Here is my watch box, you can see for yourself which ones are on leather:

Couple of bubba's

These are two that work well on a strap. The nice thing about straps, as any Paneristi can declare, is that you can change them out to suit your mood, season, or dress occasion.

Just had a look at a dark brown Leonardo Principal for my YM today, but it looked to me like it would leave a bit of a gap. Is yours 20mm? Does it fit perfectly?

Hey we have the same Orient...great watch eh?

An Orient Day-Date (such a great watch...looks kinda like a JLC...costs kinda like a Casio, with my favorite features, the full day and date)

A JLC Master Ultra-Thin 38

Sometimes a Rolex Day-Date (sometimes on the bracelet)

A Sector 850 Day-Date-Moon

And sometimes a Breitling Aerospace

I LOVE straps! I think it makes a watch much more dressy!
