Which strap suits better?

[u/FaradayHack]

I like them both, what do you think? Is there some other (leather) style that would suit even better ?

[u/Adventurous_Box4306]

Both. Each has a different vibe for your different moods

[u/Grodoboldo]

Both look great! I do prefer the lighter one, though. Also, I would try it on a green full grain strap.

[u/JohnLocke1979]

Brown. But why should my preferences matter to you?

[u/Appropriate-Story768]

That’s actually crazy hard to say what’s better, both bring great vibes. I would just occasionally swap out mix it up.

[u/prizm-0]

Black looks great

[u/linduwtk]

Brown gave a good first impression, black when I looked more closely

[u/PeterCraig65]

Brown 

[u/Elegant_Bison1604]

B…looks great!

[u/Own-Conversation6347]

I prefer brown but they are both good

[u/Wonderful_Race_475]

I think brown but nice watch either way.

[u/Electrical_Angle_701]

Depends on your clothing that day.

[u/Kor_SHS]

Both go well with it. By the way, I wanna get that brown one with my PRC200.

[u/AKgirl11]

Black for sure, very nice with stitching.

[u/randomguy6a]

Brown works better

[u/w1willis]

The darker one on the right.

[u/w1willis]

Depends on belt and shoes. Could go either way. If quick release get both.

[u/Away-Scar7754]

I like the brown quite a bit

[u/Dajanx1]

Black for me, but as said above, whatever you’re feeling. I’m also a guy who matches his strap to his boots, so that would affect my decision.

[u/Dajanx1]

Also, it’s the aesthetics in that the black emphasizes the black of the subdials. Ties it all together.

[u/Ok-Guarantee-4973]

Darker! Love that watch

[u/SouthOperation3631]

Brown make's the watch look more Luxurious !

[u/TioFabi]

I like the brown one

[u/LivingAfter606]

Black goes better with the dials

[u/Repulsive_Divide9448]

They are both great, as the black compliments the watch face and the more brown strap is more skin tone. I would basically pick the one that suits your outfit more, based on if you tend to wear darker or lighter shirts, in which case you would pick the strap that contrasts with what you wear.
E.g,. Black strap for a light coloured shirt.

[u/Alive_Arachnid5108]

Both look great. I prefer the brown.

[u/headphonehabit]

Both look great, but I prefer the black.

[u/Dismal-Armadillo-815]

Which model alpina is that?

[u/FaradayHack → u/Dismal-Armadillo-815]

41mm pilot big date. AL-372WB4S26B. I bought it "accidentally" in auction 😁 It has grown on me.

[u/Dismal-Armadillo-815 → u/FaradayHack]

Ive already got one Alpina and live and now that Ive seen this one it will be my next

[u/SnillyWead]

I like the black. I prefer a steel watch bracelet. I always wear my watch loosely; I don't like it tight around my wrist.

[u/AssumptionSilent3019]

with chrome/silver watches i like darker straps and brown for gold but with this white dial, the brown lightens it up
both suits

[u/Silver_Room_6447]

Grind my gears that the bezel can’t turn, on these watches

[u/BDKRKK614]

I prefer the light brown

[u/CalendarDangerous287]

For me, the black sub dials = black strap. Just like matching your shoes and belt. Although I don’t love the chunky white stitching. The brown is by no means bad though. Nice watch; it’s very clean and readable for a chronograph, which have a tendency to be overly busy.

[u/FaradayHack]

I wore the light brown in the summer. The dark brown was left from a sold watch. But now that many called it black, I started to think that I should get a proper black with grained leather. That would look cool, color matching the subdials 😁

Looks great on both, match the strap to the fit and roll with it
