My interest in watches began when i started watching restoration videos on youtube. I then began watching reviers like Ben, from Bens Watch Club. The first watch that I bought myself was a vintage Lor...

I think the rally looks best. The oranges contrast nicely with the colour of the strap.
Love mesh and don't wear leather myself, but in this case I think the leather strap looks better.
The mesh gives you a totally different look, I might put mine on mesh for a bit. The leather is more in touch with the retro styling. I prefer the orange strap option (leather and rubber below), but I like changing straps/ looks so it's good to see how the options compare.

Yep, I agree. The rally strap definitely makes the watch "pop" much more, and is certainly the more traditional look. I do think the mesh looks good in a more understated way.

Oh no, he used the “pop” word! 🙉

I usually get rid of the metal bracelets from all my Chinese watches and put on leather or silicone. In this case though, the mesh is a keeper. Albeit for infrequent wearing.

More options to consider, thank you. That orange strap looks great too!
Black leather. Although I quite like the mesh too.
I don’t like rally straps, the presence on the iconic Monaco watch from TAG has always been an impediment factor for me personally from ownership, mesh bracelets when executed well are terrific, elegant and old. Imo the mesh adds some charm to the watch.
Rally. Mesh looks good but I personally don't like the comfort.

I'm wearing the mesh today, and you're right. It feels totally different. I can barely notice it's on my wrist.

Interesting! With or without orange accents?
Rally strap all day long

The answer is always "mesh."

After a day of wearing the mesh I have to admit that I do like the how it looks and feels, but my preference is definitely for the rally strap.
I don’t particularly like that mesh strap that comes with it. The clasp is a pain in the ass.
For that reason, I opt for the rubber strap.

I know what you mean. I had a near miss with it earlier today. Luckily I was paying attention!
