One should never wear a bracelet watch with a dinner jacket - only one with a black leather strap is de rigeur.

That's silver, it has to be gold.

Agreed - gold would be better, but IMO, a leather strap would look better still.
Alex was considering this silver watch to be worn with a DJ:

Anyone keen on watches?
Well, Barry,
I don’t know if I should be honoured that you got dressed up in your tux to very ably demonstrate and prove your point, but I’m more concerned with what Happy thought when you put on your best bib and tucker, and how let down she must have been when you told her it was just for the forum!
Bravo, though, well done!

Well at the moment she is 3,000 miles away in Cameroon, seeing her mother. If she had been here I could have taken better photos.
Don't worry, I only changed into a white double cuff shirt and the jacket, not the full shebang.

Phew!
Another point of etiquette, whether there's a rule for it or not I don't know, but I always make sure cuff links match the watch - so gold watch, gold cuff links, silver watch silver cuff links. (Certainly makes your (lovely) Rolex look even more out of place in your second photo.)

I'm just not keen on leather straps of any colour. And I've only got gold cufflinks.
