What are your thoughts on blue watches with black straps? Pics greatly appreciated.

I have a beautiful blue watch that came on a nice black leather and deployant clasp. I didn't wear it as much until I put it on brown strap. It felt to much like a dress watch on black. The brown strap somehow makes the dial look more blue.

Light blue watch on a light brown strap and dark blue watch on a dark brown stap looks the most balanced to me. I do like blue sport watches on black rubber.

Thanks for all of the input. This is the direction I'm going, but I would generally prefer one with blue stitching IF I could find to match Omega's blue. There are some that are close, but...

I don't think this is bad, but may take a little getting used to. It looks like a lot of blue in the pic, but you obviously don't see it nearly as much when on the wrist.

I have a watch with a black face & blue markings on the face. It has a metal bracelet and I'm considering swapping it out for a black leather strap with blue stitching I saw at Strapsco.
