Advice! Beads of rice? Mesh?

Hello, I figure I didnt format this properly. I'm looking for some tips on two looks I'm interested in. If anyone can help that would be much appreciated. I'm hoping to give a PR 100 or a Hamilton Khaki a vintage look by discarding their current bands and placing them on either a mesh or beads or rice look with a straight end link! The pr 100 tissot quartz could do well on a nato but I'm looking for what I mentioned :) any ideas or options!? Also have a hamilton khaki I may want to suit up the same way. Tissot is like 20 ml and I'm looking for good deals but strong sturdy stuff on mesh or beads of rice. For the hamilton I'm looking for the same, strong mesh, beads of rice on a 22mm. And the OEM straps are up for grabs as I dont like them.

Please let me know if you guys have any ideas
