I like that watch on leather, it's a beauty for sure I just think the classic look for that model is on brown alligator to be specific?

actually i called up the jLC boutique in boca to inquire about which bracelet might fit the watch and the guy i spoke with said he would fit the bracelet to the moon 39 and send me some pics...when he gets a SS Moon 39 in stock in a week or two that is....

pretty cool of em

That is true.

I always try and buy the bracelet version of the watch first whenever I can, then get the leather if I really want to change it up..... Unless the watch came with leather strap option only...

Go for it!

I prefer leather myself for this model but a stainless steel bracelet could be a good addition to it, you could change it from times to times if you feel like wearing that watch with a sportier outfit (although, again, the leather would do fine in such a situation). If you want it, go for it and be happy!
