Speedmaster on Mesh - Thoughts?

I wanted to change things up from the OEM Speedmaster bracelet so I tried on a Staib mesh bracelet from a diver that I recently sold. I think I like it, but my girlfriend isn't convinced.

What do you all think?

JB Champion Mesh was good enough for Astronauts. Diving / Shark Mesh, not so much on a Speedmaster due to the non taper IMO.

I like the vintage looking JB Champion mesh bracelets, especially when combined with the metal clip on calendars. Now that is a vintage cool combo that I could support 100%. I like yours too and think the Speedy looks good on most anything. When I think mesh, my mind doesn't instantly go diver like a lot of people are stating.

A fine Milanese mesh works well with the vintage look of the watch. I had mine on a Vollmer mesh all summer and got a lot of compliments from fellow watch-nerds at work. Don't have a pic handy. I don't think a thicker shark mesh works for the Speedy.
