Please let me know if this is the correct way of resting classic ocean mesh bracelet, the mesh will bend slightly when resting in this position, don't want to damage the mesh.

Is this a joke? It's metal...it's not that delicate that it matters what position you lay the watch in at rest. If you are that worried about keeping it perfect, put the watch back into the box with the box pillow, and just open the box whenever you want to look at the watch for the time and never wear it. Lol. It's just a watch man...don't need to treat it like it's a delicate piece of art. The band is not going to get damaged by you laying it down in a certain position.

If you look at CivilLawyer's other threads I highly doubt that this is a joke.

It will be fine this way.

Buy one large down pillow. Cut pillow open with sharp knife in one motion. Spread down liberally on surface on which you intend to properly rest the mesh bracelet. While holding the watch/bracelet in your left hand, stand on your left leg only, cover your left eye with your right hand. Spit liberally towards the east. Switch to standing on your right leg only, remove right hand from your left eye and and switch watch/bracelet to right hand. Cover right eye with left hand. Spit liberally to the west. Remove left hand from right eye. Carefully place watch/bracelet on the down feathers.

That's how most of us do it.

I would also recommend some sort of suspension device (with emergency alarm) to take some of the weight. Heavy duty elastics (doubled or tripled) on a bolted down tripod may work.

You guys are hilarious. :mrgreen:

Btw, if the mesh bracelet gets wet, should he air dry it or take a hair dryer to it to prevent corrosion? How bout adding baby powder to aid the drying? :)

lol... civil you did walk right into this one.

But to try and give you a serious answer... why not just rest it on the watch pillow or stand it would have come on in the box? I keep my watches on their tiny pillows in their retail boxes. Since you are concerned about the slight bend in your mesh bracelet, I'd suggest keep it on the pillow rather than on the side like that, as might make a tiny bit more bend in the mesh there.

Of course if you want to be really OCD then take the mesh off the watch and rest it by hanging it up :-P

Civil, kudos to you for being able to take a joke. Enjoy the watch without worrying so much.
