Quick Release Tapered Milanese Mesh Watch Band, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm or 22mm, Brushed

As a strapaholic, I'm always looking for the next strap/bracelet solution — it is a pathological condition I have and, having been a watch journalist for 31 years, I don't know a worse case than mine. So I like all kinds of straps and bracelets and constantly feel the urge to exchange the look on my timepieces and am continuously looking for the next strap or bracelet. And I had been looking for a milanese mesh bracelet that would be both tapered and not too slim. When Strapcode announced them, it was a no-brainer also because they were not too expensive (being a strapaholic is not good for your wallet, never mind the watches!) and there was also the very important polished/brushed options plus the odd sizes (in my case I needed 21mm width). So, I went for it — and bought three that I've been using on some of my timepieces (I would buy a couple more if the 22mm versions were not sold out instantly). The tapering and ideal consistence (the ones I had weren't tapered or just not tapered enough or too slim) really please me, plus the quick relese pin is certainly very useful for a strapaholic. Maybe in the future Strapcode can make them with rounded edges as well and even adopt a different system for the buckle, but I assume that would make it a bit more expensive.

Perfect! Not easy to find a 19mm mesh bracelet. The tapered is nice. Love it

The sides of the bracelet are pretty sharp and they leave marks on my wrist. I tried to size it in many different ways but it doesn’t seem to change. If you pass a finger on the sides of the bracelet you’ll notice that it could have a much better kind of refinement, unfortunately it is what it is. It still looks good though.
