    (Video) Aquadive BS 100 on OEM mesh. Updated with Omega mesh

    I wanted this to look like an old homemade movie. Ah, well..

    Starring:

    ..The BS100 from Aquadive
    ..The OEM mesh bracelet
    and..
    ..My morning cup of Lavazza.



    And the Omega 22mm sharky from watchco

    I think the video looks freaking great and the watch isn't to shabby either. Thank you for posting. I love this stuff...

    Well done and like I thought, it brings back the memories of all the dive watches of the 70's that were produced with mesh bracelets that are still around and coveted by collectors like myself like this mesh will be as well. Enjoy.

    My point exactly, I guess this watch was meant to be on a mesh. I'll post a new vid with a "real" Omega '70 shark mesh I just bought from Watchco.
    Btw, I was born in 1970 when this watch case was designed. I feel like I am wearing my father's (possible) grail watch :) but in an actual modern configuration.

    I started this strange and expensive hobby of collecting expensive hobby when I retired 15 years ago and in that time I acquired and sold hundreds of watches and quite a few mesh bracelets and the first I acquired was a vintage Omega mesh which accompanied my SHOM and the ploprof 600 and they look good on the watches. However, after seeing the OEM Aquadive mesh on the BS 100, it looks great and completely finished, especially with the fitted enlinks.

    Both movies look great and kudos to you for taking the time.

    Great videos, thanks for creating and posting them. The watch looks fantastic on mesh. As nice as the OEM is, that Omega bracelet looks perfect to me.

    Thanks.

    Today at a meating the guy next to me says: "-Nice Seamaster, buddy!".
    "-Uuh..is not a Seamaster.."
    "-Really?! But is an Omega, isn't it?" says he, staring at my hand...
    "-The mesh is an Omega, yea. But the watch is Aquadive."
    "-Oh, I thought is a 2 grands watch!".. And the guy smiled, you know that smile..
    I had like an uppercut in my stomach, but I took my poker face and said: "-Yes, it is a 2 grands watch. You know about watches, man!" laying my hand on his shoulder with ease...then I turned around keeping an eye on him.

    Can't tell you how quickly he turned on his sh* ipad googling "aquadive", etc. A few moments later he turned his eyes and fixed me, you should see his face when he realized that he actually was right.

    (The rest of the meating time, this guy continued to stare at my hand...)
