If you could manage a shirt with brown or khaki stripes, IMO it would harmonize even better. Still, looks fine to me. Cookie-cutter sober attire is never as interesting as extremely nice clothing with a tiny hint of wit. (Relatively downscale watchband: tiny hint of wit. Mickey Mouse tie: giant dollop of clueless.)

Hmmmmmm.....No........A beautiful watch that shouldn't be worn with a suit, much less on a fabric strap with a suit. A dress watch should be worn under a shirt sleeve, and begs for a thin, precious metal watch on a strap. A vintage Omega, Hamilton, IWC, VC, or PP would be my choice.

Its fine, if you want to purposely dress down your suit....which I do every so often when I go to the office. But If i'm going to wear a decent suit to a decent place I always have on my Cellini.

At least you're not wearing sneakers with a suit.

great watch, great strap (exept the colour of the nato with that shirt)
i wear nato and original bracelet with a suit and my observation is that few people even notice the watch... so why be concerned about the looks. If you like it, do it...

Meters first rule !
