Definitive Omega mesh measurements
I am frequently asked "Will the Omega mesh fit my _____ inch/cm wrist?"

The new flagship store in NYC. And a question...

Even though this is a sub category in a Rolex forum, I personally prefer this network and the people much more than the Paneristi and watchuseek forums. shhh don't tell them that I've own the watch for a while and have had various other watches, Rolex Date-just, Tag Heuer, Tourneau, and some beaters.
