    Let's play the "suggest a strap" game again

    My stainless, white dial, black numeral, watch. What strap would you put with it? What color, material, style, etc.
    All 3 hands are blued but that is mostly irrelevant.
    If you can, show some examples of what you like.

    I would put something on it almost identical to what you have - a black "buffalo" texture semi-matte with a slightly contrasting stitch. The watch is neat and semi-formal and could dress up or down, so a bit of texture and stitch keep it from going too dressy. Bright colors would not be my first choice, unless maybe a hint in the contrast stitch. Good as-is to me.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    IMO, it's already on the perfect strap. Not too dressy and not too casual.

    Similar thoughts to those expressed above. Conservative with a bit of texture, stitch colour optional.

    It looks very good on what it is but for myself I'd experiment with matte dark brown or black leather, dark/navy blue or no stitching. Wouldn't mind trying it on a leather nato, something like this:
