Thanks for the compliments guys ...it's certainly an attention grabber.
One interesting thing I found with the shark mesh bracelet is that (because the links are bigger) it is far more flexible than the thicker version of the standard (smaller link) mesh bracelet which has a "tighter" weave. The upshot is that the shark mesh conforms quite readily to the (oval) shape of your wrist whereas the smaller link mesh, if it's thick (say 4mm) will just not do that and tends to form a circular shape around your wrist because of its lack of flexibility. For anyone that buys a tighter weave mesh bracelet, I'd suggest that, if you want flexibility so that the bracelet conforms comfortably to your wrist, thinner is better. For anyone that's thinking of trying a shark mesh bracelet in lieu of a rubber strap, I found the shark mesh far more comfortable to wear.
