I prefer matte, and I prefer large scales, and I think the chocolate color is a better fit to the watch than the burgundy. Most probably more versatile also, if you‘re like me and wear brown shoes and belts more often than burgundy.
I just got this very nice strap. On top you see the oem Patek strap (worn 4 years) and below you see an alligator strap with a stamp from a well known german retailer made by my favorite strap maker. It costs almost one ninth (!) of the oem strap which is...

However, that ad already gifted me an PP oem strap that is just what are talking about: more lively, but with some Patek class. Thanks for your opinion!
