I was able to find some more photos on a German watch website called Luxify which show a few pics of both the CE and RG versions. These are the only ones I could find which show both the dial and buckle together in the same photo.
From the looks of it, I think the buckle matches perfectly with the case housing for the pushers. This leaves me not having any concerns over the metal buckle.
As to the gold strap plots: I'm guessing in person these will be more of a subtle accent vs being too much.
November cannot come soon enough!
