Post subject:  Airwolf suggestions

I really fancy something different for my Airwolf.

The polished bracelet was taken off as soon as I brought the watch home, worried that it would scratch as soon as I'd look at it..... (yeah I know :roll: ) and put a Pro rubber strap that I had laying around, as you do. I've also got a black calf leather with white stitching that its been on lately but I fancy a change.
I did order a heavy duty mesh from Tunchoy but it got lost in the post and was never delivered :evil: and I attempted to fit a GGB Bremont Velcro but the case is to high.
So, any suggestions?

I guess it really depends what look you are going for. If you want exotic leather then you could have something custom made by ABP-Paris.

In terms of bracelets, then the only type you would probably find to fit very well would be an aftermarket mesh. There's a guy on eBay (something 'Jean', if I remember...) who sells pretty decent quality Omega-style mesh for decent prices.

If you want a diver's style rubber strap, then a genuine ISOFrane is hard to beat (although personally I think they look best on dive watches).

But TBH I always think Breitlings look best on OEM straps/bracelets.

I took my Wolf bracelet off as soon as I got mine. Hairy arms and bracelets don't mix well and always cause (me) pain!

I put an OEM Croc and deployant on instead 8)

Thanks, Wjean is the fella but I preferred the look of the Tungchoy retro mesh & the polished deployment looked cooler... I'm tempted to order another one from them & hope the I have better luck with delivery. (A refund was issued without any hassle)
The polished bracelets looks pretty good to although I've not seen one in the flesh.

That a my first choice Airwolf John but the sunburst dial played tricks on my poor old eyes and I struggled to see the hands with that dial.


Does anyone have a pic of an Airwolf on a mesh?
