A wjean mesh bracelet from eBay. Freakn' thing is damn sturdy. Not sure I'll do this again. You don't want to cut off too much as there's no going back so it's a lot of trial and error. I do like the results though.

Looks nice!

Very nice. Looks OEM.

Don't have a clue what the before looked like or what you were trying to accomplish but I think it looks nice.

I like the plongeur hands as well. What kind of watch is that?

i also was wondering what or why you were cutting - normally these bracelets are short anyway -certainly the Omega bracelets are , and generally need an extension for most reasonably sized wrists

Stellar job, the mesh looks great on the watch.

I was cutting the mesh bracelet with a dremel tool. It was about 3" too long. Had to use a cutting disc to slice through each section of the links as I trimmed a row at a time. This watch used to have a leather strap. I don't think I'd do this again. Too much work.

It's an older Android Skyguardian with a nicely decorated Sea-Gull movement.

3 inches !! thats an extraordinary amount of superfluous steel for any normal bracelet!! forgive me but you seem to have a fairly large wrist already - was the original bracelet tailored for a giant;-)

Lol, yeah it was. Would have fit a 10.25" wrist!

A row at a time? Wasn't it possible to just cut it across the links that would make it fit?

This is interesting. I passed on one of his mesh bracelets because I thought it would only fit an 8" wrist. Can I ask which of his models you bought? This is exactly the kind I'm looking for-the adjustable ones taper and I don't care for the look.
Also I love the SkyGuardian. It's one of my favorite Androids. Congrats on the combo!

Nice job. I have a mesh with finished ends and cut the clasp end on one side. But the unfinished end lug straps are for hidden lug watches and I hate seeing the springbars. The other day I had an idea maybe you might try and I'd change my mind.

I was doing a project and remembered I had black plastic shrink tubing for electrical work. The thinnest just might slide right on and be fine. Or a size up would need to be heated to fit. But That just might be a good look.

Looks worth the effort.

I started off taking three rows at a time from each side and I slowed to one row at a time as the fit got tighter.

That's a great idea.

I can imagine the concentration, patience, and steady hand it took to work at for an hour. Really well done. I love great DIY projects like this. Thanks for sharing! :-!

Nice job on the bracelet, and good looking watch, too!
