Both work great but I lean towards the warmer look of the brown strap against the gold case.

Brown, but I’d go a bit lighter. Check this out: https://www.hashtagwatchco.com/produ...k-serial-watch

What colour is your belt and shoes?

I like the brown strap. Seems more "vintage" for some reason.

I prefer brown, but looks nice with either.

Both. That way you can switch it up from time to time. I like some variety. Keeps it interesting.

The brown is warmer looking with that dial. Black makes it too stark in my opinion.

On a side note, in my opinion, I'm not a fan of bands with contrasting stitching. Too sporty.

IMHO the brown straps looks made for that watch. If you desire strap switch-ups, the different tones and textures in the brown color family will give you much more options than black straps will.
