16570 on leather NATO

What's the consensus? I rather like it, think the dark leather contrasts nicely with the white face.

Art,

20mm shell cordovan strap ~2mm in thickness, I ordered mine from DaLuca straps. A bit pricy but I feel a bit better about the material and overall durability of the strap than the Gunny strap I had my eye on. If you are talking about the 216570, I believe that lug width is a little wider so you will have to double check on that. Oh, the color of the strap is "color 8". Thanks for all the feedback gents!

The leather is surprisingly pliable right off the bat, it's a lovely material. Highly suggested if you like leather instead of the bracelet, it's a great feel. Breaking from convention never looked so clean haha.
