16013 DJ buckle opinions needed

As per a previous post, I have a mid 80's TT DJ 16013 and just ordered the TT custom end links which will allow me to install a black croc strap in lieu of the TT jub bracelet. I also plan to use a deployment buckle non the croc strap.

I could use some opinions on what color buckle would look best with a TT case and black croc strap. If the case was either all SS or all gold, it would be simple... because it's TT I'm flip flopping.

I have a SS (silver) deployment buckle ordered originally thinking that the clasp on the TT jub bracelet is silver SS. But now while I wait for the parts to arrive, I am thinking the small gold deployment buckle may look better as it is so much smaller than the clasp on the jub bracelet and would contract the black nicely.

Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks,
Vince

Gold for me. With the TT having the centre links yellow gold continuity for me running in the centre of the strap ie the buckle would best suit gold. (Hope that makes sense! Sounds better in my head than typed)

Gold. I've tried into with a TT DJ and gold matches better
