Help me Choose a strap for my 15400 Blue

[Chadridv]

Hey all!

I'm bringing in my 15400 to have the crystal replaced (scratched) the end of this month, and I'm considering ordering a new strap and clasp to go with it, to be installed at APSC after the service.

I'm leaving towards leather, and on top of that I'm leaning towards blue.
(Before you all jump on me for this, I'll add, I love the bracelet, but I'm just in a strap mood lately and like to mix it up)


My questions:

• Does anyone have the blue leather on a blue 15400? If so, does it match perfectly? If not a perfect match, does it look good? I'd have concerns that if not a perfect match it might clash. Any pics would be appreciated.
  
  
• Should I consider any other colors? Brown might look nice or even gray. Again, any pics would be appreciated.
  
  
• Lastly, I am feeling pretty strong about leather, but could be persuaded to check out rubber. My feeling is this though, I don't wear this watch all the time, it's more of a special occasion type of watch, so I'm not overly concerned about swimming, easy washing or hard use and sweat.

Here's a pic for good measure! Thank you all in advance.
