I like quite simple looks for leather. I have an IWC portofino rep on blue leather.

I've often considered a JLC ultra thin moon phase though with RG case and brown leather. RG and brown leather is a combo I love and can be dressy or daily.

Explorer on a leather strap is classic. It can do anything from a black tie wedding to climbing Mt. Everest. Cheers.

Goddamn that is a good looking watch.

Hi all! What is your favorite watch with a leather band?

I am in my research phase of buying my first rep or gen luxury watch. In my searches, a leather band seems to tone down a watch and make it less flashy and more fitting to a business casual style that I can wear for work everyday. I love the look of lighter brown leather bands. Please also share if you have suggestions on quality bands, why you might prefer a non-leather band, and even if you have a unique metal band that fits an everyday style. Even better, do you have a watch that has interchangeable bands? I am drawn to Rolex’s and recently found a sweet explorer. Share a pic of you can!

truthfully.. if leather bands are your thing.. Panerai sorta got that niche locked down.

It's why every panerai looks the same (kidding paneristi, kidding!) because the straps are sometimes as important as the watch itself haha

and yes, buy 1 panerai and chances are you'll have multitude of straps.. my 1 panerai and I have on counting.. 6? 7? straps.. lol

Breitling Navitimer is the best looking watch on a leather band! At least for me.

there's just something about the 111H to think it's the most basic entry-level panerai model but to me it's THE timeless panerai model.. like, when one thinks panerai.. it's probably the 111H they're thinking of

and yes, sandwich dial > any other dial

I would argue that the Reverso plays in that category too
