This won't help, but for me they both suit the watch and I like them equally.
Greetings, Citizens.
I recently bought a Seiko chrono from SC, which came on a rather tinny bracelet - no criticism at the price point. However, I wasn't a fan, and decided a rally strap would be appropriate for a chrono. I've actually ended up with 2, so a quick straw poll below to see which people think suit it best. Strap 1 has the big rally type holes, but is pretty stiff leather, Strap 2 has the smaller perforations and is more flexible. It's longer than Strap 1 and will need an extra hole putting it to sit where I'd like it.
I think my personal preference is for 1, although it's less comfortable I'm hoping it will soften/deform with wear. Any other opinions?

F.T.F.A.
Strap 1 for me, the larger holes suit the chrono dial better IMO.
It's a close call but I think strap 1 does it for me slightly more on that watch. Both nice straps though. Where did you get them? Make?
Strap 1 off the watch stall on the Saturday market in town. Unbranded, £12.
Strap 2 Amazon, Watchgecko, £14 delivered.
Neither really bank-breakers..

That’s quite a dressy chrono so I’d go with the second strap with the smaller holes.
I think the watch would look even better on alligator grain black leather though. That’s how I used to wear mine.
I like them both, with the second one edging the first at a push.
Both good, but number 1 for me, but only just.
Strap 1 for me, those large holes in the strap create a nice line with the sub dials at six and twelve o'clock.

No real preference, but from what you've written I'd probably take Strap 2.
Stiff straps are no fun, IMO.

I think I prefer the second, personally not a big fan of big holes
