Hi guy's

I was kinda thinking, Hmmmm I wonder if the mesh from my SuperOcean Heri MIGHT fit my Navitimer World.....

So I tried, it does, and I think it looks great!

It's certainly a comfortable combination to wear.

But do you think it works!

Answers on a postcard please..........

Not a big fan of the Breitling mesh bracelet but it does work well on that watch. Nice photos!!! Some of the best photos of the silver dial world that I've seen.

Are you two still mad with each other?

Me and Serge have kinda made up, we had a nice online chat some time ago!

Time is a great healer.......seems kinda appropriate.

That's my whole point, the mesh is certainly not everybody's cup of tea. Especially with some members here. I was not sure myself but now I really enjoy them.

Thanks for the comments on the photo's, its a very easy watch to take pictures of.

Davey, men can make up and move on. But there is no sense in talking with a five year old...I think he's playing hide n' go seek anyway.

Would love to know how you take such great photos. Back on topic tho, I always thought the silver world would look awesome on a bentley bracelet...but then again it would look great on just about anything.

Edit...Davey I have to admit that our original spat was entirely my fault. At the time I had no clue that Breitlings in Europe were so much more expensive than here in the states. I didn't realize that us folks in the states receive higher discounts than the rest of the world.

You are the one that calls me "countDICKula/countDICKHEADula" and I'm acting like a child?
BTW, I didn't want to type, that's why a copied your post.
I love mesh bracelets, and I do think they are excellent pics.

Well Davey I like the mesh bracelet but I'm a bigger fan of the navvi bracelet. I kinda like that combo but don't think It would be for me.

I have to agree with Mfserge tho, some of the best shots the the 'world' I've seen to!

Cheers

First off, great photos! My opinion of this is I think it's a different look...not quite sure if it for the better though. I think the combo kinda contradicts itself. :roll:

I'm another that thinks the combination really works well, being also not a fan of the mesh bracelet.

I also heartily agree with the comments above regarding the quality of your photos Davey, just stunning! Some of the best pics I've seen of the silver dialed world.

Wow, I didn't think I'd like it on the World, but that works really well!

Someone (it might have been Serge) recently said that the World looks a bit too flashy or "blingy." The case and the bracelet are huge, and I understand how that can look like an awful lot of shiny stainless steel to some people. I think the mesh bracelet helps to take away some of the flashiness that some dislike.

Oh, and of course, great pics!
