So, been chatting with [mention]mech500 [/mention]we both agreed many people will buy the Gen on NATO and save the £1000 on titanium mesh. They will also buy non branded mesh to wear their NTTD on. So I wouldn’t worry too much about the mesh. What I’ve also been reading on the omega forum, is due to the holes in the Gen mesh people’s wrist fit can be between holes, that would be annoying.
Over on RWG a member mentioned to me that cheap watch brands already make titanium mesh’s most likely in China, so in theory it’s shouldn’t be a big ask of VSF to get whoever is manufacturing their mesh to do a titanium one. Whether they will or not is another thing.

no I live in California, Under normal circumstances his shipping is fast, Of course thanks to the Damn Virus it will probably be longer.....I have been waiting for a package from Lithuania now for three weeks
I was amazed to see the genuine mesh was designed with holes, To me a compression type fitting with unlimited adjustability would of been far better

That's what happens when you let Bond design a watch :facepalm:

Its where the rep gets a plus for me. No doubt the clasp is inaccurate, but it actually does its job well and no matter your wrist size, you can get the perfect fit you desire. No in betweens.

Is the clasp removable? I've seen these bracelets for dirt cheap on ebay, there is one that is labeled as "titanium" which is probably just a coating of sorts. I'm thinking of ordering one swapping out the clasp from the V2 on the mesh bracelet and putting it on the "titanium" one. See if there's a difference

I believe so. Its being held by thin springbars as you can see. But unless that ebay mesh has the holes for the springbars on the mesh like the vsf one, I don't think it'll work. Worth a try. But seriously, there is nothing wrong with the rep mesh other than the fact that it's not titanium. Not sure if it's worth all that effort tbh.

Meh it wouldn't really be a pain and I have other watches it could fit. Do you have a caliper? What's the thickness in mm of your bracelet?

Sorry misread your question. No idea about the thickness, width should be 20mm to fit the wach.

Awesome. I look forward to seeing the result. The mesh thickness is around 3mm.

What's the NATO like on the rep? Looks good but previous Bond ones were pretty harsh in feel despite looking good.
Does it feel fairly like a gen?

On the photo’s the grey looks more silver on the rep and the stitching is terrible. The VSF Spectre NATO has the same colour and stitching problems.

When compared to my gen Omega nato strap, it has the same feel of smooth seatbelt finish on it, but felt rather stiff. The gen is definitely softer and wraps around the wrist easier. It's not bad tbh. Just needs to be softer.

I know exactly what you mean. I have had the rep nato and have a gen 20mm Bond nato and the stiffness of the rep was significant. Plus I am not keen on those beige stripes they have put on the nttd rep anyway so if I get one of these I’ll probably wear it on the gen nato for those reasons. I’m thinking It would look good on the novonappa leather nato too.
