Which Ballon Bleu??

I think leather makes more sense on a more casual or sporty watch. The BB is an elegant design and that's why I think the bracelet compliments it more. But you can certainly do what you like!
 
thank you all for your feedback. I love the look of the leather, but understand the concerns about upkeep.

Also depends on how you plan to wear it. If it will be a special occasion watch, black leather would look very nice. Or if you love the look and are prepared to replace it regularly, go for it!

But imho, I have to agree the Ballon Bleu looks best with a bracelet and SS rather than 2-tone best.

I prefer two-toned bracelets vs leather. Leather gets sweaty and sticks to my arm in the summer. You can always get the bracelet and buy a leather band at a later date and switch them out!
