Summary, plus a template for wristshots in this thread: **What makes a dress watch read right on leather** 1. **Replace the stock strap** if it looks plasticky. It’s the most common tell. 2. **Strap finish:** matte calf or a good-quality grained leather beats a shiny print. 3. **Colour:** on steel, dark brown is the most forgiving; black is the most formal. 4. **Case height:** it should slide under a cuff. A strap can’t fix a thick case. 5. **Plain dials show everything:** judge them in daylight. **Wristshot template** (copy this) - Wrist: \_\_ cm - Watch and diameter: \_\_ - Strap: stock / replaced, leather type and colour - One shot from above, one with the cuff half over the case For straps versus bracelets on sports watches, there’s [the Sub on rubber, NATO or bracelet thread](https://superreps.net/t/mi-submariner-en-caucho-nato-o-brazalete-ensenad-vuestras-combinaciones/134), and for sizing on a 7-inch wrist, [Santos Medium or Large](https://superreps.net/t/santos-medium-or-large-on-a-7-inch-wrist-show-yours-and-say-what-youd-change/293). --- _[View the full topic](https://superreps.net/t/dress-watches-on-leather-show-your-wristshot-and-the-details-that-make-it-read-right/343)._
