New Toshi Straps for my 372

Richard Beard at Toshi Straps, UK is a gentleman and really does excellent work. His prices are also quite reasonable. He produced these two straps for me in 4 weeks and I have ordered another 2 including a black Horween leather strap for my 372. The quality of the leather is outstanding. Highly recommended if you are looking for something a bit different.

looks great buddy, you could give Bosphorus Leather a try.

got a few straps from him for my pam 000.

great workmanship although it takes a little long.

Thanks Guys. I'll give Bosphorus Leather a look in as well. Always looking for new strap suppliers - its part of the fun with Panerai.

I’ve added another new Toshi strap to my 372 and this one is a real stunner. I’ve often fancied a plain black strap on my 372 for a more utilitarian, tool watch aesthetic. Richard at Toshi made me this beautiful black Horween strap with stealthy black stitching. I think it goes really well and is super comfortable. What do you think?

Great straps. However, I don't know if anyone can make a 372 look bad. Such a magnificent watch!

Nice straps! I've bought several straps from Richard over the past few years and I've never been disappointed. Super nice guy too

I have been on the fence between a 372 and 650 until just now when I saw the pic on the black strap. It is much more versatile than I have it credit for.

I love it on the black strap and this has become my "go to" strap for the 372 - even over my PAM Assoulamente strap. The black gives the 372 a no-nonsense tool watch look and sets of the stainless steel case very nicely.

very nice.... curious, how would you describe the quality and feel of the leather? Soft and supple or more firm? Contemplating some straps from toshi... thanks!
