Omega mesh - can it get small enough for my wrist?
Looking at getting some 20mm mesh. First off- where can I even get it? Preowned is all I can think of.
My wrist is about 6 inches. Here is a pic of how long the bracelet is sized for my wrist. You guys think it'd look good on this watch, and is it size able down to my girth? Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You can get the 20mm shark mesh from O. Frei. Not sure how it will look, as they are straight end pieces and are rather heavy duty. They run small, and may work with a 6" wrist. You can also cut a row of links out.

I don't think the mesh will work with the AT but it's only based on my personal taste. In my opinion as it's made for a dive watch, it will look out of place with a dressier option.
My wrist is 6.5" and it fitted comfortably on my wrist. |

Is there room to make it smaller and if so would the clasp be centered? This is my inspiration, what do you honestly think? 2254 looks amazing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Not sure about fit for your wrist. Personally not a huge mesh fan, and even less on a AT.

The look isn't working for me. What about a nice leather band?

Perhaps a beads of rice would look better....often used on dress style watches and would tie in some of the vintage heritage and have a somewhat similar (but more appropriate) look
