Real men...

don't wear mesh.


I just completed a very successful trade with Mark.

(he is a real pleasure to deal with )


I was looking for something different and traded my DeBaufre Pepsi GMT for his Seiko orange Sumo (with a sapphire crystal).

This is my 4th Sumo, I've already had the black and the blue (twice).

Only "problem" is that it came on a mesh bracelet (Mark's pictures below)







Nothing wrong with the mesh, just have never been able to wear it.


Now the hunt begins for options to the mesh (it also came with a both a black and an orange nato).


I am looking for something "different".

(there is where Chris would say, get over it and put it on a black Isofrane or Gnomon black zulu and end of story)


I may get a Yobokies anvil bracelet (will have to decide on either a 20mm or 20mm bracelet) with the fitted end-links.

I didn't like the OEM bracelet better than the anvil, which I have had previously.




I currently have it on a gray/green nato just to tick everyone off while I decide what to do for real.

Love the orange, congrats!

Some men do wear mesh - Remember that video of Wu in a mesh T-shirt, singing "I'm too sexy...." ???

Terry's got some mesh panties too (so I hear)

That would probably look really good on a BOR bracelet. I think they're making them with fitted end links for the Sumo now.

Edit: here's a pic (not mine). Harold sells them

Looks good on the Nato Matt...

I like that!

From one Matt to another, thanks.

This guy notched a strap for ss end links. Pretty cool, IMO

I predict a pic of a dude wearing some sort of mesh underwear will show up in this thread

Probably, but the dude won't be me.

That BOR does look good. I approve that bracelet Matt.

I like the Sumo bracelet on the MM300 clasp. Clean.

The Strap Master approves!

BOR FTW

[mattcantwin]

By the way, the Doxa orange is still #1 in my book.

I would go with this bracelet that don't look bad

Just ordered the BoR bracelet, Matt, thanks again.


I asked Harold which size he likes better for the Sumo (the one pictured is 20mm) and he said the 22mm.

I took his advice and ordered the 22mm version.


I am still going to look for some different (other than black) natos to try, too.

[mattcantwin]

Here is a shot of the links from Harold's post at WUS, looks very sharp.

(this bracelet has the straight ends)




If anyone is interested, here is his post.

^^^THIS. Been there, done that. Got the t-shirt (no really, a Seiko Prospex t-shirt). Best combo out there, following only remotely by the BOR bracelet. And I dig mesh but I would take the Sumo on MM clasp every day. Kinda wish I still had that watch frankly.

[drster]

I think the mesh looks OK. I like the BOR. I like nato. Probably some leather too. On MM clasp. Lots to choose from.

[toxicavenger]

so you traded a Debaufre for this???? is Mark drinking again???

Probably drinking quite well...

[el presidente]

Looks great on the BOR Matt

btw, why are you up now!?


ps; Oh, i forgot...old people do that

[snootydog]

^ Yeah,but he is French.......Ooops,did i say that out loud
Gotta get me a Sumo some day,always fancied the blue.
It looks just about perfect on Harolds BoR

[CesarG]

What matt meant to say was that real seikos don't belong on mesh. Or anything swiss.
