I can’t decide which combo I like best.

I think the blue strap brings out the blue hands of CS and green matches the dial of the Automatique better.

Here’s CS with burgundy and Automatoque with black for reference.

The “after”.

I think green is the best match for those dials. It’s the same for me and my white gold dialed Resonance, I have a khaki OEM on it and I’ve left it on for several years now. It just makes the dial a warmer dial.
