Watch Strap Advice For My Pre Moon Speedy

I just bought my first vintage Speedmaster (145.012). So first things first, I need a nice strap so I can wear the thing! I'm eyeing some Bulang and Sons straps, but there are so many that look so nice it makes it hard to choose one, or even two. One thing I'm trying to figure out is what color strap will make the patina on the hands and the lime "pop" the most, so any suggestions there would be helpful.

Does anyone have photos of the Smokeyjack strap on a vintage speedy? I'm also thinking about getting one of the racing straps as a backup.

Feel free to post pics of your speedy with any B&S strap.

I put a Hirsch dark brown alligator strap on mine - I think it was their "Duke" strap and came to around GBP 30. It works well when I wear it to the office with a shirt and suit and the patina on the lume really pops.
