What do you guys think? This may arrive on my doorstep tomorrow.

It looks better than the mesh in my opinion. Are there any Navi bracelets with the straight end links that would work? I'd lean towards one of those if that was an option.

I have the navi bracelet set aside for the blue sky. And I really like the 5 row chronomat bracelets.

I agree, maybe it's just the rendering, but the bracelet looks a little heavy and the smaller links of the Navi might work better. Can't think of any straight ends off the top of my head though.

My AD doesn't have a future in photography.

That looks better than the rendering, it doesn't seem so heavy.

Much better than the mesh. Actually pretty good looking!

Yes, the one they put on the Chronomatic 44. Last time I checked my AD had one in stock and I commented they could use that to sell a TO when the customer is about to walk away. They have told me the mesh has cost them several sales on the TO. I was also told Breitling was introducing a new bracelet for the TO.

I think the pilot bracelet looks good on it but would need to see the drape in person.

I think that looks great and a standard option like that might open up the TO to a much larger audience

there is no doubt! Talk to a candid AD and they will tell you most Breitling Buyers want a real bracelet option and the mesh in the TO is costing sales. At least that is what I have been told. I think the Chronomat 01 bracelet is a perfect solution.

I thought there was talk about offering the pro 3 bracelet for the Transocean but I don't think that's an option on Breitling's website.

I like it a lot. I hate the mesh.

Looks great to me too. The only thing I'd like to see more closely is the gap between the end-links and the case... but amusing it's not too bad, then it's a massive improvement over the mesh. As I've said the Omega Ploprof mesh is the only one I personally like.

I think the links look slightly chunky for the toc's thin bezel. Perhaps as suggested above, try something a little finer if possible. But if you like it thats all that matters, and make sure to post some live pics on landing!

As an observer i was doubtful about the mesh at first but after trying on the toc it all made sense. As an owner i think its one of the coolest parts of the watch, but it does limit wearing to business/formal. Everyone who notices the watch comments how well the mesh compliments the watch. Maybe theyre just being nice?! Not sure after reading this thread!

Interesting that you say this. In my mind its exactly the opposite. When I see a mesh bracelet, I think of some kind of scuba diving expedition.
