My Panerai 233 and Toshi straps

I bought a 233 a couple of months ago and then found Traveller's thread and a photo of his 233 on a storm grey Toshi strap - so I had to have one, ordered it along with a burgundy strap - then last week ordered two more! storm blue and heritage. Thought you might like the photos I took the other day...

That 233 keeps calling me. I'm considering trading towards it.

Old thread revival! :) How is the quality of the leather with Toshi straps? Would you characterize it as soft and supple or more firm? If the latter, how does it break in over time? thanks!

Toshi straps are great quality. Soft leather that gets better and better over time. You have a collector's item there — Storm Grey is no longer being made — he can't source the leather any more. It's a shame. That was going to be my next strap for my 233.

Great pics. The burgandy is my favorite strap for a pam but the grey and blue are cool alternatives

They are all a bit different, but the quality is all great.

The heritage is very soft, the storm grey and blue and both quite soft, and the burgundy a bit less so, but still wouldn't say firm.
