Thanks Mat!
I alternate between both bands (the leather band is original lizard Rolex with a original buckle as well and is more dressy; while the metal one is for everyday wear) I'll post some more pics... |

Both look great, personally I don't like that print on the leather.
I think it could also look great on a black nato and go well with a t shirt jeans. |

I like the Oyster better. Try a nice dark blue leather strap or brown! It'd look gorgeous!

Bracelet
 But imho that strap is not a good match for your watch... perhaps a different colour/texture would work better?

It looks very nice on both actually. But for formal occasions, the leather strap looks much better

Beautiful watch.
Both band and bracelet are attractive. However, I might choose the Oyster bracelet because it elegant but also "tooly." |

Leather band looks amazing, gives the watch elegance. The bracelet makes it look like just any other Rolex.

Ok, I know I'll get flamed for this, but IMO no watch looks good on a strap, especially a Rolex; it insults the watch and just doesn't match. Metal all the way! Let the flaming begin...
