Thank you! Don't feel bad, we learn through our mistakes. The valuable lesson you've shared here is an asset to the community and will serve to prevent others from making the same error.
You have obviously shown yourself to be a Jedi of watches and fashion. Me, I’m just a dude who likes watches and believe it or not I picked up that stitch pairing here when I saw others showing their wares. I think it might look ok on some other watches I have, well I’ll give it a try anyway. I just stopped by the local boutique to get cat food and noticed some lovely pairings. I had to buy a bunch of fancy feast so the jewelers would even acknowledge me of course.
I find most of the crusty old fucker rules we are playing by here to be really boring. I object to the whole idea of strap shaming, but I will admit that while looking for pics of my watches to show counterpoint I realized I actually adhere to them for the most part (so much for my anti-authoritarian subconscious).
I do want to show an exception on red straps. This watch peeking out from under a Blue Oxford’s cuff is a little burst of color that’s a treat and picks up the red second hand. It’s a deeper red and Horween leather so smells like a baseball glove- yummy.
D- so wrong in so many ways and you shout “objection” at the top of your lungs as you bang the table but can only produce one example that goes against the “grain”. You are in denial.

I think obsolete and asinine would also be appropriate descriptors.
I had the same disappointing realization – although I sidestep most of the "rules" by keeping my watches on their bracelets.
I do not like the flat ends on the NTTD. It should have proper end links.
I believe this is the only sensible thing you've said so far in this entire thread.
