Interesting choice.
I'm not sure that it works though - it might be a bit too fussy. Perhaps thats because an oyster bracelet or strap is most associated with the Explorer.
Thanks it was bought for my skx007 and the Everest was closer to hand so just tried it, it was on previous https://flic.kr/p/21V3LGuQuote:

Thanks keep the opinions coming that’s why I asked, so I can learn
I quite like it but I am a fan of a shark mesh bracelet so it's a Yeah from me.
I like a mesh too, but they work best on divers. That's maybe just my own personal rule. :eagerness:Quote:

This. Mesh is quite out of place on this style of watch.Quote:

“It looks a bit busy” is fine, but I’m interested in a more detailed analysis.
Mesh = large vintage diver.
Oyster = Explorer.
IMHO
I think that the classic Explorer design is simple and straightforward. The relative simplicity of an Oyster bracelet or plain strap compliments it well, to an extent blending into the background and letting the watch stand out. A mesh bracelet with its many point of reflection and construction of numerous small parts can to some degree act as a distraction to the watch itself in my view.
The OP's picture:
I contend there isn't a strap the Everest doesn't look great on, and this hasn't changed my opinion. :eagerness:
https://flic.kr/p/HC5mff you can all sleep easy now back on a leather and I have to agree I like it a lot more
Everest on a Brady Sailcloth for me. I don't really like this watch on its bracelet.

Bang on target there. Lovely combination.Quote:
