Staib 2906 SOC Black Mesh 20mm
It feels to me well made and of high quality. This specific strap is not "infinitely adjustable," as described in the specs, but it worked out, having several adjustment positions. It is perfectly comfortable; 6" wrist, 47mm lug to lug.
It took me forever to adjust for length as I was pressing the fastener onto the general area of the strap. There are about 10 indent positions on the strap where the fastener will clasp onto, and I only noticed them after watching a detailed video online.
Even with the excess length for my wrist, the strap feels good on; it fits perfectly. And after all the force of pressing the clasp on the wrong area, there are no marks on the strap whatsoever. Selected it for a Duxot Henri Diver. I had thought that a mesh strap would appear too dressy for a diver, but then read that Milanese straps have been standard on divers for several decades, so I chose this Staib. The watch has a really pretty dial and the strap complements it. They look beautiful together.
The Staib mesh strap has a heavy, silky quality. Excellent quality and price. Paired with my Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer, it is a look of jewelry. There is a learning curve to put band on and lock it, important to see how it works. Definitely thinking of getting one for another watch.

Qualität und Preis sind top....
Exactly what I was looking for! High quality and it looks great with my watch.
I ordered a 20mm fine mesh stainless steel Staib Milanese bracelet (ref. 2905) from Holben and I could not be more pleased. Fine mesh is hard to find these days, as most modern Milanese bracelets -- regardless of price-- are a thick and industrial looking, not refined like this one. It looks great on my both 1966 IWC Yacht Club and my Universal Geneve White Shadow c-case of the same era. I wish this model also came in larger (22mm) lug widths.
I was on the fence about wearing a mesh bracelet, but I ended up liking it! This bracelet appears to be of good quality and I would consider this to be a good value proposition.
I really like the look and feel of this band. It looks more premium than the price would suggest! It has been my daily driver band since I got it.
However, one word of warning: the connector was a smidge too wide for my 18mm watch and I had to file it down to get it to fit. This could be a specific issue with my particular watch so I'm not penalizing the band.
