1970 GMT barn find part 2- which insert band do you prefer

This is the watch 1970 GMT barn find I bought from springer. Which band/insert do you prefer? Thanks springer for the watch (plus the other 5 I bought from you) and thanks rolliworks for rehabbing the bracelet.

Bi-colour with jubilee and (perhaps strangely) the solid colour with the leather strap. Nice watch.

The correct insert which is possibly the right one.

I'd say you need a TT oyster bracelet for two more options and then get a dark brown leather strap too. I suppose that would be 8 options total but you get a new look for every day of the week…

Doc, they all look great, but I would pick one of the solid colored inserts if I had to choose just one!!!

(The second reason I would go solid is because Roh didn't)

Since you taught me how to change the inserts I get to rotate. Buying inserts is becoming a bad habit.

With the jubilee I'd go TT. With the leather strap I'd go solid. If I had to pick one combo it would be jubilee with the TT.
