I have nothing to do so i decided to do a close inspection of my classic ocean mesh bracelet, i remove it from my superocean heritage 46. After that i hold it vertically and realised that it isn't straight, look at the picture below, is this normal ? I didn't do anything to it. From the picture, you can see that it's slanting a bit. If there's a problem here, how do i get it fixed ?

Do you have a mesh bracelet yourself ? I would want answers form mesh owners !!! I think it might be normal as this flexible mesh bands over your wrist... i don't know. This is a authentic mesh sold to me from a previous owner so i doubt i can change a new one.

Thanks but the reply but anymore suggestions ? Trust me brother, if you hold my bracelet in the same way i did in the picture, you will ascertain that the mesh is slightly slanting.

Isn't that just the off-centered weight of the open deployant with gravity making the mesh curve?

What happens if you hold it by the deployant and let it dangle? (Hence making the weight on the end less of an issue)

Really hard to tell what is going on in that picture, looks fine to me. It's mesh and not an I beam. Bracelets by nature wear in.

My suggestion is to put it back on the watch and forget about it. Your wrist is not straight, and bracelets wear and slightly stretch over time.

Yes i think my wrist is not straight, i realised that my watch will slant a little after walking for some distance, of course i can re adjust it to make the watch looks straight but the mesh bracelet is smooth, it has the tendency to slide back to the original position. Is my wrist normal ?

I don't think there's a problem. Mesh, by it's very nature, is extremely flexible, and in more than one plain, so I think you can expect some play and slight twist in the structure. Essentially it's like metal fabric, and you wouldn't expect a fabric strap to lay perfectly flat.

My advice would be just wear it and enjoy it.

I was just asking for opinion, i think it is normal and it might has to do with my big bone structure.
