What do you guys think about this milanese strap? Waiting for a rubber strap to come in and putting this on in the meantime. I’m having a hard time deciding if this is dressier or not vs the original. (more pics in thread.)

Personally not a fan of Milanese strap, just looks off. Maybe it’s the variation in thickness?

This is the thinner version of the two versions. Wanted to try this one first before I got the thicker one. I’ll wear it around for a couple of days and see how it feels.

I like that better than the og bracelet, but I’ve never been a big fan of it. The watch itself is forever a classic tho!

I like Milanese straps but not with this watch. And to answer your question, it is less dressy than the original

I rather like the Milanese with this watch. They both look good though

I think that mesh would work but I’d go with something a little more substantial. Little pricier, but I believe Staib is the company that makes mesh bracelets for Breitling. I have one (a Staib, not a Breitling) and it’s very very high quality, particularly the clasp.

I have this watch as well. I honestly love the original bracelet. I’ve bought a couple other natos from omega but I always go back.

You get slightly beefier mesh straps if that helps proportionately

Prefer the original, the proportions seem better

Meh - not a fan of the Milanese here, have you tried a canvas NATO? Otherwise, I’m partial to the original, but it’s your watch and your wrist, rock what feels best!

Appreciate all the feedback!

I am new to luxury watches and plan is to

1) buy 1 watch that is under 500$ to start with. If I enjoy wearing it and having it.

2) buy Omega under 4-5K, 1 year later if the first watch gives me joy and pride.

Want to know what should I start with for step 1 above? Is Tissot V8 Swissmatic a good watch for starters?(240$ on Amazon). Looking for preferably automatic ones.
