Added this bracelet to my 50 year-old Zodiac and it gave it a new life! The size of the links, the clean lines and the finish all made this diver a showpiece again. The drape of the band is very important for large and heavy watches such as this and this band holds the watch securely in place without pinching. As a regular customer, I have been very pleased doing business with StrapsCo.

Update: The band was too loose. I have a 6.5 inch/165 mm wrist. I bought the 165 mm length band for a watch with a 48 mm lug-to-lug distance. I set the band on the shortest of the three micro-adjustment positions. I cut off four rows of links (two rows at each end) using a dremel tool. The band now fits just fine.

First off—it’s a $30 strap with the specs I bought. Let’s take that into account with all these reviews expecting it to be comparable to something that costs multiple hundreds.

Is it good, durable, comfortable, and attractive? Absolutely.

Is it immaculate jewelry? Of course not. It cost $30.

I’ve put mine on a ‘39 Omega Suverän and I’m convinced it’s made the watch infinitely more attractive. Sure, it’s a little loose—but Esquire and GQ recently pointed out that lots of celebrities/notable watch sporters are embracing exactly that as the current style here in 2023.

All that said, 5 stars. As soon as I have another watch that needs another mesh bracelet, I’ll order another and be just as happy when someone compliments my $30 bracelet.

The clasp – While the main clasp fastens securely, the fold-over security tab doesn’t close properly, and hangs upwards about 2mm. The actual holes in the side of the tab are drilled in the wrong spot (about 0.5mm off from where they should be).

The bracelet – I have a small wrist (6.25″), so I knew I’d need to take links out. And I tried. And then I bought specialized cutting pliers (2 different pairs) in an attempt to cut links. The cutting pliers cannot exert enough force to cut the links, but will bend the links very easily. Basically, despite my best efforts, the bracelet isn’t any shorter, and isn’t in a state that I can return it.

I’d highly recommend staying away from this watch strap, and going with one of the other alternatives on this website. If it wasn’t for the “buy 2, get 1 free”, where I happen to be VERY happy with my other two straps, I’d probably be more upset than I am.

Very happy with this bracelet! Had to remove several rows with a dremel and pliers. No sharp edges, very comfortable.Can’t beat it for the money.

Had this on a Casio edifice looks amazing stands out from the crowd. OK had to cut a few rows out but that wasn’t much of an issue when I got the right tool. Only reason for 4 stars is the lock mechanism needed adjusting to make it work but that can be done by hand by bending it slightly.

Unfortunately, it was way too big. I needed a heavy-duty steel wire cutter to remove the extra links (about 1 inch +). Other wise, it’s real nice and a good value.

I bought it for a Mondaine watch. As others have commented, I wouldn’t recommend this strap for somebody with a thin wrist. I have had to cut three link lines to make it fit to mine

At the cost – a nice strap! – I cut the superflous links with a plier (as I did when fitting the same kind
of shark strap for an Omega Seamaster 600 I had), in this instance, the steel strap are worn with my
Breitling Colt Chronograph, which works good. (Considering switching to the matte black edition)……
