I would have to agree, but it was certainly worth a try, sorry

endlinks look a little off... but I prefer it over the mesh as well!

Right.. Nothing wrong with experimentation.

Not a big fan of much of the new Breitling models but I have to say, that one looks WAY better than a Rolex Sub. I cannot stand how boring and bland the sub looks. Don't know why everybody loves the sub so much.

Thanks for sharing. You have shown us that it is possible and it looks pretty good overall. :D

Its a matter of comforbility over the end link design I think (or so it would seem from other members here). I tend to agree, but the link design throughout the band took my attention as well. It would seem a little too rounded on the link arrises for a match on the watch design. Whats it like close up? Does it notice as much when viewed against the case edge detailing? :strummin:

I think mesh bands tend to suit as they are square edged (even though they are flat). Even the PU versions are square edged and I think thats deliberate on this watch. A squarer edged design might look more resolved.

Looks great, except the end links sticking up

:yeahthat Might be nice with the right end links. But i'm a fan of the mesh. I still think it's the best choice for this watch.

I am actually very interested in doing something like this. I'm not crazy about the mesh bracelet.

Can we see a few more pics?

Doesn't work for me, sorry. If you don't like the mesh, I'm wondering how it'd look like with the air race strap on?

Why don't you give a try with the (relatively expensive) Pilot bracelet that comes with the newest Chronomats with matching width? I'd prefer that one to the ProIII. Me thinks that your AD might also give a hand. Plz post scans if you succeed!
Best,
Robert
