24mm will physically fit, but will leave a gap between the case and bracelet.

You really like a bracelet with that many holes for dirt to accumulate? :poke: :wink:


Haha, are you serious about the dirt build up or taking the piss cz im a clean freak ?

Well I was pulling your leg, hence the :poke: , but I also think that a mesh is likely to accumulate more grime than a regular bracelet. Straps will also be harder to keep clean as they are less impervious than a metal bracelet.

Don't love it to death. If I play tennis with a watch I'll give a little gentle rinse under the tap and dry it with a towel. Every once in a long while I'll use just one little drop of liquid soap (well diluted on my fingers) if the watch feels like it's a bit "filmy".

I just wash it from time to time with tap water. Once a week I will use soap to give it a deeper cleaning. I do wipe the crystal everyday though.
