And the winner is . . . Neither!
Put it on a Staib Polonaise mesh that arrived from Long Island Watch today. About the same thickness as the Wm. Jean Milanese, and a bit stiffer from the cross weave. Staib is another watch related company in Pforzheim, Germany, along with Aristo-Vollmer, Laco, Stowa, and Ickler (LIMES, Archimede, and Autran & Viala).
Polonaise:
Just put the StrapsCo Rice Beads onto the Orient Maestro to see how it would look compared to the Wm. Jean Milanese mesh I'd put on it (original bracelet was much too "Oyster-esqe" for the watch head). Undecided flipping back and forth between pix of it. The rice beads are thicker and heavier, and seem to go well dimensionally with the watch head thickness. The Milanese, albeit thinner, works with the Bauhaus vibe.
Decisions . . . decisions . . . decisions.
