I like the bracelet, but if I was wearing it on a strap, I'd get a croc strap.

I say bracelet as well between these two options. A nice strap would look great as well!

Strap for me, that strap: I don't like the contrast stitching on B straps.

I think the bracelet, strap seems too plain for that beauty.

Coming from a guy who usually prefers bracelets, that watch looks even better on the strap!

I like the Barnato, but I'd have gone with the Chronomat, especially the Airborne.

I think it looks great on both. That is one of my favorite bracelets though, so if I HAD to pick, I might have to vote bracelet. Almost any strap will look great with that watch. Nice choice.

I would also have preferred the Chronomat B01 - 41 mm for me though. Both on bracelet... :)
