Both are good looks but I like the greater contrast with the grey.

exactly the opposite . brown clashes less , and blends the overall look better.

Both so you may match it with your outfit / shoes of choice at the time.

I prefer the gray for the contrast. The brown is nice but the colors are not as sharp as with the gray.

With that dial, I'd go with brown.
Time to get a Rhodium dialed DJ to keep the grey strap occupied.

I like how brown pops against gold. Dark grey and black seems too dressy.

Dark gray / black for me with that watch. If the brown was darker, it would be a closer choice, although I prefer brown only on RG pieces.

Interesting comments about contrast vs. overall matching package of YG and golden brown.

A third option that I'm toying with is a semigloss burgundy gator. Thinking that will combine the greater contrast of the grey with the overall warmth of the golden brown.

As for dark brown, I'm thinking it might be a bit too conservative.

Thanks all. Please keep the votes and comments coming.
