What color band for this tropical?

[velogeek]

I love my tropical date just, not so much the band. What color/style would you put on it? I am leaning towards a dark blue, but would appreciate other opinions. https://ibb.co/FbXxtd8

Noob question. How do I insert a photo? When I read the tread on how and followed it using the picture icon it didn't work?

Thank you for uploading my photo. I tried it on a jubilee and it really looked more muted. It just looked like a regular champagne dial.

Blue but not too blue - a more greenish or yellowish blue would work better than say a royal blue. Try a flat padded strap as well. A fully round padding is sometimes too thick on what is a smaller watch. Tone matching stitching is plain and simple and leans it to be casual or formal in its use. The strap shouldn’t dominate the watch. Makes sure it tapers to 16mm at the buckle rather than 18mm - all Rolex strap buckles are 16mm.

I like your thoughts. Blue is the complimentary color to the dial and should make it really stand out.

Electric blue stingray or shaved stingray! Give that beauty the attention she deserves!
