Has anyone tried or even seen the mesh bracelet from a 46mm SO Heritage on a Navi World.....Just wondering what it would look like?....

anyone good with photoshop?

I know it seems wierd but Since I'm keeping my navi-world for now, thought it might like a wee change....


ps, I've emailed the whitehouse to see if obama wants to join the coral club but I'm not holding my breath for a reply! :lol:

I did one of these a little while back actually John for the LE discussions in my "flight of whimsey" thread -

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4947&p=39464&hilit=whimsey#p39464

(I removed the GMT hand as I was attempting to do a 125 anniversary version, but it's still a World case).

you used to be able to get mesh for an 806 and thats looks great so makes sense a world would look good as evidenced by drivers pics

That was why I mocked it up actually - thought it was in keeping with the whole anniversary thing. I reckon it looks better on the World than on the models it's designed for personally speaking!

It feels way better than it looks, there are a lot of cheap and nasty mesh iterations out there but the breitling one is superb in every way...however, if the look doesn't float your boat it doesn't matter how good it is!

seriously considering buying a mesh now!

While I generally do not like the mesh, personal taste, it looks really good here.
If you go for it DD I would love to see some pics!!! :lingsrock:

I agree. I've never been a fan of the mesh on any of the current models, but I think the retro look really suits the Navi case.

By the way DD, I should just warn you that even though it's 24mm wide with "straight cut" endlinks (and looks great in the Photoshop pics), there's no absolute guarantee that it'll fit the World perfectly in real life. It should be OK, but I'd suggest getting your AD to order one for you under the agreement that if it doesn't fit you aren't obligated to buy it.

(Just my little disclaimer there! :wink: )

I guess I can't say I hate it as I haven't tried one on, but it just doesn't speak to me... the Pro II, Pilot, Navitimer and Speed just look fantastic!
