    Does Anyone Make a 22/22mm Straight Shark Mesh Extension?

    Just got my new DS-3 and want to put my 22mm shark mesh on it, but it's just a little tight on the last micro adjustment hole. Does anyone make an entension or an entender for a 22mm non-tapered shark mesh bracelet? I see the Omega ones all over the place, but the Omega meshes all taper to 20mm so the extension for an Omega 24mm, 22mm or 20mm are all 20mm wide. Mine is 22mm at the clasp. Help!
    Best regards,

    Dan

    Does your mesh bracelet have mesh links that can be added or removed?

    Nope. I had one of those and hated the fact the the links at the end were welded to grind fit them into the "I" shaped extension links. I also had bent and stripped screw issues with them. Had to return 2 of them to Tungchoy. I have this one....

    Ah, if you had the one with links, I would have just given you one of my extra links. Sorry I can't help you out with a resolution for the one you have.

    Are you happy with this one ?
    I'm trying to decide between the one you show and the Strapcode version pictured directly below,

    This may not help but if you can find something like this Boschett ratcheting clasp you can add enough length to the mesh and still have extra adjustment in the ratchet

    I'm thinking that Boschett clasp is too narrow but I could be wrong. Does the bracelet in you pics narrow toward the clasp or is it a straight? Some 24mm and 22mm meshes narrow to 20mm at the clasp like the Omegas. Some, like the Tungchoy's like I have, do not. Though, headed in that same direction, I was thinking about one of those big Sinn clasps. I believe they are 22mm on the inside and would give me a bit more length. Just kinda concerned about how it would look (huge matte clasp on a 4mm thick shiny mesh)??? I guess I could brush or polish it.
    Best regards,

    I didn't like my mesh with the "links" at all. The ends of the mesh are welded so they can grind some off the corners to fit inside the "I" links, kind of like those welded chain mailbox posts you see sometimes when your out for a sunday drive :) The screws are also a pain. Mine had a bent one and a stripped one when it arrived at my door so I returned it. Just my 2 cents....

    The clasp is 22mm and the mesh is 24, I just clipped the links to fit the clasp.

    Anyone know where I can get a Boschett clasp? Apparently Boschett doesn't sell them anymore.
