or is it too much and out of place? </div>I'm with Chris on this. The problem for me is that the orange stitching is too bright and overpowers the watch. A paler orange stitching would work much better as you want the eye drawn to the watch and dial rather than the strap. Otherwise you're heading in the right direction

I don't feel that this works at all.

The case speaks to me as wanting a bracelet.

Hi. Try light brown leather and co-ordinate with orange socks. Cheers Phil

I don't think it is a bad look at all. The orange stitching will not be so prominently contrasted with the dial when the watch is actually on the wrist.

I agree with Aaron. Strap it on and get a wrist shot. Or try this one. It's the F71 Nato from NSC.

This worked for me Good example and it works because the shade of orange compliments the dial rather than drawing the eye away from it.

The bracelet looks really good, I use a plain black rubber strap on my orange dial liquid filled (Flourinert) momentum M1.

This is a live auction but I only post it for the picture. I think the combination on this one is great!

Is this the same band? Doesn't look as nice without a watch attached.
