Second and third for me. Very cool. They sort of dress down the watch a little without making it too casual. Like saying, "I know the rules but I'm not afraid to bend them".
I’ve never been one to change straps often, I usually try a few straps on a new watch until I find the one that then stays on until it’s worn and needs replacement. This watch is the first one I like on many different ones. no.1 is the one that came from the seller. I agree it is probably what matches the intent of the watch but while it does look great it doesn’t really match my style and even when I wear suits they’re usually gray with black shoes so that doesn’t really work. no.2 is a chocolate calf, I thought this was going to be the one in this case but after trying the suedes on it lost its throne (bad picture unfortunately). no.3 is a suede that came with another watch, it’s worn and a little dirty but it revealed itself to be very flexible and a crowd pleaser, every time I post a watch with this one on people are more interested in the strap than the watch! no.4 and 5 are two new suedes I bought because the other one looked so nice so I wanted to try more. These two are my favorites.
3 and 5 for me leaning 5. Suedes really soften up a formal watch like this—-Look great in summer too.
Straps are very much a personal choice and you have to consider what you're wearing as an ensemble along with where you're planning to go, however.... I've always found that matching a strap to the indices is a good place to start while matching the strap to the case or dial can easily "wash out" the overall look.
Well the indices and the case are the same color here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did think no.4 would be too light when I ordered it but I ended up liking it.
