Vintage-style diver on leather?

Looking for a hive-mind opinion.

I have this Helson Sharkmaster (homage of the vintage Seamaster 165-024), and I'm just not into the heavy bracelet that comes with the watch. In fact, I generally don't prefer heavy bracelets.

Does this look right on a leather strap?

It does look awesome on vintage divers. I have a personal OCD against this style as dive watches belong on straps/bracelets that you would actually take in the water.

For a desk diver that may only see the deep end of a bathroom sink it's perfectly acceptable on leather

Looks awesome, but I don’t “rock” things, i just tend to put them on with as little grace and moxie as possible.
