·My first instinct was black as it is glossy and really enhances the gold case. But I decided to go with brown: it is less 'in your face' and exults some kind of quiet elegance: something very sepia about it 😀

·Brown. However, it could change based on your complexion I think we need some wrist shots.

·Vampires can't go out in the sun. Just kidding. As one who is fair complected I can relate. Still brown though.

·Here's another approach: When faced with one of these great philosophical questions (black strap vs. brown?) sometimes it helps to try a strap color that matches a secondary color on the dial. This has the effect of making that secondary color appear more prominent. Interior designers use this trick to "pull out" the secondary colors in a room.
On your watch, the minute track and printed text are black - even the hour markers on your watch look dark - and a black strap helps to make those items pop against the light dial. If the black glossy leather is too formal, try a matte calfskin.
Or you can do what I do, and ask @Syrte for help. 😀

·I feel terrible as a contrarian that likes black over brown. 🙁
