Leather Strap on my SuperOcean Heritage

What do you guys think? I did a temporary switch from the stainless steel mesh.

I would have gone with a blue strap.

not to disagree with ken but it has a subtle look to it.

I did see one in blue that I liked, but still opted for the brown, but would have preferred a lighter brown. The watch with the original mesh strap can be very flashy with the case itself being 46mm and the brown leather helps tone it down if I'm wearing it to work.

Looks good. Where did you get the strap from?

I really like it. I think it gives the watch a more understated quality. Gratz!

I have the green Super Ocean Heritage and put it on a green croco OEM strap with deployant and really enjoy it. Looks good but I would have gone blue.
Cheers

I say a light brown color would go with the blue better and I am not a huge croc/lizard fan. But do love a nice leather strap.

Enjoyed it on the brown leather that I got from a locally owned watch dealer for a bit but had to go back to the stainless mesh as I feel that is what made me first fall in love with the watch. I think I might end up getting a more light brown colored leather strap at some point or perhaps a blue croc/leather or maybe even try the rubber strap. Sometimes the stainless mesh is too flash for my line of work..the brown leather straps as someone above mentioned give it a more subtle look.

Truthfully, I like metal on sports watches. If you like it and feel comfortable with it that is all that really maters. Leather looks good on dress watches.
