“A really well made, secure and attractive bracelet.
The Polonaise was ordered as a possibility for a smallish mens Deco styled watch.
It is a sort of herringbone weave, highly polished and very slightly thicker than the Milanaise, which I'd already purchased from Long Island watch.
On the watch in question, I find the Milanaise more attractive on this particular watch as it is "quieter" and seems to work sightly better visually.
I will most definitely use the Polonaise on another watch.
Both are extremely well made have extremely durable clasps and for the price have no competion.
Could not possibly be more pleased with both.
arc at Island is a pleasure.”
“I can't say enough good things about Long Island watch. I don't like this mesh band; it looks like cheap junk and takes away from the overall value of the watch which is very well done by Islander. This band does not come up to Long Islands high standards.”
“I have bought various milanese mesh bands over the years and wasn't aware of the polonaise version until I saw it on the Long Island Watch site. In hand it is just as sturdy as most good quality milanese mesh bands, but the braided pattern of the weave just looks striking to me. I can see it going on most/all of my 18mm band watches going forward. I may buy one in 20 and/or 22mm as well as it would look great on many of those as well!”
“This bracelet was of great quality for the price. I originally ordered a bracelet off of amazon for the same price, which was horrible compared to this. I would highly recommend this bracelet. The only thing I wish they would change is offering different finishes because as many people said, this bracelet is very shiny/polished. This isn't a problem for me because my watch is polished too, but this might look a bit weird for watches that have a darker brushed finish.”
