Name's Lorenzo not Luke (username is an old joke among friends), been collecting watches for a few years now and have a small collection including seiko, citizen, fortis and a couple of g-shocks.
My 3 year old picked out a couple of watches (2 for £10 at the garden centre, bargain) as her Christmas gift from her mother and I, and I'm very happy...
Yea don't think I've ever seen the bracelet for sale on its own. I wear my Alpinist (also 19mm lugs) with 20mm natos and I think it looks ok, but for leather (not a crime especially since I doubt you'll be getting a 20+ year old watch wet!) you'd definitely want 19mm imo!
I've got an SCVF007 Alpinist, which should have a similar coloured dial to yours, and I wear it on natos for the most part, as the dial colour is quite versatile.
If you're not a fan of natos I think it would look great on rubber and it would allow you to get a few different colours
If you go for a bracelet I think you should go full SS as I think gold tone would clash with the tooliness of the watch (although I realise it would pick out the tone of the hands), which is also why I would go all brushed (i.e. probably just a boring oyster style bracelet), but that's just me!
Thank you for the info, and while it makes sense to get an auto version for ease of maintenance, none of the auto ingeneurs I've seen look as good as this!
