Leather looks nice, but the bracelet looks best!

I would normally always say bracelt, but ive been enjoying leather on vintage lately so I'd go with the leather. Nice to have a choice and always good to switch it up. Nice sub!

I agree with Sam. I think that particular watch looks great on leather (and I too am a bracelet guy).

I like to switch them out, but usually it's the bracelet.

Yes, but what would you do with those beaded boy bracelets? I guess you could have one made for your neck!!!

I like the leather look for this particular sub, especially with the shade of those markers.
