Will a Leather Strap Look Better with a Smooth or Fluted Bezel DJ41?

I was all set on getting a blue dial DJ41 with smooth bezel. But lately, I have liked the fluted. I am planning to find a leather strap. Which do you think would look better--the smooth or the fluted?

Oh, and what leather strap will fit the DJ41???

I prefer the fluted bezel regardless of strap / bracelet

Fluted with jubilee is the best combo.

If you want a leather strap you need a 21mm.

Smooth matches better, the ridges of the flutes match those of the Jubilee better.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Agree with Neil. If putting on a leather band, smooth looks better. If switching back and forth from leather to bracelet....oyster bracelet if going smooth bezel, jubilee with fluted. I personally wouldn’t take it off the bracelet, and stay with jubilee/fluted.

Thank you for letting me know. I haven't seen a leather strap for the DJ41 and would love any input ton that front.
