Does this strap not match the Batman GMT I'm wearing?

I have been trying to decide whether these colors go together or I need a darker strap or bracelet. What do you guys think?

It is amazing how close to the Alpinist from Seiko this looks.

I am also looking for, and sorry for being vague in the beginning, a non diver, dress watch with no date complication. I've got my eye on Chrono24 for a early 70s Tissot Seastar. I love dauphine hands, thinking that they look really bold and beautiful.

In full disclosure folks, this is not my first experience with vintage pieces. I have bought 20 to 60s watches from collector friends, had some gifted by family. Some are great, like my Hamiltons, Bulovas and Elgins...and some not so good like the Timex pieces gifted by folks. However, the target of the ask was to find a good reputable seller and get suggestions.  And thank you folks, all of you have provided me with excellent device.  And ChronoGuy, I'll be DMing you. :)  Thanks folks.

Quelle, quelle surprise.

At least we would be able to get one. Man this just feels like the MoonSwatch go-to market strategy. I'm other words, make it so difficult after hype cycle so that you give customers and potential customers a reason to go-to competitors and sour their enthusiasm for the brand. Dreadful. Just dreadful.

Well nut I get that, but it's not financially viable right now. Maybe years down the line when family responsibility isn't a factor and there are more funds.

Which strap?

Which of these straps would you put on this watch? Would you put the waffle or the tropic?
