I could do one similar to this...

Another good choice would be Will Jean's new mesh due to the straight case section in the 6217's lugs. Will just sent me one and it's fit and finish are superb. There is a full review by Harry in an earlier post here as well:

I haven't done a conversion for the 6217 which is why I posted this photo. It's the closest in look to what you might choose.

I agree, an original strap isn't an option because of the cost/reliability mentioned. I've seen quality oysters on 6105s and 6309s, but I've never seen a bracelet on a 6217. Do you have any pics swedefreak?
