I figured this place was the best to ask...how do you adjust size on the mesh bracelet? Is it like the leather band on the Tag Monaco?

Now that I've become an EXPERT, thanks to the instructions given by the Dean of our School of Sharks (Well, O.'s got my nomination or vote anyways)...LOL......(Sorry inside joke).

Two screw drivers is all it takes.

I gotta add, don’t you love it when the new guy who just learned how to change a set of spark plugs and now thinks he‘s a mechanic…LOL To good times and having some fun. Oh and Not Scratching the Case...LOL

So do you have to move the clasp, or does part of the mesh come off?

The mesh bracelet consist of :
a/ two fixed lenght mesh elements (left + right)
b/ stainless steel strap elements (5)
c/ adjustable buckle

And a/ is fixed to the watch with screwed lugs, this can then be extended using b/ which are used to adjust the strap lenghth. Each additional element provides approx 5mm of extra length. In addition you can adjust the buckle c/ as there are 5 predefined slots (holes) where you can attach the strap (providing up to another 12mm lenght).

If you use all additional elements your strap you will see approx 2.5 cm of non mesh (yet steel) strap next to the buckle (below your wrist).

Considering the way mesh straps are built I do not think there is any 100% mesh adjustable strap.

Its my understanding that the Helson Shark Diver only comes with the mesh bracelet. Are there any others that this model ships with in the package? I would love a rubber to go with it. Does it ship with a strap changing tool? Just curious. I really am loving the few models from Helson I have seen....very impressive.
