Looking at purchasing a nice leather strap for my speedy from Bulang and Sons. What I can't decide on is whether I want a square cut or tapered cut. I'm leaning towards tapered cut as one of the things I like about the fit of my Rolex's is the slight taper from 20mm to 16mm on the band, just more comfortable to me. Thoughts?

I much prefer tapered, both for aesthetic purposes and comfort

I prefer a 2mm taper, so 20 to 18, 18 to 16.

Tapered

I have several B&S straps for my Speedy and tapered is way to go. They are gorgeous straps!

Tapered for sure.

One more vote for a tapered strap. Square straps look less elegant IMHO.

2mm down would be my max, but I quite like straight down straps, nice and sporty.

Thanks everyone, I believe I will go with the tapered style. Specifically the Siena Brown Leather strap from Bulang and Sons for my speedy.
