At first I thought it was Journe's choice

I really can't name any other watchmaker than Journe, whose sense for aesthetic and color pairing is unrivaled.

I like the combo, we always see black/blue navy, but to dare with different color straps might be as challenging as rewarding.
May i suggest a smooth leather one?
Stitching has the exact tonality.

What do you think of this strap combo? Maybe a bit too much gold tone? Thanks for any input.

If I may be honest

Then indeed too much gold color. The strap doesn’t make the case come out, it actually hides it a bit. Doesn’t do justice to the beautiful case.

Agree. Contrast vs compliment colors. [nt]

...summer look. When it gets colder go with something darker. Kind of like my choice of beverages...light during the summer (gin/tonic, champagne, etc.) and darker when it's cold (Scotch, bourbon, whiskey). Red wine covers my bases all year : )

I tend to agree

While I can see the temptation to try it, I feel it hides the beautiful case.

Tone on tone is my favorite generally

I agree that the strap hides the case but to me it’s a good thing Becoz it creates a harmony and warm tone of the watch

I would probably go for a stronger contrast with the gold case.

But definitely not bad looking!

Beautiful leather on its own but with watch it’s unbeatable.

It downplays the gold case in a good way. It makes the piece look younger and more fun. Which strap-maker did you buy it from?

It works.

Few straps don’t with Journes. But this is a dynamic look.

I also agree with others

Wonderful watch really, and very cool strap but I am not convinced by the two together. Some contrast is required to enhance the beauty of the watch. Why not trying a dark chocolate mat aligator strap I believe the result would be stunning. Your watch is ...

Does not look bad to me Ed but it would probably look a bit better with more contrast 👍 [nt]
