STRAP SWAP: I went from the gunmetal bracelet to this lovely dark brown benchmark basics full grain leather strap. I think it goes QUITE well... Thoughts?

Can’t decide which one looks better!

Fliegers on bracelets don’t look right to me. Nice piece of leather puts you back in the game! Looks great.

Looks great on leather 👌

I think that's a good color of brown relative to the tone of the case, and in combination with the smoother finish it could help you wear the watch in somewhat dressier situations. Looks like it should last you a while too, good choice!

I personally would probably do the bracelet more often, as I've veered from mostly-straps to loving the simplicity of a matching metal material. If I did leather I might also consider a fine-surfaced suede, minimal-to-no-stitching, in a lighter color that works to accentuate those markers. Maybe a taupe or a silvery/sandy color? I've just come to appreciate how that material can shift from tool-y to elegantly relaxed as needed.

Looks great on leather for sure! That Timex is a classic!

I think that leather strap gives it a great antique vintage vibe!🎯
