Hi,
From what I can remember, my initial reaction to mesh was quite negative. I remember that I used to associate it with these (ugly) old ~70's watches that are far from my own taste. However, while looking for metallic alternatives to leather for the hot summer months... these things have been growing on me
I cannot say that I have heart set on a polished Staib mesh, but considering both its price and the great reviews of its quality, it does seem like a tempting alternative!
Anyway, I would love some inspirational images and feedback! I am still quite undecided on:
1... The finish: is the polished mesh too shiny? Is the matte version too boring when combined with a polished case?
2... My wrist is quite small, just under 7 inches. I guess I would have to go with the 130-150mm version, but I also do not like the idea having all those extra non-mesh links on there! Which probably would be the case if I get the smaller version. On the other hand, a large downsized to 150mm from 170mm, could be to big.
3... Mesh type: 2.7mm, 3.5mm or 4.5mm thick. Real-world images would help a great deal here!
