In less than an hour...

I am going to get the mesh bracelet on this fabulous watch . I called the local AD the other day who said the watches and bracelets / straps are shipped separately and they had one with the bracelet. Whether that is correct information, I don't know. However, she said they would take the bracelet off the watch they have, sell it to me, and put it on my watch.

I'm good with that

For the sake of posterity, here is what mine looks like now!





Clean as a whistle and no scratches! The AD said they can swap the bracelet for the strap. I don't want any scratches when they are done!

It's like a different watch...

I really love the bracelet. They installed it (doesn't look like an easy task) and sized it. All is great thus far!

Love the mesh. Whenever I get a Navi on strap, I would also like to buy a mesh bracelet. Congrats and enjoy!

I would like to hear how it goes considering the hair on your wrist. I tried the mesh on at the AD and I was conserned about it pulling at the hair. Almost all my watches are leather, rubber or cloth straps because of hair pulling.

I have not experienced any hair pulling. The mesh is very comfortable - probably because the parts are so close together. The switch from a leather strap was the right thing to do!
