I realized that I’m just a huge huge fan of tapered bracelets. After a number of watch purchases, finally came to this realization.

With that said, I have the SBGE257. Does anyone know if Grand Seiko makes a bracelet that is tapered which fits this watch?

I also prefer tapered thin bracelets. This is an area where Rolex outshines GS.

Maybe asking another question. Does anyone know if GS makes any watches with bracelets that have a 3 to 4mm taper?

The ridicolous tapering on my 214270 from 20mm to 15.5mm is the reason why I don't use this otherwise beautiful Oyster bracelet and only wear the Explorer on a NATO.

You see whether something is better at Rolex or not, is in the eye of the beholder and is not an objective evaluation.

The fact that Grand Seiko only makes bracelets that are tapered no more than 2mm is one of the many reasons I am so excited about them.

There is currently a clear trend in the industry towards these more feminine dimensions, but fortunately Grand Seiko is staying true to their previous designs.

I don't know if it was any different 10 years or longer before, but you won't find anything like that at Grand Seiko today. The only option will probably be a leather strap, you will find all dimensions there and you can choose something according to your taste.

The new 41 jubilee taper is perfection on wrist
