Does this brown NATO work?

Can’t figure out if this watch face is gray or brown

I think the dial is gray, but it looks fine with the brown strap.

I think the brown works very well and gives it another look. Great watch.

I like the black. My try another pic with the brown strap as the black strap picture came out really nice. Maybe you’ll change my mind : )

Great watch. I love that face.

I think that watch looks fabulous, in my opinion, I think the black strap suits it better, that's not saying that the brown doesn't look good, it does, I just prefer the black on that watch.

Brown looks ok but I think it looks way nicer on the black. Cool looking watch.

Here is the watch on a different black NATO. It is black with gray on the side. I think I still like brown the best, but I am open to other opinions.

I love the watch and think it’s beautiful. I just don’t think the nato strap in any color is doing it much justice.

Have you tried a deep dark brown dress leather strap? I think that might look pretty good. But who knows.

I would like a NATO for that which plays off the brightest color which is red in the word "Sports." So a strap with a red accent in it. Just my $.02





Or maybe brown and red to go with the brown from your original choice?
