Both are nice bands but the leather is a classic look

thank you, sir! i like the leather too. classic is a good word. i cannot stand two-tone bands.

Changing strops and bands is the easiest way to change the look of the watch. I think there are some watches that just look better with a band. Though the leather looks very good I think in your case that is one of those watches where the band looks better. But of course that's just my opinion and you have to wear it.

My preference would be for the bracelet as well. The leather strap itself looks really nice, but it leaves a big gap above and below the case. Clearly this is one of those strap designs that are specific for the watch.

Don't mess with it. It like fiddling with a Porsche. You just don't do it. After all, you never bought the watch with the intention of changing the band...

here's another contender:

Personally, I like the darker leather band. I'm a fan of bracelets (my go to watch is a Cariter Pasha C in stainless with a stainless bracelet), but I like the look of that face with the dark contrast...

i actually did and i'll also tell you why.

this is the first watch that had all the specs i was looking for:

automatic swiss movement >25 jewels
sapphire crystal
luminescent hands
exhibition case back

in a design i like by a brand i like. the only thing i was iffy about is the band.

Leather of course.
