The specific reason for asking is that I have, since release, been thinking about a Bel Canto Classic. But while I wear my Nero ‘original’ on the Bader bracelet, I think, from the pictures at least, the BCC suits a strap better.

But one of the main reasons for not wearing the Nero on a strap is because I find the Vacona leather (SKU 22-VAC-02-TXK-DC-ST) doesn’t have enough taper. Now I need to go measure that myself, but I think maybe it tapers from 22-20?

And I’m not sure I would buy the BCC if the accompanying fine Italian leather straps also don’t taper that much.

So I suppose it’s a specific question about the taper on the straps that accompany the BCC (relative to the Vacona leather). But a more general question about whether there’s somewhere I can go to find this out myself.
