV · 20 January 2012, 02:33 PM

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.

Looks great! I just ordered a mesh bracelet for my 1st-Gen PO.

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

So I am assuming this is the 45mm PO?
